Viki's 2023 Series Challenge

The best parts: I read 23 books which is great seeing as I am pretty busier but I am trying to make more time to read. I challenge myself to read 20 books in 2023 and I read more than I thought. So Yay me

Series:

I didn't complete any series in 2023 but I did advance and start new series ( oops). I was hoping to read more books from series I like but I am going to try to more series books in 2024.

I did join too many challenges in 2023 so I am going to try and just do challenges that will help with my series reading.

I also find in 2023 by organizing my bookshelf and see what books I have in series helped me plan my list.

I am hoping to read Kay Hooper, James Patterson and Nora Roberts this year. Good choices to read.

I didn't know that Jennifer Cruise was still writing. I remember reading her books. Enjoy your books this month.

You got some great authors to read this month. Enjoy!

Looks like a great list. Enjoy whatever you read this month.

Haha I realize I wrote Jan 2023 instead of 2024!

I am not sure if I will read all these books this month. Yes some of these books have been on my list for a while now!

Glad to hear that your enjoy this book. My goal is to read more Kay Hooper books next year.

My goals for next year is as follow:

Read two books in Science fiction/Fantasy genre

Here is how I did this year:

Read 10 cozy mysteries
- I read 5 cozy mysteries , hopefully next year I will read more.
Read 20 books
- Read 23 books!
Read 2 non fiction books
- I only read one non fiction book!

I think I did pretty good with my goals.

I am the opposite I like them because there is more suspense in it than romance!

If you guys are going to do buddy reads for the bishop files. I might join it as well. Let me know when you decide.
