Got it! Chocolate is a theme?
Okay, then I'd like to try for The Count of Monte Cristo and would like to confirm it since it's listed in the main one. I am still going to look for others that might be shorter, but am also waiting for more categories (such as the 10 point ones; I know some won't be picked until June) so I can figure out what else I'm going to try to read.

It's *very* good and it reads much more quickly than it's page length would indicate.

I started the audible a couple of years ago but didn't make it even half way before we had a computer glitch so I lost my place (and I really was enjoying it), I think I'll read it in print this time so that can't happen to me again.

I really enjoyed this on audiobook last year. I hope you like it :)
And one more! Can you tell I'm in planning mode tonight? :PJonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is #10 on https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/2...

Yes, and some nice combos for that one!
I haven't quite decided if I'm ready for another 1000+ page book yet after The Count of Monte Cristo, but the combos are definitely tempting me!
Last one (for now at least!)A Man Called Ove is #7 on this list: https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5...

Yes! I love the planning, too!
I think I'm done now, unless I get some midseason boredom and decide to make changes. Or unless something major comes along with 20.7 that means I need to adjust :P

I'm sure I will! I found a very good used copy a couple of years ago, and it's been patiently waiting it's turn! :)
