I know, I only joined this group AND Goodreads at the start of the year and I think this group is a fantastic way to keep track of challenges and there's lots of other great challenges to take part in and enjoy.

Dalynn (dalynnrmc) | 97 comments Thanks Jack! Last year I kind of tapered off by the time spring (and spring fever!) rolled around, but with my Kindle Fire in hand this year I think it will be a better year! (Not to mention there's no moving in store for us this year, and the twins become preschoolers instead of toddlers. So hopefully life itself will be just a little better too. LOL)

I'm joining a few challenges now! Thanks for the wb!

Hi Dalynn, I have joined this group. (As if I don't have enough challenges) I finished a great medieval fantasy recently A Cast of Stones.

I am thinking of looking at the Goodread 100 list.

Dalynn (dalynnrmc) | 97 comments Hello Ms. Retha! I love this group - it's been the best way for me to keep up with what I'm reading over the entire year. Sure was helpful last year!

I think the Goodread 100 challenge is a great one, just because I've already read some on the list and there are a lot on the list which are already on my TBR. That challenge is listed in the yearly challenges section on this group!

Lots of fun stuff - now I just need to get on the ball and read! (Not to mention work on my blog stuff. Goodness things are nuts lately!) Glad to see you here!

Retha (rethagroenewald) I have created a List on Lystopia for Christian Variety that includes books I am reading in 2013 that I gave 4-5 stars for in my reviews
