lists are just to remind you that you DO have books to read lol
Hi Tricia,
Thank you so much for joining the Middle Grade Book Challenge. I hope you'll have fun, and I hope the others will too.
It's ok if your list changes. Just read what you feel like reading. It should be fun and not something strenuous. =)
I'll do my best to send you updates about the challenge every month, and I'll let you know if there is anything else in between.

Congratulations on finishing your challenge and good luck with the 2 new ones!
Great to have you in the RIP Challenge! Thanks for signing up. Jane Eyre really does fit the autumn mood, doesn't it?
One can never go wrong with Jane Eyre!
