Yay for the schedule! I always love when we find out what we'll be reading the following year. Thanks, Lynn!

Great job Lynn! It is amazing how you get the calendar up so quick. I am excited about a great year of reading.

Amazing job! Thank you, Lynn! I read 4 of the winners prior to the voting, so I'll probably read the others I plan to read when the group does. :)

Such fun! I have them all ready to go

I finished Funny Story on 12/31.

Love that we have a schedule! Thank you!

Nothing like twisting my arm to get me to read an Emily Henry book! 😜
