I made good progress in the #192025 challenge in March, especially with the 1940's!

Librarybelle Very good progress indeed!! 2y
Sapphire Good job! 2y
kwmg40 @Librarybelle @Sapphire Thanks! I love this challenge; it's a lot of fun looking for books to fill in specific years. 2y
Sapphire @kwmg40 I agree. I have completed 24 of the 106 prompts and found some real gems! I am trying to also read primarily books I already had in my physical TBR first and fill in with library books. I have gotten stuck with Mrs Dalloway though! Fifth business is one I have in my list too. 2y
kwmg40 @Sapphire I hope you enjoy Fifth Business. It‘s a favourite of mine! 2y

Pickpick

This was a low pick for me. The story moved very slowly and I didn't like this one nearly as much as Marsh's other mysteries, but I did love the New Zealand setting.

This was my final book finished yesterday for the #20in4 readathon, and I managed about 12 hours over the 4 days. @Andrew65

“Because I‘m Gaunt‘s secretary I should say that my lips were sealed and stand to one side like a noble-minded dumb-bell while you made yourself miserable over him. I don‘t behave like this because I‘m not such a fool, and also because I‘m falling very deeply in love with you myself. There are Webley and your father…so we can‘t pursue this conversation. Go back into the house. I love you. Put that on your needles and knit it.” 😳😂
