It looks like I completed the challenge!

I think I actually completed the challenge in 2025 just didn't mark my books (and can't find this year's challenge anymore). I read 8 books of Anne of Green Gables series and the 4 Neapolitan novels by Elena Ferrante. I also read 12 other books that belong to series, so this challenge should be easy 😀

I really want to tackle Hunger Games in 2026.

I'm also interested how many I have without trying.

Took some liberties with Eugene Onegin, which I read in Russian, as an alternative spelling (closer to the way it's pronounced in Russian) is Yevgeny.

I just noticed that my Maths doesn't add up :) I actually have 11 books on my list. The number 5 is used twice and I have 5, not 4 road trip books.

Okay, I'm also in. I also have some series to tackle.

I'm catching up with this challenge - reading To Kill the Mockingbird for July and actually two books with hot covers for August - The Stolen Coast and The Guncle.

Hi, I am dacejav on BC and I've sent you a friend request, too ;)

I'll join this one.

January - New: Leave the World Behind by Rumaan Alam. It's a NEW copy, and I actually started to read it on the New Year's Eve.
February - Number: Station ELEVEN by Emily St. John Mandel.
March - Travel: I traveled in a sky ship to the Ice Continent in Brightstorm.
April - Celebrate: I read The Personal Librarian for the National Library Day.
May - May I? I read Tu redzēji?. A Norwegian YA book translated into Latvian.
June - See: Stroika with a London VIEW by William B. Foreignerski
July - 1001 list: To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
August - Gonna Make You Sweat: The Stolen Coast by Dwyer Murphy

Hi Sandy! I also found bookcrossing only last year. My family really wants to travel the States this way, but it is just a dream at the moment.

Carol, you can find the wishlist search here: https://www.bookcrossing.com/searchbo...

(I just entered The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo as an example)

Another way is to use the forum "(Not-So-) Random Acts of BookCrossing Kindness": https://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/10

People often post the books they want to give away there.

I was also curious how I have done without really doing this challenge and not that bad actually:

A. All the Missing Girls
B. Behold the Dreamers
C. Crash into You
D. The Daughters of Kobani
E. The Eighth Life (for Brilka)
F. Fahrenheit 451
G. Graduates in Wonderland
H. Heart of Bachelor
I.
J. ჯინსების თაობა
K. The Kiss Qu0tient
L. Loved You Once
M. The Museum of Abandoned Secrets
N. The Newcomer
O.
P. A Promised Land
Q. The Queen's Gambit (CR)
R. Rescuing Emily
S. Solar Plexus: A Baku Saga in Four Parts
T. Trading Reality
U. Untraceable
V. Vilcēni
W. The Woman in the Window
X.
Y.
Z. Zirgs, kurš pazaudēja brilles

I counted ჯ for J as that is how it is transliterated and phonetically it is the same sound.

Hi Carol! It's nice that my intro provoked you to write a chatty reply. I am still a newbie but I have already understood that wild releases are rarely journaled :( None of my wild releases have been journaled so far (though they were picked up quickly). So I have concentrated on controlled releases instead, but that portion of bookcrossing fun has also been hit recently by the new EU customs regulations, increased postage, lock-downs etc. I am now concentrating on swapping books in local book swaps and on book exchange shelves.
It sounds interesting about the KDramas and Korean and Japanese books. I only watched a little episode from a K-Drama and it was all too "dramatic" for my liking if you understand what I mean. But it is great that they provoked your interest in Korean and Japanese literature.

Hi, I am dacejav on Bookcrossing. I joined BC only in March this year, I have also started to use GR actively only this year. Actually, it was one of my challenges this year to mark all the books I read on GR :-) nice to meet you all!
