I’m currently driving to South Dakota from Washington with my trailer. Once I get there, I’ll get all caught up. Sorry once again for the delay.

That's one of the tricky parts of doing a challenge during the summer. Everyone is always goings places and doing things :)

No worries. Report when you can. Enjoy your trip.

Yes, so sorry to be one of “those” people. My mom passed away so I have to go back to go through her stuff, sell her house, etc. I forgot how it is so difficult to do things on GR with only my phone. 🙃

I'm so sorry to hear that your mom passed away. I lost my mother about 3 years ago. I was her caregiver for those last 5 1/2 months. Goodreads really helped during that tough time. Best of luck dealing with stuff.

We are beginning the 5th week of our Read-A-Palooza and we have more than doubled the original goal. Thanks you so much for helping. Shall we keep going?

We're barely into Week 7 and we've reached 300,000! I'm excited to see what we can accomplish in the next 4 1/2 weeks.

We've passed 400,000 and there's a whole month left for the Read-A-Palooza!!!

Our grand total tonight is 507,259. We have 20 days left of this challenge. Can we reach 550,000 pages?

Only 14 days left 'til the end of this challenge!
