OK, I've finally taken the plunge and jumped over here, after looking at the group for years! Seeing Kerry, Kathy and Paul's reading lists over in the 2026 Category Challenge group made me decide to join in. I am particularly keen for Paul's The Americas challenge and the British Authors challenge.
I have been on LT for eight or nine years and absolutely love the Category Challenge group. I will probably keep most of my reviews over there, and just keep a list of books read here.
Looking forward to being here!
Oh, and I am Jayne. I live on a small farm in country Victoria, Australia. And I love to read!

New Year greetings from Kuala Lumpur. My project is at least physically completed and an addition to the city scape.
Look forward to keeping up with you in 2026, Jayne.
Welcome to the group and don't be shy to visit where you will. xx

Hi Jayne!
I saw that you're thinking of reading Pied Piper and Everything is Tuberculosis in February. I've already added Pied Piper to the TIOLI wiki in Challenge #7 - where were you thinking of putting Everything is Tuberculosis? I was thinking #8 or #14, but anywhere is fine. I'm looking forward to the shared reads with you!

>8 Dejah_Thoris: I couldn't get hold of Pied Piper so had to change it for an Elizabeth Chadwick book.
At the moment I am thinking #14 for Everything is Tuberculosis as I already have a book in #8 that won't fit anywhere else. I was just waiting to see what other challenges turn up before adding it as I have a few with yellow on the cover.
So #14 at the moment, unless another challenge arrives that it may fit.
I have to be more aware of shared reads, I think! Get those points up.
Edited: I will put it in #14 as I see someone else is already reading it for that prompt. The more, the merrier!
