I love Stephen Lawhead's Arthurian series. I think Taliesin may be my favorite.

Updated January list, I picked The Railwayman's Wife by Ashley Hay so now I'm all ready to start this challenge

[Saje]

I was thinking for march that I would read, Ugly, my memoir, and I am Malala.

Thanks for the suggestions Saje, Ugly, my memoir is now on my (ever-growing) to read list

[Saje]

Same, I have so many books to read that I don't know how to it this all in. And next year ill be in year seven so it'll be even harder!! Haha.

Finished The Seamstress by Frances de Pontes Peebles, great read, I gave it 4 stars

[Overbooked ✎]

I just finished Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, although I would recommend only for adult audience, it's a brilliant read, I gave it 5 stars. So even if it is a little bit ahead of time, I started Taliesin for the February challenge.

February looks like an intense months, I'm planning to read:
The count of montecristo and perhaps
Northanger Abbey to increase my Classics' tally.

The Complete Grimm's Fairy Tales is also part of my February challenge

and they are all big books :-)

Finished Taliesin, 3 stars for me, now I'm on Grimm's fairy tales and the Count of Montecristo :-)

[Overbooked ✎]

Just finished the Count of montecristo, which was one of the long standing books forever on my to-read list. I'm happy that I read the unabridged version. I really liked the story, but strangely I ended up disliking the characters, still it receives 4 stars from me
