Nero (Italy/Rome) has been eliminated

Up next Jonathan Teatime (Discworld)

Laila, I hope you don't mind. I removed one of your books as a book I finished worked for the task and it means the monster is vanquished!

Jack the Ripper has been ripped apart!
Next up Fermín Mundaca (Spain/Mexico) (Villains and Pirates wheel)

I think I deleted The Winds of Winter off my TBR last year after having it sit there since 2013. I don't think I have any other yet to be published books on my TBR now.

I finished 2 books that have been on my TBR since 2012. The Lost World and Heart of Darkness. Neither we worth the wait for me. I now have 29 left from 2012, but I doubt I will get through them all this year. Getting it down to 20 will be great though.

Welcome back, Laila!

I've had a slow reading month this month. With Uno about to begin I will be reading a lot more.

#5 was a fairly short book on Audible which I only added last year. It's too short for most challenges so I wanted to get it out the way before Uno beings.

Oh, I know. But by my calculations, I have 28 Discworld books still to read so getting a couple more done before getting distracted by all the books for Uno can't hurt!

#3 quickly follows #2. Added in 2021 along with the rest of the Discworld books. I'm hoping to squeeze in a few more Discworld books before Uno begins.

#2 I wanted to get it done before the end of 2024 but it didn't happen and a busy start to this year means I only just got around to finishing it. I was a free kindle book I added in 2012 and I actually enjoyed it!

Holly Golightly has been defeated

Zheng Yi Sao from China is our new villain!

I should finish my book with a bracelet on the cover either today or tomorrow. It's taken a lot longer than planned but I am very near the end now!

I'm reading them by sub-series and whichever book in each sub-series I can get first from my library app.
Last year I found I was able to use a few for UNO but not really challenges that were more about the book length as they aren't generally very long.

I'm planning on working on some more Discworld books this year. If I them all done, that will probably be about 15-20 off my TBR. I have a couple of other series I want to get through more of this year as well.

My first complete book of the year is Winter Dark which I added in 2023. It's only my first because it is about to leave Audible Plus and it sounded like a book I would enjoy. I enjoyed it overall, but the narration seemed a bit odd to start with, but maybe it was written that way. Lots of short sentences. An interesting story though.

Yay stats!

I love that you put in the previous year for comparison!

As a whole, we are reading more each year!
