Finally assessment:
Though I love this game, I find I didn't commit as much energy as I could to it. Being a mood reader, once I set a book it is almost a guarantee that it won't be read. BUT, I also picked slower and more time consuming reads as well. I would still love to play these games but I need to think of a way to make it work better for me.

In 2022, this won't be offered due to low interest. I think I will stick to the monthly challenges so keep me interested.

Thank you to the moderators and creator who worked hard to make these boards possible.
