It's such a great tradition! I'm glad we both do it. So fun.

Thanks for coming by, Lydia!

Ha ha. This time of year is so busy, we'll see if I can even get 10 read, let alone 30! Wish me luck.

Thanks for stopping by, Davida!

Yay! I'm glad you found some titles to pique your interest. Discovering new-to-me books is my favorite thing about reading book blogs.

Thanks for coming by, Alexandra!

Right? It's been the strangest year! I'm not sad to see it go. I'll need luck to finish all the books I want to before the end of the year :)

Thanks for stopping by!

A CHRISTMAS CAROL is a really fast read, so you definitely have time to squeeze it in. Enjoy!

Thanks for coming by, Maya!

I'll definitely need luck to hit 200! We'll see how it goes.

Thanks for stopping by, Lindsey!

MIDNIGHT IN CHERNOBYL gets really good reviews, so I'm excited to read it. THE BLACKBIRD GIRLS is a great historical middle-grade novel. I enjoyed it. I hope you like it if you read it.

Thanks for coming by, Deanna!

I'm not usually big on fairy tale retellings, but I love Beauty and the Beast and I've been eager to read another Barker novel, so BEAUTY AND THE BARON seems like a perfect fit. I'm glad you enjoyed it so much!

Thanks for stopping by, Ashley!

It sounds light and fun, exactly what I need right now! I hope we both enjoy it :)

Thanks for coming by, Christine!

Yeah, I didn't even try to come up with ten books I wanted to re-read! Too tough for someone who really doesn't like re-reading.

CHRISTMAS DAY IN THE MORNING sounds good, doesn't it? I hope we both enjoy it.

Thanks for stopping by, Anne!

You're not the only one who did quotes today. Maybe it was the original prompt for today and got changed or something? Who knows? Quotes are always fun, though!

Thanks for coming by, Deb!

Thanks! Me, too :)

Thanks for stopping by!

This is my favorite time of year, but it's always crazy, no matter how hard I try to be on top of things. I'll definitely need some luck to get it all done :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

Thanks! I hope I make it to 200, too, although I'm not holding my breath. We'll see.

I am excited to start 2021 with a wedding. My son is marrying a really sweet girl whom we all love, so it will be a joy to have her in the family officially.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

Oh, good, I'm glad your mom enjoyed MIDNIGHT IN CHERNOBYL. I just reserved a copy from my library - I'm excited to read it.

This time of year is always so busy. Add in a wedding and it's busy times 100! The bride's family is doing most of the work, but still ...

Thanks for stopping!

I'm pretty sure I can get ten read before January 1st, but I'm not sure about 20, let alone 30. I do have a number of MG books to read as well as a couple of novellas, so we'll see how it all shakes out.

Thanks for coming by, Jessica!

I'm on the waitlist at my library for MINA LEE. We'll see if I get it before the year ends. I'm interested to see what I think of it.

Good luck with finishing your challenges! I'm so close on mine, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to complete them all - especially the 52 prompt one that I started in the middle of the year. Oops!

Thanks for stopping in, Leslie!

I probably won't get to it this year either, to be honest. It's one I definitely want to get to soon(ish), though. I love Peter May!

Thanks for coming by, Tracy!

Most of my sleep issues have to do with having frozen shoulder. I'm a side sleeper and the condition makes it really hard to get comfortable. Even though I ice it and take ibuprofen before bed, there's still a lot of pain.

I'm impressed that you already have a 2021 shelf going! Good for you. I haven't even thought much about what I'm going to read after January 1. I can't wait to see what you've got in store.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Cath!

The AI/robot has been a hard one for me since I don't read much sci-fi and when I do, it's not usually the kind that has robots and such. I just checked out THE LOOP, so hopefully I can knock that one off my list for PopSugar. Good luck to both of us on finishing our 2020 challenges!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Carla!

November seriously FLEW by. I'm still not quite sure where it went! I hope December moves a little slower - I've still got so much to do before the year ends. Yikes!

Thanks for stopping by, Caroline!

I'm actually in the middle of an audiobook, but I keep forgetting to listen to it. I need to finish it so I can add it to my yearly total!

I should listen to A CHRISTMAS CAROL on audio. Patrick Stewart would be a great narrator. I also just learned that Tim Curry narrates it as well. So fun!

Thanks for coming by, Laurie!

Most of the 30 I read in October were MG novels, many of which I read in a day because they were short, easy reads. Good luck reaching your GR goal!

Thanks for stopping in, Brooke!

I think so, too. I just read a MG novel about the Korean War, but that's about all I've read on the subject. I'd definitely like to know more and I'm always intrigued by stories about children learning about their parents' hidden pasts. I'm headed to my local indie bookstore today, so I'm going to see if they have a copy of it. There are lots of holds on it at my library, unfortunately.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

I'm not a big non-fiction reader as I prefer to read about historical events in novel format. However, sometimes you just want the facts, you know? And the Chernobyl book is getting really good reviews. I think it's going to be an absolutely fascinating read.

I definitely did find some new authors to try from your list! Great topic.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marianne!

Totally understandable. You can learn a lot from historical novels, I do that, as well.

I'm glad you found some books on my list. Looking forward to seeing how you like them.
