Hooked on Books discussion

Welcome friends!!!! I am super excited for this challenge and make new friends and learn about one another.

Challenge runs Jan 1 to Feb 28th.

Here you can keep track of all the books you will read. When you are done with your name please go to the Check in thread and let me know that you have finished. That way you can start on your bonus tasks.

Once both people are finished with the others name you will be given bonus ice breaker questions that will be turned into tasks. So you can learn about each other and have a good time with it. If you have any questions please go the Q & A Thread

Hi Emeli,
Excited to get to know you and get our game started once January 1 rolls around!

A quick introduction:
I live near Richmond, Virginia. I am a retired elementary school counselor. My husband and I have been together for 47 years. We have 3 children and 6 grandchildren with a 7th due at the end of January. We also have one granddog. I love to read and often times have a few books going at the same time; usually one ebook, one audio and one hardback from our library.

Posting here for the 5 books I'm going to read for your name:

E- Ella Minnow Pea -Read 1/1/2023; 208pgs

Good to hear from you! We visited and biked through some of your beautiful country in 2017. I love my Kindle too!

My E book and L book work perfectly for my Turf Wars challenge that also starts Jan 1, so your name is working out great!

Congrats on finishing your first book! Hope you liked it. I really liked my first two choices. Nice to start the year with two 4 star reads. I rarely give 5 stars...porobably only 3-4 times/year.

Emeli, I just finished Remarkably Bright Creatures. It was sooo good! I highly recommend it!

Hey Emeli,
Just touching base to see how you're doing! My final book for your name spelling keeps getting moved back to read others for challenges, but I hope to get it read in the next few weeks.
Happy reading to you too!

Just saw that this challenge ended. Looks like neither one of us got our last letter checked off, but it was nice playing with you.
