I like your inspiration at the top!!

Thanks, Anita. :-) Thought I'd start off on an optimistic note.

Lisa Ann, historical fiction is my fifth stair too, and general sweet spot.

So do I!

I've gone for "It Ends With Us" for my contemporary romance book - it was on the top book list for 2016 and looks interesting and well written. I'll let you know how it goes :)

Amy- Historical fiction was my easy pick. The rest were more difficult. I was waiting for the final group shelf to be chosen, so I could figure out what my final #1 and #2 stairs assignments would be.

Kate- I hope the romance book works out okay for you. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts.

Plenty of us live for historical fiction. You are in great company. My sweet spot too. An easy stair five.

I found stair three the hardest to choose. Still don't know if I chose right or well. At least something will be a stretch.

Historical fiction is my favourite too. I should probably have gone for that instead of for comedy. But maybe I can find some comedic historical fiction...

In April, I had to take an extended break from much of my group related activities on Goodreads. Even though it is nearly December, I am glad to have the time to participate again. :-)

Three more books to complete for Contemporary Romance, Europe and Historical Fiction stairs. I think I can ... I think I can. 🚅

You can do it!

You totally can - and have fun doing it! Great to have you back, Lisa xx

Thanks so much, Kate! :-) It is nice to hear from you, too. I'll look forward to reading your upcoming book reviews & comments in PBT.

Thanks for the encouragement, Amy!!

Update: 2 books to go!!!!! One needed for Europe (am thinking Victoria) and one needed for Historical Fiction (maybe The Gift of the Magi).

Awesome - you're way closer than I am!

Done! :-)

Spectacular! If I was close enough, I'd hug you :)

Some good recommendations in the Stairs list too, particularly Atomic Weight, which sounds like exactly my kind of book! I'm glad you enjoyed Charing Cross Road as much as I did - I think I had a ridiculous grin on my face the whole time I was reading it

Oh, you are so sweet, Kate. How about a virtual hug. {{{ }}} :-)

In all fairness, I chose shelves for this challenge that I thought would make things easy, rather than difficult. Plus, I placed Contemporary Romance on stair one, knowing that isn't a favorite genre of mine.

I am glad Atomic Weight sounds like something you would enjoy reading. Maybe it will come in handy for a challenge or monthly tag next year. :-) Either way, I'll look forward to your thoughts on it.

Thank you to all the moderators for creating the Climbing The PBT Stairs Challenge. I had a fun time with it!
