Just posted my final update in message 20.Always a pleasure to read with you guys! Best wishes for a Happy & Healthy New Year to all!
Happy Holidays!
All Summer in a Day is a great story.I enjoy the Agatha Christie short story audio books when I walk.

The most important thing is to have fun. I've found a few Agatha Christie short story audiobooks at my library and I love the list of short reads online that Cynthia posted on our spreadsheet.
I don't think I'm going to read Babel. Long wait for it at the library and its the kind of book that I really have to be in the mood to enjoy.
I'm going to finish my easy reads in the next 2 days. I love those quick and easy 10 points. With 19 members, that would be 190 team points if everyone did their easy reads!
Kelly wrote: "so behind on my posting, the holidays really take up a lot more of my time than they use too, but I get to bake and cook more and send that time listening to audiobooks. updated post 186"Enjoy it. They grow up so very fast!
That sounds fantastic!
I hope to finish my last book shortly. It will be last book for November.

I currently am reading 3 books, so when I sit down to read, I just grab whatever I am in the mood for at the moment.

I enjoyed it too. I read it within the last few months so I wasn't able to read it for the bonus points this month
Glad the puppy is all right!My reading has been all over the place, mostly holds at the library finally coming in. I'm almost done with the audiobook of Lisa Marie Presley's autobiography.
Thanks for the analysis Cynthia. I usually try to read the easy reads first for a quick 10 points but it seems like all the library books I've had on hold keep coming in now. I will definitely finish my last 2 easy reads for the month in the next few days
Congratulations Kelly! Nice to see you
Congrats Kelly!
WooHoo! Thanks for the update Cynthia!
