CHALLENGE COMPLETED 🎈🥂✅📚😊⭐️🎉

This will be my first challenge, so I hope I've got things right.
I'm also trying to only use books already in the house (!) to get my to read pile down a bit.
Any suggestions for the missing Egypt Author? I've already read The Map of Love

Try out Naguib Mahfouz :)

Thanks, just been looking at reviews for Palace Walk sounds interesting

Updated and swapped a couple of choices. Enjoying the challenge.

How did you get those cute little green check marks? Those are perfect for marking read/unread.

Hi Ardith, I’m using the desktop site on my iPhone and they are an emoji in the symbols section- make sense? ✅

I'll have to get in there and see what I can do. Thanks for the directions!

Level 1 complete 😊

Enjoying this challenge and having a plan of what to read next rather than just a random choice. Thanks for organising the challenge.

Level 2 complete

Trying to inspire myself to get back into this challenge, keep getting distracted by other books.

Managed to get some time for reading last few weeks and have picked up this challenge again, level 3 complete and now have only one book to go,

Looks good!

Yay Carol!!

Great job!

Thanks everyone. Have been completely sidetracked by reading previous winners of the women’s prize for fiction. That challenge finishes November 1st so will plough on then pick this up and finish before the end of 2020. I’m determined! 😊📚

This year has just been a funky year. I know my challenge got sidetracked when the libraries all shut down. I still haven't got back to it because I started down so many other rabbit holes.

Funky is a very polite description for 2020 Gretchen! 😊

CHALLENGE COMPLETED 😊

Congratulations, Carol! 🎉🎉

Congrats!!🎈🎈🎈

Congratulations Carol!

Belated congratulations on completing the challenge 👏🎉⭐️
