and what nots….
Btw, I deleted all my Twitter accounts. End of an era? I do miss it, but it was no longer the Twitter I knew and loved.
Let’s talk CHALLENGES. I’m looking at the few challenges I worked at in 2022 and picking books from what I read that satisfy as a last ditch effort – I was picky and in doubt about a few but at this stage in the game, WHO CARES!
The What’s in a Name Challenge is COMPLETE:
I’m not bothering to figure out if I posted to the host site (SORRY!) and just enjoying the accomplishment over here in my personal glory/reflection.
Moving on to the question of will I continue in 2023! YES! Yes, of course, and I have a stack of books picked out that will satisfy the new categories but will list more in a dedicated post here in the next few days or weeks.

Classics Club 50 Part 2 – I read a few classics from my lists and some I realized after that the publish date qualifies for this challenge so I will commit, once again, to a dedicated post in the future with what I’ve read so far and how many I have yet to read. Quick glance says I have to read between 20 – 25 by the end of year 2024. I’ll make it. Looking good.

Buddy Reads! Who is in for 2023? The Stephen King Fairy Tales is sure showing up in the publicity marketing machine! Anyone want to commit a date for that in 2023?
or is TOB going to suck up all the reading time and force me to say, “How About April?!”
Which brings me to the Tournament of Books. I am almost half way through the 18 on the short list. I think I’ll make this one, too. HUZZAH!

Well done with the challenges! So you aren’t going to try Mastadon? It’s not the same, but it’s pretty ok.
I just haven’t had the chance to try any other Twitter replacements. Yet?
I deleted my Twitter once Musk took over but I never posted anything, just read stuff. I don’t miss it, and I’m on Instagram enough to make up for it, ha ha!
Well done on challenges! I’ve still got my initial Classics Club challenge to complete. It won’t be in five years, unfortunately. But I’ll get it done eventually. No one is grading me on this right? 😉
Right! and no one is checking that the original 50 is the 50 that you read. 😀
