So funny! The interview with Santa's lawyer in particular tested my bladder control! 😆"

Sounds like real fun!!

Of course I HAD to put it on my TBR.... 🤭

I already have 3 more books of his on my TBR. 😉

#2 by Dan Jones, 4,5 stars

This has been my 3rd book by this author and I've loved all of them so far, so I guess he's becoming a favourite. 😊

In that case, Martin Luther stays. :)

😆

I loved it as a kid and last year I read it to my son, he also liked it. 😊

I guess Martin Luther is as strong a character as it gets, but He'll keep, Sophie/Sammy if someone in your book fits the description. :)

Yaaay! Team❤️Work

Sorry, it's

The Hiver (again)

1. 500 to 650
2. Person wearing a cloak or cape on the cover
3. MPG Travel
4. word BOREDOM in text
5. features a powerful character (your interpretation)

Finally finished off the last monster on the 201-250 tab!! New monster incoming.

At the start of the year I had 169 books on my TBR shelf including 82 that I have on my special shelf "To-Read-Books-Owned".

I have committed to read 40 books (will see if I can upgrade as I move along or not) and my personal goal would be to read at least 25 books from the ones I already own.

As I was erratic in updating my GR TBR, the date-added stuff is a bit misleading, so I won't really follow that.

4 stars for the story, 5 stars for the excellent narration

Me??... not at all!!🤭

Absolutely not

I think we can let you get away with that one . Just sit for sixty seconds at ..."

🤣

I'm sure I have such books on my tbr... just need to get to them... :D

Found 2 audiobooks that fit. :)

😅

Caprice and Rondo fits task 5 featuring a renaissance painter.

Sammy,

I see that The Corrections also fits the page count for the Dragon Queen.

You could move it there and have that one finished off.

I'm only at 35% of Caprice and Rondo. I'm sure it'll fit somewhere else later.

I read 105 audiobooks altogether from the 192 books I read this year. I need to go through my annual reading list to make the final overview, but I have 2 new favourite narrators for sure: John Banks for the House of Niccolò series by Dorothy Dunnett and Jonathan Cecil for Wodehouse's Uncle Fred books. 🥰
