Well, I really like tomes of 500+ pages and sometimes it takes me ages to finish them, but mostly not.So, let's go crazy in 2024 again! I've read 3 tomes in 2023, so I'm sure I can read more than that this year.
That's an interesting list, John. Numbers 4 and 10 are also on my TBR - pile. I 'stole' numbers 12 and your +4 from the list ;)

Well, 2023 was not a really great year for this and other challenges. I only managed to finish 1 of this challenge and then completely forgotten about it. So, I'll copy my list and add 1 extra book to replace the one I've finished this year.
Thanks, Bill :)
The first finished tome is a fact!
A couple are on my TBR - pile. I hope you will enjoy your choices.
You have an interesting list, John, I might drop by from time to time to read your thoughts about the books.I've read The Road and Just Kids. Great books that will stick by my side. Patty Smith wrote some interesting sentences in Just Kids that makes you wonder about them and some you'll never forget.
Thank's everyone! I can't wait to start :)
New and shine reads are always more interesting than the ones we already have :D We just want more books!
Feel free to 'steel' the challeng from my thread ;) It has indeed a lot of variety, so most of the books can fit. You don't need to play level by level, you can jump around a bit, but I think instead I'll try to do the levels in order.
Well, I really like tomes of 500+ pages and sometimes it takes me ages to finish them, but mostly not.So, let's go crazy in 2023 again, but not like this year, as I come to think, I haven't read any 500+ and I was planning on reading some. Shame on me, haha.
