2025 Reading Challenge discussion

I started with a couple of friends doing a 50 book challenge this year, This was to be 45 from 2020 and the 5 I missed in 2019. I was able to complete that May 12th.--46 fro 2020 and 4 for 2019, leaving 1 to finish from 2019.. In April , I joined a couple of groups and then challenges for those groups. So now I am playing catch up .Through the groups I joined I found that I moved out of my comfort zone in that I read books I normally wouldn't have. but I am happy that I did. Ami Mckay was interesting . I finally read Striking Back , which caught my attention but always stayed away from from. I was also able to finish a book by a friend of mine, Shandi Mitchell. Now I wonder how many by Dec. 31, 2020!
