Works for me :)

[Elinor]

2 books down ! Yay !
But I'm watching NayaReadsAndSmiles's Cruel Prince reading vlog and now I'm all fuck my TBR I want to read THIS BOOK RIGHT NOW

[Elinor]

That may disappoint some, but I've cleaned a tiny bit my currently reading shelf. I only have 60 books on it now. Yeah !

[Siobhan]

Only 60?! I thought I had it bad with 6! (which I've now gotten down to 3, soon to be 4) haha.

[Elinor]

I've officially read as many non-graphic stuff as last year ! Yeah !!

[Elinor]

I'm making a list of books I really really want to read next year. I will get myself a special reward if I read them all (we all know how that goes each time... no reward for me. but yeah. let's wait and see.)
I may change a few things before the end of the year, but let's go.

I Was Born for This
Circe
The Lightning Thief (reread)
The Sea of Monsters (reread)
The Titan's Curse (reread)
The Battle of the Labyrinth (reread)
The Last Olympian
Tower of Dawn
The Raven Boys
The Winner's Crime
Barchester Towers
Guards! Guards!
Obsidio
Wayward Son
La Guerre des Femmes or La Reine Margot
The Eye of the World
Le Prisme noir
Le Roi Magicien
Aloha from Hell
Shadowblack
Elantris

[Elinor]

Finishing up 2019 with 25 rounds completed with 76 non-graphic books ! That's way better than last year, and more than my 70 goal.
I would love to reach 30 rounds in 2020. Let's do this !
Also I'm just going to not earn the not earned books from the previous year. Or I'm not going to succeed. So starting the challenge anew and hoping I'm not going to fail it this year !

[Elinor]

I'm going to do this challenge for the manga as well, because... because. I need to be more reasonable xD

[Navi]

Love your thread title!

[Elinor]

Thanks :)

Wow good job, Elinor! :D I've been reading less since lockdown began stupidly haha.

[Elinor]

Thanks ! I can't even believe I stayed on track with a TBR xD I love making them but I'm so bad at reading what is on the list xD
I have not been reading as much as I had hoped too when you would have told me a few months back "hey you're going to be chilling at home for 2 months without being able to work, go out, see people..." but I'm still super happy with my reading and also I read a ton of really good books. Although I wouldn't say reading else is stupid, it's such a strange time I feel it's kind of normal :)
