D.L.’s comments from the 2025 Reading Challenge group.

I plan to read the whole series as well. One book at a time lol Glad there will be people to discuss the books with! That makes it so fun.

Just a Suggestion

Not sure what book to start with? How about trying a spell out using the title, series name, or the author's name based on one of the 3 most popular e-readers on the market today: Kindle, Kobo, & Nook.

Example:
N: (title) Northanger Abbey
O: (series) Outlander ~ Dragonfly in Amber
O: (author) Oscar Wilde
K: (author) King, Stephen ~ The Shining

If you're like me, you have accumulated a lot of e-books over the years. It's hard to resist hitting that BUY NOW button and immediately downloading a new read. It's instant gratification, am I right? Plus, there's all those freebies. I can't begin to count the number of free reads I snapped up over the years (Okay, I counted it's something like 1k!!) and now they're pilling up, collecting a lot of virtual dust. I finally realized that I desperately need to pare down my e-book collection and I thought perhaps others may need to as well.

So I propose a challenge: let's clean out those e-readers! To make this a little more challenging, only eBooks that cost less than $1.99 or were free (as I mentioned, I have a ton of those freebies lying around) will be counted for this round.

So let's do this, shall we?

Just checking in. I am looking forward to reading this. I downloaded it on Kindle Unlimited with my free trial. I can't wait to discuss it with everybody! :)

Hi, everyone! I can't wait to discuss this book and series with all of you. This is yet another book I've had on my TBR for years now. I saw the movie of it once called "The Mortal Instruments" with Lily Collins and remember enjoying it, but I hear it's a lot different than the book so we'll see how they compare. :)

Hello, everyone. I look forward to reading and discussing this book. I have had it on my TBR for years!

I am waiting for my copy to come from my digital library and then I'll start reading right away. Thanks to @sarahkat for creating this discussion area for us!
