Are we all that's left in this group? :-(

ETA: It just occurred to me all I do now here is keep track of my Roundtuits. Which, of course, is not really the point of the group.

It appears Brenda abandoned her monthly Islands Challenge after August last year, for some reason. So, yes, it is just us now.
I think a fair few of the former Shelfarians have defected over the years. I also think covid affected the group dynamics when people couldn’t get library books and group discussions therefore couldn’t take place, though these have resumed on the main M&S forum.
For the present, I’m happily trundling out my roundtuits on here, otherwise I won’t have the impetus to keep going with them - and I still have hundreds I want to ‘get round to’.
