36119 I found this series whilst browsing my various digital accounts
https://www.goodreads.com/series/3593...

Most books were only 96pages, but a couple were more.

36119 I have 3 plans, and I am wondering, if I have them clearly identified can I read simultaneously? It’s just, every plan includes one book that is part of a serious that I plan to read in the main challenge, always the first one, so I am making it hard for myself…

Although, I am planning 3 books for each books, so I have a way around it, I am just trying to maximise my style points 😉
