Hey guys, so I'm gonna be busy until roughly the end of Jan, maybe mid of Jan? So yeah. I don't think I'll keep track of the books I've read on GR, but I'll write them down on paper, but most likely before the 2022 year reading challenge is over, I'll update all of my books, and then just go back to jotting them down on pen/paper. Happy Holidays everyone :D

Thanks everyone in group 2 and bonus for the great picks!!! I finished all my picks. See message 13. Happy dance 💃💃💃💃😘

Thank you Jane and my fellow participants. I managed to do at least one book....but often more...from each set nominated. Boy! This helps clear the "To Read" shelf!

No comment on this woeful effort! Not even sure how I didn't even get one additional read in January. Bad planning!

Dang. 3/14 😬

However, the past two months have been tough for me and my family, so I guess I'm not surprised I got 12-14/14. I guess I'm more surprised that I didn't read at least 5-7, but I couldn't find the energy to read 😔 I mean I did, but I was just....not enjoying the books as I might have. Might reread some and see if my opinion changes on the rating, but that's it, I guess. Might take part in April/May, since I don't think I could do Feb/March right now.

But yeah anyways. Thanks, Group 1 for picking great reads! I wish I could have read more!

I managed around 6 of mine, 8 if include ones I read early. But also removed a bunch from my shelves that lost interest in so pretty happy with result 😊

Well done everyone :) the main thing is that you are happy with the books that you DID read 🤗🍾🌹
