Birth Year Reading Challenge 2020



Well, I did better in 2019 in reading for J.G.'s Birth Year Reading Challenge than the previous year, but I still have a large number of 1947 books (for my mom's birth year) left to read. So, I'm going to keep pressing on and go for another personal challenge goal of six books for the 2020 edition of the challenge. I hope to do more than that, but if I make six then I will be able to claim the challenge as complete.

1. Silver Wings for Vicki by Helen Wells (2/15/20)
2. Chinese Nightmare by Hugh Pentecost (4/18/20)
3. By Hook or by Crook by Anthony Gilbert (11/21/20)
4. The Whispering Death by Roy Vickers (11/23/20)
5. The Clue of the Runaway Blonde/The Clue of the Hungry Horse by Erle Stanley Gardner (12/28/20)
6. Vicki Finds the Answer by Helen Wells (12/28/20)

Commitment Complete!

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
