Congratulations on completing the challenge!
Thanks Kathy! I am really happy I finished. A couple months ago I didn’t think I would.
That’s great! Congrats on finishing!
Thanks Yvonne!
Wow, good job! You’re doing reallly well with all your challenges. Keep up the good work.
Yeah! Congrats! See, you did finish after all.
Congrats Teddy!
Kaye and Dar, Thanks!
Nicola, with your suggestion I finished. Thanks!
Teddy: I I’m so glad you took Nicola’s suggestion. Just look at how fun and ecclectic your list is now!
John, me too. Who knew that this “too serious” adult could have so much fun reading children’s books? Now I can’t seem to stop.
Do you know if were at 1000 books yet? I may be able to one or two more in.
Congratulations on completing the challenge!
Good job, I read a number of extras too (23 altogether)but I love good Canadian literature and would have read them even without the challenge. I’ve read Edeet Ravel’s books and the Gargoyle too. I found so many excellent reads for the challenge. I hope you’ll be around for the next Canadian challenge.
Thanks Rebecca!
Sandra, congrat to you too! You read a lot! I will be joining the next one as well, see you there!
