Thank you

Where can I find this challenge? I listen to at least a couple of audiobooks a month

I finally got round to updating my list. Unfortunately, although I've read 32 books so far this year, I could only mange to find 17 to fit the themes. Maybe I'll look through the list and find some more I can add. Some fit ones I've already found covers for. Is it OK to double up on some words?

I'd love to hear your response when you do... make a movie night?"

I finally watched the Keira Knightley one on the weekend. I think I looked the setting more. In my mind it seemed more realistic than the other one, but who knows. It certainly moved along quicker, which isn't surprising, considering how much shorter it is. Very enjoyable, anyway. I think the book is due a reread, as it's a few years since I read it.

I just had my birthday last week and am wondering if anyone has a suggestion for an 'April' read. I'm open to most genres.

I'd be up for a buddy read of some sort. Not sure what everyone likes to read, but I'm open to ideas.

We have the Keira Knightley one, but I’ve never watched it.

Which version of P&P did you watch? The Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle mini-series is my favourite version.

Sounds like a great plan William. I know it works ..."

Thanks. We moved east to west, from Ontario to Saskatchewan. We're fairly settled, although moving during a pandemic was a strange experience.

2020 was a horrendous reading year for me. I just couldn't seem to concentrate enough, plus we moved across the country in the summer. But, I'm going to give this a try and see if I can kickstart my reading once more.

Either option works for me. A new list for 2020 would be good, but it doesn't necessarily have to be shorter.

It’s been fun, but I don’t think I’m going to make it. I’ll need to try harder next year!

I might be interested later in the year, but currently I'm bogged down with studies and all I'm getting to read are textbooks.
