I've read 10 of the 20 so far and have a few more sitting waiting on my to-read shelf. I loved: Becoming, Daisy Jones & the Six, The Goldfinch, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Little Fires Everywhere, and Handmaid's Tale. Aiming to get to The Testaments in the next week or so. Can't wait!

Over twenty years and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is still in the top twenty.
I read The Vine Witch but wasn't very impressed. The prose and world were lovely, but chapters often lacked plot-relevant content and the revelations were mundane.
I've read 2, have 10 on my TBR and am not interested in the rest...
I am just finishing off The Testaments, which will make it 12 of 20 read. There are two more on my list of want to reads. A great list!
I've read 10 and one is on my to read shelf. Actually 3 of them are on my to read shelf, but 2 of them will shortly be removed as I started the first one, didn't care for it, so will delete the 2nd.
I’ve read 6 of the 20, 3 on “to read” shelf. Although I loved The Handmaid’s Tale, I might skip the sequel. Don’t like what I’m reading about it.
Is it just me or is this 99% the same list every month...
I read "Becoming" months ago and it was quite touching. Glad to see it on the list.

I'm listening to "Just Above My Head" by James Baldwin. I've read and listened to much of his works, both fiction and non-fiction, but missed this along the way. It's an amazing book
Read two, liked one of those two a lot, but the rest of these have little appeal. Can't win them all.
I've read 2 of the twenty so far and have some of the others on my TBR list.
I have read 8, have 6 on my to-read list, and am currently reading The Testaments and just got City of Girls from Cloud Library. I am also currently reading Wakenhyrst by Michelle Paver and listening to Wanderers by Chuck Wendig.
I dont see, Sally Rooney, which is sad. But going strong Harry!!!
