Great job, Brenda!

Way to go, Trish. And good luck with the rest of your books. Your chosen words are quite a challenge!

Congratulations to all who have finished their Summer Challenge! Your ideas on books give me some different titles to search for so I will be able to complete my words. Thanks

Congrats to those who have already finished their challenge!

Thanks guys :)

Wow you early birds, that's beyond awesome! Huh, not only am I just on book #2, I actually added another word. 😄 Lots of time to get through the 18 or so...

Haha! Thanks Meg :)

Wow Impressive. I only finished one letter so far. Congrats to those who are already done!

I work from home as a financial research editor, so if my workflow is slow, I get time to read :-)

I just finished my challenge BASEBALL. Congrats to all of those who have finished.
