Hello my fellow readers!

[keli]

I want to apologize for us being MIA for the majority of the summer. Work and home life were extremely busy for the three of us. I hope everyone has read lots and lots of books this summer and are picking good ones for the fall and winter. We do still plan on having the drawing for the $25 amazon gift card for anyone who covers their entire card.

I wouldn't worry. I think most of us have been busy filling our card. Sometimes more than once!

Awesome!!

Hello! *waves*

I'm fairly certain I won't complete the alphabet book challenge this year, but I've made it into double figures for number of books read in 2022, which is a vast improvement on last year, so I'm calling it a win!

Oh, while I think of it, I have a question about the alphabet challenge. I read a book with the title 2042: The Great Cataclysm. Does that count to fill the letter G? Would you just ignore the number at the start and go with the first letter of the first actual word (excluding 'the')? Or should I use one of the wild cards for it?

[keli]

That is amazing that you've read so much so that is definitely a win!!

Yes I would count it as G since we didn't make an rules for books that start with numbers! *g*

It's all good, life happens frequently. :)

I need to update my card and see where I'm at.

Life really does! I kinda needed a bit of a social media break too but it's a shame when that happens because I lose touch with all of you!

[asphaltcowgrrl]

YES. Social media is such a drain on us emotionally. But it's all good. You're here and we're all hanging in there. :)

I need to update my card, but feeling quite confident about finishing - I'm almost done with X, which was going to be the hardest, so that is progress. (Thankful for Sue Grafton.)

Great job!!

Hope things are calming down for you now.

FYI - I'm starting Let's Get Healthy Round 2 tomorrow and will be posting about it either then or on Sunday. Going to do updates on Sundays this time around. Hope to see you!

They are calming down thankfully!! Ohhhh how ironic... my friend and I are restarting our exercise program on Monday. Woot!! I swear you and I are on the same time frame. I did gain 10 back so I really really need to get serious again. I'll be there!
