You're welcome! What's ironic is that I structured the whole schedule and then accidentally clicked elsewhere on the webpage, causing me to lose it all. :D I remembered where I put everything, though, so it's all good.

Oh my!
I have done some dumb things before. Once I had the Monthly Reads almost done. Went to check on something and closed out of the window!
Needless to say I had to start over...Smh

That's why I started writing things out in a Word document first, then copy-pasting into GR.

That's what I did! LOL I clicked to a different page AFTER I closed the Word document that I did not save.

Samantha, thanks so much for setting this up!

Oh, no!

Thanks Samantha! I plan to read Klee Wyck. My library doesn’t have it but luckily I found it on Hoopla!

thanks Samantha, some really interesting reads there

Thanks, Samantha for all your hard work. I'm in for March.

Thank you for posting the list!

Looking forward to a few of the smaller reads! I don't think I could fit March or May-August into my schedule or my general attention span 🤣

I strongly recommend The Second Sex. That's among my favourites in the genre.
