Riveted_Reader_Melissa Great review! I‘m so glad you finished before the holiday too! 6y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Thank you! Yes, now I‘m hoping the ARCs I‘m reading will be funny and/or light. I did decide to bag The Help and count the John Lewis book. So all my challenges are finished. Merry Christmas to me!! 6y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @BarbaraTheBibliophage That‘s a wonderful Christmas gift to yourself! Good for you!!! Maybe we can both read The Help next year! 6y
