I'm in! I want to read 35 from my tbr shelf which will be about 1/3 of my reading for the year.My tbr is 190, with the long term tbr of 214 (a lot of classics etc or later books in the series that I keep hiding separately). Then there are the paperbacks strewn round the house...

And my gift to you is Fernand Mondego as a new monster to defeat.350 to 450
MC betrays or is betrayed
Stone building on the cover
"""ND"" together in author name"
Set in France, Italy, or on the Mediterranean
I'd be happy with separating them, but let's see if Cat and Sammy have an opinion.Belated happy holidays to you all!
I find this tricky, because in the 2nd set of books set in this world, Malta is so much better. I forget that she starts as a whining, entitled brat.
The 456 have been defeated, but the Gelth have come instead.500 to 650
Title has 5 or more words
Set in Wales, Scotland, or N Ireland
Blue cover (>50%)
Author initials (all) in VICTORIAN
I'd go for one of the bottom 3 as they seem like easier reads for this time of year. I'm feeling fried by life which is probably influencing my choice though!
No problem ladies! Can't keep anything that good to myself.You were being responsible for your team obviously Mel! When wheels finishes you have time to watch again.
Truly excellent song choice to finish on Sammy!
And that's me done! Thanks Snezana and Sammy!
I can cram 2 hours of an audiobook and a 126p novella in today, right? Having both kids while my husband is out and 2 birthday parties to attend will not derail this plan.
JR Ewing has replaced Joffrey.100 to 175
MC has a large family
Set in Texas or a state/country that touches TX
Hat on cover
Author uses initials for first name
Oh no! Sorry Mel that's not the plan
I'm plodding on with some chunksters so in terms of numbers of books it's not looking great, but in terms of page numbers it's looking much better (1508 to come from me by the weekend if all goes to plan...).

Think my husband would like one of those!
Happy birthday to her!Leaving Christmas to start tomorrow makes perfect sense in that case.
We used to struggle a bit because my Mum's birthday was 21st December and she would have liked to leave decorating until then, but we felt it was too late. We did normally manage to hold out for my grandma's birthday on 14th December (she lived with us for about 15 years).
