  5. Thanks for always doing this! I forgot you kept it going - it's such an amazing resource.

    I'm hosting the European Reading Challenge again on Rose City Reader. This is the 9th year for the challenge. It makes a good crossover with other "read the globe" and "read in translation" challenges. Here's the link to the sign up page with more information: https://www.rosecityreader.com/p/2021-european-reading-challenge.html

    Thanks for sharing!

  6. Hi there! I saw that my reading challenge was listed online on a great big spreadsheet filled with reading challenges, in two places actually, here and on a Facebook group called 'Sleep Less, Read More' (where the spreadsheet is found), but that it was credited to someone else! I just wanted to give the correct link, which is (https://fanfic-reading-challenge.tumblr.com/) for the site as a whole, though it's a side-blog to my main, which is @juuls on Tumblr. The direct link to the challenge post is this: (https://fanfic-reading-challenge.tumblr.com/post/639119297488306176/the-2021-fanfic-reading-challenge-is-now-live) and as you can see, I sign it with 'Juulna' which is my writing pen name as well as part of my Blogger sign-in email (juulna.writes). juuls=juulna. And yeah, haha, I had the name before the vape pen came along. xD

    But I think what happened is someone just shared their reblog of it or a reblog that crossed their dash, which would have put the other person's blog name in the 'title space' for the website window. If that makes any sense to you? I'm not sure who is and isn't familiar with Tumblr these days.

    Anyway! It's no big deal, and I'm totally sticking around for all the other awesome book challenge reads and bingos and more that you have here, but I wanted to bring this up with you before anything else. I'll be leaving a comment in the DMs of the Facebook group manager right now as well, and then heading to sleep; I'm long overdue.

    If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them, of course! Like I mentioned, it's not a huge deal, but we do take proper accreditation pretty seriously on Tumblr and in Fic circles when and where we can.

    Thanks so much for your time. Take care, and all the best to you and yours!
