Welcome, Charlene!

Interesting! I'm going to try Tier 2, although Tier 1 has the hardest tasks.

Welcome, Bonny!

LOL, Andrea, I think I spoke too soon! After looking at all the other challenges available this year (wow, so many!), I think I'll actually skip this one and concentrate on some others instead. For instance, the Scavenger TBR 18-month challenge looks like it'll be a better fit for me. Thanks though, and maybe I'll try a pyramid another time!

Not a problem, Bonny. The Scavenger TBR one is a blast. Enjoy!

Welcome, Carole!

Thank you, Andrea. I had to "retire" from doing book reviews & tours because of my husband's health and am enjoying reading at my own pace now. Hoping to be a little more involved here also. I might not complete Tier 3, but should come close.

Writer, I've updated your participant link to redirect to comment #46, where you've started your list.

Just a quick note on #3, for clarification: It's only three books that need to be read for that round. The books must be from a trilogy, not a lengthier series, and it must be 3 books across at least two series.

For example:

Thanks for both ;)

And to clarify #10 - is that looking for a vowel for beginning of either their first or last name?

Yes, absolutely. Examples would be Irene Hannon and Janette Oke.

Just saw this one! I'm in for tier 3 and will add in books already finished since January 1st when I can. Curious what I'll have left to finish. 😊
