Christian Fiction Devourers discussion

Are you struggling to keep up with your challenges? Here's a place where we can keep track and encourage each other to squeeze in time to finish up challenges and beat those deadlines.

How it works:
1. I will post links to challenges shortly after they're created, with the end date(s) included in my post.
2. Anyone is free to pipe up about which ones they're struggling with, how many more books they have until they finish, which categories they need help finding books for, etc.
3. Feel free to talk about other challenges we host that go throughout the entire year, as well.
4. Have fun!

Tidings of Comfort and Joy

You and Cheryl are right on top of things.

We're trying! I got sidetracked a couple of days on a different project that was more critical, so I'm playing catch-up tonight. Lots of notifications on my Goodreads account the last couple of days, apparently!

Message three is updated with March's challenges.

Message #3 is updated with May's challenges. Happy reading!

Thanks Andrea! I need to take a look at my challenges...

Sure thing, Staci. I'm in the same spot. I have a few I've finished but haven't updated and others that still need to be worked on (some harder than others).

Message #3 is updated with September's challenges.

Here's what's remaining for me...

E-Reader:
Nine to go to meet goal of 51. Should be obtainable.

Golden Oldies:
I didn't pick a level, but have only read seven this year. Would love to get to at least ten.

That sounds like a doable list by the end of the year. Way to go!

Looks like you've got this Staci! Way to go. I just finished my last book to complete all 4 ABC challenges. Need to work on several others but not sure I will complete them as I don't want to miss out on my November/December Christmas book binge!

Thanks ladies! Nice job Loraine!

Fantastic work, Loraine!
