Thank you! I clearly didn't look hard enough.

I may be being blind, but I can't see my teams thread. The spreadsheet says I'm in team "Oook" but I can't see one with that name and I have also looked in all the other team's threads for my name...

I just looked on my local library app and they seem to have all of the Discworld books there! Looks like I'll finally get around to delving into the series.

I just signed up! I was a bit reluctant as I wasn't sure if I wanted a break after UNO, but I don't have much to do over the next few months so why not. Team challenges help me read more anyway.
This will be my first time joining in with a Tower Team though.

I have also never read Discworld although it is something I have wanted to start for a while so maybe once that challenge starts will be a good time.

I'm glad to know it's not just me!

My TBR list seems to be going up as opposed to down. It's now about 20 more than when this year started and I have acquired even more books that I have yet to add to my list!

So far I have managed 18 read from my list, but my progress has been hindered slightly by a certain team challange. Once this month is over, I will most likely solely focus on books on my TBR list.
I will get my TBR back under 800!

I managed to get back on track in February. At the start of the month I was just under where I should have been. I have a couple of books on the go that will count for this challenge. I also seem to be making decent progress with getting my physical TBR books read which I am pleased about.

Well done to everyone who has made progress with shrinking their TBR lists or at least getting some of those older books off of there!

I haven't actually started this yet. I was going to start it at the beginning of this month, but got sidetracked with something else. Hopefully I will start it very soon and will be able to catch up.

I have Eragon to read and I've heard mixed reviews on it. Some people seem to think it is amazing, others not so much.

I finished book #8 off my list a bit earlier. was definitely something. In a way I am glad I waited so long to read it because I attempted it about 10 years ago and now I think maybe I was a bit too young and not as literarily knowledgeable as I needed to be. But reading the book fully once was enough.
