I finished listening to this book last night while driving home along foggy, curvy mountain roads. It was not the best time to get weepy, but I certainly did so. I should have stopped the book until I reached home, but I could not.I adored Nana and Saturo and their journey. I will be thinking over their exploration of past relationships and brand new discoveries for quite some time to come. 💕
Terrific! Thank you both for testing it. 🥰🤗

FAQsWhen are challenges posted and unlocked?
▪ Around a month in advance, challenges are posted for viewing only so that members may plan their reading.
▪ Challenges are unlocked about one week prior to their start date, usually around the 25th of the preceding month.
What happens if my challenge idea is chosen?
▪ We can't use every idea submitted, but we do use many of them.
▪ If we choose your challenge, you may lead it if you wish.
▪ If you'd rather not lead, we can seek a volunteer leader, so no pressure!
▪ When posting a challenge idea, please let us know whether or not you’d like to lead your challenge, if selected.
May I volunteer to lead a challenge that I didn’t suggest?
▪ Absolutely! When a new quarterly or monthly challenge is posted, you might see a note at the bottom indicating that we need a volunteer challenge leader.
▪ Leading a challenge is a great way to get to know fellow book lovers in this group!
▪ New leaders are welcome.
▪ If interested, send a message to the moderator who posted the challenge.
What does a challenge leader do?
▪ A challenge leader has three responsibilities:
(1.) Make an alphabetized list of participants.
(2.) Check comments to update participants’ progress.
(3.) Encourage and congratulate participants.
▪ Leaders may use our challenge spreadsheet if they wish.
Follow this link to the Google Sheets file, and open the How to Use tab. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/...
▪ Please update weekly for a monthly challenge, and two or three times per month for a quarterly challenge. Also, post an update one week after the challenge ends.
What if a participant posts their progress after the challenge ends?
▪ There may be a few stragglers who post their final progress update after the challenge ends.
▪ One week after your monthly or quarterly challenge ends, please check your challenge thread to congratulate any late finishers.
▪ After that week, whether you do further updates of your Participants List is up to you.
