I've added my final book to 2022. I had grand plans to read a bunch over the 10 days i was off but I haven't read a thing. So I'm going to wait for 2023 and enjoy TV, which I rarely watch. Book #35 was Horrorstör. I much preferred this over The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. It was a good one to end the year on.
Happy new year everyone!🎉🎊🎉

I really enjoyed that book, but only as a sort of study in loneliness and the way Owen's wrote the setting. I felt transported and could practically hear and smell and feel that coast. And the loneliness. But the mystery was a letdown. I can't remember if it was a letdown because it wasn't a surprise or because it was out of character. However, I still recommend it for the setting.
I'm in again! I exceeded my goal of 25 last year, so I'll up it to 30 this year. One year i am going to only read old books.(view spoiler)

Brilliant. I hope you like or liked this one too.
So to skip one task we've got to read 4 books (either help or skip)?

Last virgin suggestion is Ashes of the Sun. Pretty decent ya fantasy. It is f/f, though there are also gay and hetero love stories/trysts. It's just the virgin in this is centred around the lesbian romance.

The Lightning-Struck Heart. I'm pretty sure that the mc is a virgin. He definitely gets instructed by the guy he loves about what will happen. This one is m/m, fantasy and funny. I adore this book.

The one about the virgin book writer, it was actually fairly funny.

I loved The Girl with All the Gifts. So much better than the movie, in case you've seen it. It's really well written.
And I Darken was also a decent read. It would've been a great read but it slows halfway through. But still I think worthy of anyone's time.
I finished book #28 And Then There Were None. It was okay. I round it up to three stars. But i am officially done with Agatha Christie. She might've been an influence for many a writer, but I think she's rubbish. I've read the big ones and that's all i need.I also attempted my #29 book A Man Called Ove had to DNF that sucker at 29 pages. I just cannot deal with grumpy old men. I did like the short sentences though. So i might try another Backman.

Picked this one up so many times and then put it aside again without even opening it. Very silly of me, because it turned out to be a very enjoyable read...."
Added to my tbr. Still haven’t started my next Dickens.
Another four books off of my tbr, really good string of books. I also read Pollyanna, which wasn't on my tbr but wanted to mention because i adored her. The writing wasn't brilliant but Pollyanna was adorable. I'm actually glad that I read this in my 40s, because i know that in my cynical childhood and teens Pollyanna would have annoyed me.

Can I sign up for a maze still? If so can I have medium level, please.
Thanks captains for all your hard work.
Thanks for being a brilliant team, even if we didn’t win. I just like to take part. Hopefully see you all in other challenges.

S16 - is covered by my red island house.Sadly, my other book is Pollyanna and I don't think a team member read that. So I'll put S16 next to mine.
