Well done everyone for sticking with it, however close to the goal you got! The unfortunate question is how many were added to your tbr to replace them?!

I need to do a cull of those I can't easily get hold of and am not interested enough to pay for. There's a lot on mine that I suspect I'd struggle to have enthusiasm for even if they were free as well.

How's that for making a thoughtful decision?"

Best way to decide.

Before moving on with the maze, you should replace the books that don't work in your SKIP. Then carry on as normal.

I love this whole world. They are among my favourite books.

I'd say you can read this trilogy or the one starting with Assassin's Apprentice first without a problem. They are set in the same world and there are a few links between them, but they are tenuous. I wouldn't go further than the first 2 trilogies without following Robin's order.

I'd be using that as well.

Personal preference! Some people wouldn't allow themselves to use it, others would say it's a reasonable substitution. Where this is an individual challenge, I'm ok with a more generous interpretation of the prompts.

I've said I'll read anything that I haven't already read basically (so long as I can get hold of it...). No particular favourites but a good variety there.

Bit more looking round and it's now sorted

It hasn't got the button to switch which edition you are marked as reading on my phone.

With the new book pages I can't work out how to change the default edition to the one I've actually read. The link on the SS is to the correct edition of

Very much unhelpful with the arcs.

I think I either need to focus on books for the tasks here are getting better at skipping stuff. Moving v slowly.

Feel better MelM!

Hope everyone is enjoying the books they've picked for this week. I'm getting back into my reading groove after 6 months of struggling which is lovely.

Just an N and L in the first spell out left! We've made a great start on the second one as well.

Next week's is much shorter so should be easier to finish off.
