You can join this challenge any time and use any classics you've read in 2024!

I am so sorry Melanie! Not sure how I missed your post, just like Rosemarie said. It is not a problem and if you can get a past read to fit? all the better!!

I'm really enjoying this challenge. But, I think I was supposed to list all the boxes and then update as I read each challenge. Sorry.

Karen, please feel free to continue as you are doing! The important thing is to have fun!

Rosemarie is right Karen.

Do not worry about the technical part. Just enjoy and let us know what you have accomplished like you did.

I enjoyed this challenge. I expanded my reading "menu" in order to find books that "fit in the box!"

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Karen.

I am glad you found this a good challenge to work on to fit into your reading.
I thought it would be fun to think about making books work into the themes of outside the box.

I finished the challenge of 4 books per month.

That’s great, Rosemarie. Congratulations!

Thank you!

That is really great Rosemarie!! Congratulations

Thank you, Lesle!

I finished the challenge but had to get a little creative with September. I had a book that I didn't even realize was in the classics range. That was a fun challenge, Lesle! Thanks for putting it together.

Pam so happy you could look outside the box to finish the challenge! and as always your more than welcome!

Michelle nothing wrong with that!! Congratulations!

I am thrilled as this was a different challenge and pushed us in different ways!!

So happy that you enjoyed it in your own ways!

I finally updated the books for my Box :)

Annette great job and some nice reads too!!

Lesle, thanks for setting up this very intriguing challenge! Is there going to be another one next year?

I actually was not thinking of doing it.
I did post a new challenge for 2025. You can look at it and decide. If you still want the Box Challenge I can work on it. It would not be a problem.

No problem, Lesle, the other reading challenge looks like fun.

I agree, the other challenge looks like fun!

Good! Just trying to switch it up.
There is also Rafael's Bingo Challenge too dont forget!
