Sounds good. :)

The book I'm currently reading will work for humor or classics. After that, I can read for mystery (H8) and I think I can read 2 YA (B4 and G8).

I found a book with a mobile phone on the cover among all the ebooks on my Kindle. (I'm forever picking up freebies!) It's by R.V. Doon.

I'm the same way, Elinaly. I'm not seeing anything that I want to read that's on that list. I'm open to any suggestions!

That Tracking Goals sheet is very helpful. Thanks, Poongothai!

I'm also reading The Cruelest Month by Louise Penny for A2.
