Well . . . The worst reading slump I have had since joining Goodreads continues. Almost two months since I have read a page. Just not motivated to crack open a book in a long time. Also, my audiobook reading is down to about 15 minutes a day. Can't tell if this slump is a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe it means life is better than usual so I don't feel the need to escape into the pages?But, I am stopping in to get next months polls up!

On the left hand side of the "My Books" page there is a button for "Find Duplicates". From there it will show you a list of books you have multiple editions for and if you click on "view all my editions" it should give you and easy way to delete the ones you want to.Good luck!

Tek wrote: "Nice. I may grab this when my audible resets."I am going to be listening on Audible as well - I read a physical copy years ago and do most of my rereads on audio now.

I am about 20 pages in (plus the forward, so maybe 30 or so) and this is much more readable than I expected. Maybe there is a challenge coming, but so far pretty good.
Interesting so far - lots of historical narrative so I think that might need to be something you are okay with to enjoy this book.
