Saar The Book owl’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

Theme/genre sounds fun! But I'm no way near finished my first maze :)

I'm still playing too and it's a lot of fun. I'm just behind on all the updates I need to do.

I'll join, because I'm so curious what the 1001 books can be. I'll update as I go.
I've checked the list and I've read only 9 of them, all before I was a member of Goodreads.

Quick question: a lot of my books are having the same numbers on my TBR - pile. How can I change that? I remember that I didn't do this challenge this year for the same problem.

With my cheeks red of shame I must admit I've failed every year. There just a lot of interesting books coming on my way! But, I'll try again. So, here I go:

I'll start with 5 books per year that I've been adding books to GR. (I've left 2013 out of the list, because I had less than 5 - I've read them already - and between 2014 and 2016 I wasn't that active.)

Grote dromen by Sarah Lark. Finished 11/29/23.

Sorry, I've been sick the whole week, but I'll add my books in the following days.

@Cat: I don't know what GR is doing, but the books were already added to my shelf. I've doubled checked everything and normally it's okay now.
The book 'Bondi vet' seems to be missing some details, but I've added the pages from the edition that I've read to the sheet.

I've completed and added it to the sheet:
- Bondi Vet: De mooiste verhalen van de charmante televisiedierenarts uit Sydney
- Grote dromen

Hm, that's a difficult one, but my guts tell me that it's more blue - ish than grey.

Finished Starter Villain, added it to the sheet and answered the questions.

I don't understand why children's books, middle grade an GN dissapeared. They do matter a lot too!
