Anyone joining for September?

I personally was already reading a stack of books which unfortunately didn't fit any of the requirements for this challenge. I am looking forward to next months challenge (if there is one) I will plan better since my stack of 6 has became just a book.

Nice job, Marian! Congrats on finishing your challenge!

How are you doing, Olivia? Looks like you finished one earlier in the month. Did you finish any others or decide one was your challenge?

I didn't get to any this month! I'm in a bit of a slump and didn't do much reading.
