WOW! Brilliant start, Carol!
Happy Reading in 2024!

>14 Sergeirocks: Thanks Sergei. It might change some along the way. You know what they say about the best laid plans of mice and men:) Back atcha!

Well, I am suitably impressed, Carol! I love your pics on each month, and looking forward to your reading stats and completions and reviews for 2024 😃

>16 threadnsong: Thank you. L.A. Witt...one of my favorite authors, has so many new additions on Hoopla this month, that I just divided them up over the year, so I would have room for other favorite and new authors.

>17 Carol420: Oh, that's a really good idea. Give yourself time and space to go exploring!

>18 threadnsong: As tempting as it was, I knew if I put them all on one month all the others would be jealous. Nothing worse than an angry book:)

>19 Carol420: That's for sure! And when you have an angry book, the hard stares from your shelves and the guilt come next 😆
