One summer.
Three months.
93 Days.
20 books.
I really didn’t think I’d get it done on time after seeing where I was in July. But here I am with almost 27 hours to go and I’ve finished the 20 Books for Summer Challenge for 2021. After a June that was less-than-productive (well, okay, I read nothing), and a July that got me less than halfway home, I expected I was going to have to fudge things like last year by going with Labor Day as a cutoff. But nope, I pulled off an according-to-Hoyle completion.
20 books down, cleared off a lot from my Mt. TBR (including things I bought in 2018!), not a stinker in the bunch (two of them flirted with it, though)—and a nice, warm sense of accomplishment to boot. Now, that’s books read, not posted about. I guess that’s my challenge for September, I think I have ten of them done, however, so it’s not that daunting.
Here’s the list:

Congratulations!

Thanks! It’s a silly achievement, and all about my ego, but hey…an achievement is an achievement, right?

How did you create the final pix?
HCNewton
ugh…don’t ask. Last year, I used a nifty online collage maker. This year, to use more than 6 images it (and every other I can find) they wanted money. So, I and my almost non-existent image editing skills spent an hour or two with GIMP and a lot of trial and error to come close to replicating the image I slapped together in 5 minutes last year.
