21 out of 25 isn't bad at all, so I'm not going to be too hard on myself for not finishing my own challenge. Ha ha.
For the one of you who asked, no, I will not be bringing the challenge back next year. I wasn't a very good hostess this year and I've got other projects to focus on in 2022. We'll see what happens in 2023!
For the two other participants in the challenge, here's a final Linky to use for posting any reviews or wrap-up posts related to the challenge. Thanks again for hanging in there with me. I appreciate the support! Oh, and if you did finish the challenge and I owe you a book, please let me know.

Comments make me feel special, so go crazy! Just keep it clean and civil. Feel free to speak your mind (I always do), but be aware that I will delete any offensive comments.
P.S.: Don't panic if your comment doesn't show up right away. I have to approve each one before it posts to prevent spam. It's annoying, but it works!

I think finishing 21/15 categories is awesome. Good for you! :)
ReplyDeleteI did pretty well, too, but will confess that I counted a couple books for more than one category. Oops! Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteWow, excellent job! 20 out of 25 is AMAZING.
