Kristel's Reading 75 in 2023, 4th quarter

I am starting my fourth quarter thread a couple days early as I am leaving on a trip with some friends and won't be having easy access.
A half a year has gone by. I made 75 books in June.

I've been a part of 75 Books Challenge since 2018. I am a recent widow (2 years now), retired, and a lover of lists and books. I try to read 1001 books, Pulitzer, Booker, SFF, and horror and participate in various challenges here and there. I am on GR and moderate the group Reading 1001. I also am on Litsy and enjoy Bookspin, Double Spin and Bookspin Bingo. I spend time in Florida and Minnesota but mostly Minnesota which is where my family resides.

I also enjoy Wordle, Antiwordle, and Quordle and Connections

2023



I also have been working at reading 1001 books which really is more than 1001 books now. I started running a group on Shelfari before Amazon took them down. We then migrated to Goodreads which unfortunately is badly neglected by Amazon as well. Our group is Reading 1001.

Here's my ticker for 1001 books. It's probably not accurate but close enough.
