https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

A little bit sad that I will fail this challenge; I am bound to, I have four left to go and the libray has lost the novel I ha selected for 'O' while I still have not even found an 'X'.

Ah well, can't win all the time?

Keep going until the end of the year Deborah - you never know! It's not over until it's over ;)

Finished this one, *whew*

Well done Jazzy!! Don't forget to post your completed challenges starting January 1st please :)

Finished this challenge at last. Had to do some tweaking when I realised I didn’t have the right number of Aussies!

Veronique, when you repost your completed challenge, click on the 'edit' button and copy the post that way. Then all your updates throughout the year will come across to your new post. Would you mind doing that please? Also for 2022 challenges, if you can give a rating and the date you finished please, that would be great!

Finished my 25th of this Challenge on 30 December, which was:-

Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante

Rated this one as 3* (7/10). My review is here:-

Still one more to go for this Challenge and it's quite a long one so very unlikely I will finish it in time, perhaps a day or so late!

You might do it Kim as it's only the 30th over there!! We have 11 hours to go - good luck!

Finished, with mere hours to spare! And only completed by re-reading two old favourites, but that is ok, they fit in with my personal challenge for 2021 anyway. No reviews yet - maybe next year ;)
