Welcome!

Thank you.

Hi!

I feel much the same. I decided to join the group because I needed a challenge to inspire me to try to read a bit more (after a couple of years of neglecting my reading but unfortunately not neglecting to buy more books that I wouldn't get around to read). I may not make the 75 but it will be fun trying! And I have already surpassed my achievements of previous years which feels good.

So good luck with your reading efforts! I look forward to seeing how you go. That's already a very nice list of books you have there.

Cheers,
Charles
