So many! I feel like I add to my TBR almost every day. Some I've got on my radar for the near future:
Yay, it's Uno time again. I said I was going to take a break from team challenges but there's no way I can resist Uno.It was my first ever team challenge and I've been a team challenge addict ever since. I think this will be my fourth or fifth Uno.
I read pretty much any fiction genre but am not so keen on historical or sci fi (depends on the book though). There are quite a few books I'm looking forward to this year but most anticipated has to be Holy Sister by Mark Lawrence. I read the first two books in the trilogy last year and have been anxiously awaiting the big finale ever since. I think it's gonna be epic.
