I finished level 1 ... don't remember the date ...late Nov or early Dec ... too busy with moving to go back and calculate points, etc. Y'all have fun!
Just updated my post. I had forgotten the mini-challenges - book and tag count as close as I will get as a couple tags were read more than once due to hurdles.
My last tag was Level 2 68 STEM. I finished 12/5/24.I read a total of 28 tags and completed 3 hurdles. I read 30 books. I also read one book for the Olympic challenge. I finished with a total of 89 points (if I did my math right).
I only read one book I gave 5 stars (Tom Lake), but I am very selfish with 5 stars and rarely give a book 5 stars. I did read several 4+ star books.
I also forgot about the mini-challenges and did not count the hurdles. I changed my totals.

NancyJ (nancyjjj) | 9969 comments ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100 Tags!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I think I just completed my 100th tag, with SF-Masterworks. I still have more tags to read of course. My list of 100 includes many bonus tags for Monumental Monday, Mammoth March, etc. This was my #1 goal for the year.
I didn’t count hurdles, except for the 2 that included a tag for reading an extra book.

Honestly I don't remember if I added the mini challenges at all when I went back midway through the year to make sure my counts were right.
