Whew!!!!!!! I have been working on this for days and days lol I think I finally got it done. Now the problem is getting them all read ☺ This is just a tentative list of what I would like to read but it is subject to change at any time. I doubt that I will get all these read for the challenge but it will be fun to see how much I can get accomplished!
