Ines, I sympathize. It is hard for me to give up on a book, but I have. Just shake it off. There are so many good books out there.

Started A Most Peculiar Malaysian Murder for Book It

Well, I am now facing some reading that I am really not excited about. I have 2 lost books and 2 others that I have had on my challenges a while. I know that I may even like them once I get to reading, but I can't say that I am excited to get to them. Meh.

The good news is that one I am reading right now will finish up my OLD games! I will be current!!! So exciting.

My current status for 2021 games:
LOST - 5/10 to go with 2 on my desk awaiting reading
Series - 13 to read, according to my plan - one is in progress
MM - 5/12 to go - I own 2, so its a matter of getting to those
TRIM - finished "share the love", monstrosity, and series ~ 4/8 left for "how many"
Book It - finished Jan, Feb & Mar - working on April and May

Starting Butcher's Crossing for PAS PnM.

Started and finished: The May Queen Murders also for PAS PnM (I forgot to post this book when I started it.)

When I complete Butcher's Crossing, I will have completed all OLD PAS games!
