Readathon Updates #Tropeathon ~ 11/5/21

Happy Friday! I hope you have all had a great week. I feel like I’ve had a very productive one. I set up a FB group this week for people to buy, sell, and trade books and bookish items – Continental U.S. only (Sorry!), so if any of you are interested, here’s the site ~ https://www.facebook.com/groups/alisbooks4u. I am just getting it set up, so I don’t have a ton of posts up yet, nor have I sent out many invites yet.

Now let’s see what progress I made this week ~

One prompt down, and five more to go!

I’m also participating in Nonfiction November, but I don’t yet have any books read for this one.

Are you participating in any fun readathons, challenges, readalongs, etc. in November or December?

Happy Reading,
