Marla’s comments from the Second Chance Challenges group.

I was going to give up on this challenge, but I instead I picked out books for Years 1972, 1977, 1980 & 1983. I'm hoping to get this done in 2024

Finally finished this challenge in the message above in 20 months. This was way harder than I thought it would be.

I just saw this challenge, but I noticed that it was based on an All Challenges All the Time challenge. I've decided to do the U.S. portion of that Page Landform Fun challenge since I'm also a member of that group. Thank you for crediting the inspiration for this challenge, or might have missed that challenge.

Once I'm done, I might be back for your variation. Good luck all!
