Not to worry, Coralie... every little bit counts :)
I probably won't be reading much either Coralie. Several people at work are sick, so I accepted extra shifts including an evening and night shift.
Mod
Mod
I hope you're taking care of yourself too, Lusie, with all your extra shifts xo
Thank you Tien! I do have a couple of days off after this. College is supposed to start at monday, but still haven't heard anything.I'm glad it's not covid, Tien! Are they feeling better now?
Mod
My school year started last week. Not sure how long we will be in session this year.
Mod
3 days to go for which 2 are weekends so hopefully we can still make our group goal :D

I didn't quite finish Snakes & Ladders (I've got 1 book left which I started this morning) but I did manage to do my Easy level goals.
Tien wrote: "Did anyone manage to meet their goal?I didn't quite finish Snakes & Ladders (I've got 1 book left which I started this morning) but I did manage to do my Easy level goals."
I think I said my goal was just to read some pages, so I technically did :D
i finished bingo and made serious progress on my blind date - both are in progress about halfway done; i read a whole bunch of random books that fit in various prompts (mostly 3/5/6)
I had a slow read-a-thon. Not much time to read. But yes I was able to finish my goals. Which was read 3 books to finish round 2 of snakes and ladders
Mod
I am proud of the fact that I will be able to complete this game. It is rare for me to do. NOW I have to get busy on MM and Series!
That's awesome Bea.I still have 8 books to go before I finish all the prompts
Mod
I finished one book and about half of another book.
Your goal is more ambitious than mine, Tien ;)

Lusie, since my reading has been off (poor concentration, pandemic), I have chosen the easy level in most games. It has helped me have a sense of achievement sorely needed. AND, I am still working on older games.
That's great, Tien! Good luck!I like that plan, Bea. Smart of you to go for an easy goal. That way you can join in the fun without adding extra pressure or stress. I like how you keep working on older games. I had a few that I just walked away from. But now I am only in this group so I can spend all my time on pcik-a-shelf challenges.
