Hi Danah. Same here. I’ll be posting soon!!

Did you forget about me or not done pairing yet?

I’m in. Dabbling free rein from my TBR

I go by Lynnette. I read/listen to 3-5 books a month. I’m on the quieter side

I'm good with either!!

So Michelle, as predicted I couldn't get it all done. I tried, but I think I join too many of these things and I really just don't read that fast, but 5/8 isn't bad.

I'm super proud of you though, you go girl. In case you want to read something really quickly to get the challenge above 👆 done. I'm from Boston. Where are you from?

For Kathy I choose The Drunken Botanist

I’d like to participate this is a great idea!!

Completion Post Letter H


So this book was cute. I gave it three stars for the representation that was front and center in the book with the diversity of characters and how it touched on the craziness of our current world. But it was predictable in the way so many romance novels are.

Completion Post Letter E


So...I listened to this book on my commute. I highly discourage it. It is not the kind of book that one should listen to. It is the kind of book that you should borrow from a friend or the library and flip through. There are some good nuggets of advice in there, but it is super repetitive and mostly seems to be written for gen Z. There are some worthwhile platitudes, but not much I haven't heard before. I gave it 2 stars. I think 1 star is disrespectful because it's hard to write a book, as the author points out over and over and over again. If you're the advice/self help kind of person, you'll enjoy, otherwise I think you might skip this one.

I’ve been working like a mad woman to get 8+ other books read fir a single challenge that ends this mont. I’m afraid Quiet didn’t fit in.
