Good luck Marianne! Great personal challenge :)

[Leonie]

Looks like lots of fun!

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

Should be great fun Marianne if they are good stories :)

[Carolyn]

Great challenge Marianne!

[Kathryn]

Good luck, Marianne - hope you get some finished...!!

[Veronica ⭐️]

I love a good series although they add a whole pile to your tbr.
Good Luck! I'll be following you :)

[Marianne]

Leonie wrote: "Looks like lots of fun!"

Leonie, I have yours on Kindle, tried to read them as my bedtime read but found that 1. I was too tired to concentrate and 2. I really needed to read in bigger bites, so it's there in my challenge, I just tend to forget kindle books because they're not physical things right in front of me.

[Sharon]

Great challenge Marianne. Good luck :)

That's no worries, Marianne :)

I'm liking the look of a lot of your list though! I may have to add a few of them to my own TBR.

[Marianne]

All sitting there in my TBR room or on my kindle. Just have to slot them in and avoid the temptation of new books/library books/recommendations from GR friends, LOL!

[Carolyn]

That's the hard part, isn't it Marianne? Squeezing the books you already own into challenges and not being distracted by all the lovely new books!

[Leonie]

Avoiding the temptations of new books? Is that actually possible? ;)

[Brenda, Aussie Authors Queen]

Not for the likes of us Leonie!!

I'm very picky on challenges: if they fit in with my own TBR scheme, then fine, but otherwise I just ignore...... but yes, new books are impossible to avoid, and even new-to-me books, as evidenced by my weekly book whisperer purchases, LOL

[Jülie ☼♄ ]

It's looking MAMMOTH Marianne ... Good Luck! :D
