Perhaps off-topic, but the font in print books can occasionally be rather small, or otherwise difficult ..."

So true! And while I love the smell of physical books sometimes they are just too clunky (big hard covers)

There are 125 sets, never counted individual books….there are about 5000 titles in my kindle… at least they don’t clutter the house like physical books 😉

Thank you! I did two box sets for my 2021 12+4 and many of these are YA fantasy/ science fiction so they shouldn’t be too taxing on my brain 🙄

Jennifer wrote: "Ok, love your challenge title!"

Thank you Jennifer! Hoping I can keep up with this challenge this year.

Emily wrote: "Wow! Amazing treasure! Good luck, Beth! 🐾"

Thank you Emily. Hoping for treasure but when my kindle was shiny and new ( 10 years ago) I clicked on many questionable freebies! Fingers crossed they are not all duds!
