November is often a busy time of year as people prepare for various religious celebrations & Thanksgiving in the US. At the same time we try to complete some annual challenges in our ŷ������ groups. So our theme for November is a month of catching up, with an optional spell-out for those who want a new challenge. Read the books you want to add to existing challenges in any of your groups - but obviously choose classics if possible.

Already finished all of your challenges? Read some classic books or short stories for a spell-out. Suggested words are NOVEMBER or THANKSGIVING - but just read books for at least one of the letters unless you have a lot of time to spare!

No template this time - please just tell us what you plan to read & complete as much or as little as you want.

Please wait for Jazzy to post��

I have nothing against non-vegan, vegetarians, but farmed turkeys are the most mistreated animals on the planet.
