2025 & 2026 Reading Challenge discussion

We're all excited to see what you got! Please post here so your Santa will know your book has arrived safely.

Messages are just starting to go out--please be patient as there is a max number of messages I can send a day, so the messages will go out over the next few days. I am going through the physical books first then will get to the ebooks. I appreciate your understanding!

Some of your books are coming from very long distances (and some countries are experiencing significant post delays), so don't worry if you don't receive anything quickly.
