Exactly 😄 I've just finished adjusting titles so that there is as little cross over (sharing) of titles across the categories as possible. Right now I'm counting all the categories each book fills, but for just this reason I'm going to wait till the end of the year to actually assign a book to a category, so I can minimize the overlap - it's hard to figure out ahead of time how that will shake out. I think the record goes to one book that would check off four categories! Just realizing that Week 27 is the first week of the 2nd half of the year! Did we already do a mid-year check in and I missed it? I only remember a question about favorite books so far... My 10x10s were: Books over 500 pages - 4 finished, and currently reading 5, 6 and 7 at the same time. Books in Spanish - 4 finished, working on #5 Books in German - 6 finished Science fiction - 11 done already - this was low-hanging fruit! Fantasy and Mythology - 6 finished Translated - 11 done already here too - many of these cross categories, though Non-fiction (not biography or memoir) - 7 finished Biography-or-memoir - 5 finished, working on #6 Books from countries not yet visited in Read-the-World Challenge - 7 finished Books from series I started in a previous year - 9 finished BaW Bingo's doing well; I only have 9/25 squares left. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Sunday we visited Whitby with all it’s Bram Stoker connections. Love your photos! Thank you for sharing. I've heard that England's been having some wonderful weather. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 @mumto2 Thank you for sharing the photos and the info! I have yet to read Dracula, but have it on tap for my spooky read in October. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
