Hi all! I just wanted to say thank you for initiating this!! Wow. I've been lurking for awhile, watching interesting challenges go by, but never getting involved. Then I saw the ABC challenge. Suddenly, my imagination was utterly sparked. I talked to my friends and we started not only the ABC's on hard mode... but added a wicked twist. A third set of books: ABC by genre. Now, we won't be able to complete it by Dec, 31st 2019, because I only discovered the challenge in June. But regardless of how long it takes, I'm so excited to be doing this! Thanks everyone!!
