Today I finished
for Y- yellow cover. I didn't enjoy it as much as some of Sophie Kinsella's other books but it was still a fun and easy read. 3 stars.
Finished my 23rd book for this challenge:This was a good choice for me as I really enjoyed the characters and humour. Though the cat does not take up much space on the cover, he is a larger than life personality in the book.
C - Read a book with a CAT on the cover:
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman - 4★
Just finished my book about music Greatest Hits by Laura BarnettIt wasn't the right book for me. My 2 and 1/2 star review
Getting to the end of this year-long challenge, crossing off my 23rd title in this alphabetical series of books. It will be a relief and a triumph when I mark off the 26th!P: Author uses a pseudonym -
The Woman in the Window by A.J. Finn 3★s
MaryG2E wrote: "Getting to the end of this year-long challenge, crossing off my 23rd title in this alphabetical series of books. It will be a relief and a triumph when I mark off the 26th!P: Author uses a pseudon..."
You are going well Mary. Same as me with only 3 left to read and still plenty of time.
Well done everyone, you are all doing amazing. It looks like I am unlikely to complete this challenge (I'm not even half way through the books I chose). I've had a lot going on which has meant less reading time this year, and I've kept reading books outside the challenges I've joined. I'll probably carry over the A-Z list into next year since I still want to read all of the books.

Finished book #24! So close to the end now...Sagaland by Richard Fidler and Kari Gislason earned 2.5 ★ from me. It was a nice introduction to Iceland's Saga's & history. Iceland is not a country I have any real previous knowledge of so at times that meant I didn't really have anything to relate the information to in the way I might for British or Australian history. I enjoyed the pace of the book & the person connection of Kari Gislason's life with the characters & contact of the historical backdrop.
