Correct. Any order will do.

Cool, Joanna.

I haven't read book 3 either yet, Bea. Would you like to do buddy read for it? Maybe next year?"

Yes, Lusie...I would love to do a Buddy Read.

Welcome, Meg. Jump right in wherever you like.

Tien wrote: "hey, Meg, all of those books definitely fit the bill :)
The last 2 send chills down my spine! I hope you enjoy them lol"

I know, right? And, yet I added them to my Wishlist. Go figure!

Tien wrote: "DID YOU SEEE???!!!

A Title and a PUB date for book 4 in the series!

The Rhythm of War (The Stormlight Archive #4) for Nov 2020

Keeping all my fingers & toes crossed ;)"

Gosh, I need to slot in Book #3 then.

@ Kate: you can change selections at any time, as long as you are using the oldest ones on your To Be Read list rather than newer books. Those will come into play when the next LOST part opens.

@ Carrie: Yes, you can add your books whenever you start the challenge.

Dree, you are linked.
