Enjoy Your Day at the ...
Duration: 1/1/2023 - 12/31/2023

Progress: 21 out of 21

As I was browsing the internet looking for ideas for a yearlong challenge, I saw the word "spa", and thought that might make an interesting reading challenge. But as I was typing in "a day at the s...", the browser filled in alternate words for 'spa' that I hadn't even considered.

And then I typed in "a day at the a..." and "a day at the b..." and so on down the alphabet. When it was Q's turn, the browser suggested aquarium. Weird.

And so, a reading challenge was born. Enjoy your day at the...
You'll notice that certain letters of the alphabet are missing from the list.
The browser had no suggestion for that letter, so I left it off.

Duration: 1 year
No page limit.
You can go to as many places as you want as often as you'd like. This challenge is all about relaxation and enjoyment.

Enjoy your day...

Woohoo! Only took me until August! Thanks for the wonderful challenge, and good luck to everybody still working on it. ^_^

Done on post #9
Completed 19 tasks - don't listen to audio books due to hearing aids and didn't have time to find a "fun" book.

Thanks for another fun challenge.

Finished this one up. Took awhile to get that last one done! This was a great challenge - thank-you!
