Most of these were OK 3-star reads but one was a 2.
Just realised I completed my 120 book challenge - I had meant to bump it up again but passed without realising. Books read for this year now stand at 131 (though 2 of those were added to document the names of the 2 shorter works making up Merlin's Godson, so actually 129.
Congratulations on exceeding your challenge, you can edit it anytime, even if you've hit it
Oh thanks for letting me know that Desley - thought it was set in stone once it was completed.
Read book 3 in the Noughts and Crosses series by Majorie Blackman, Checkmate and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3090697596. Thought this was better than the first two.

Enjoyed book 2 of Den Patrick's series, The Boy who Wept Blood, and reviewed it - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2639528434.
Amended my challenge to read 130 books - I've read 134 and probably won't get any more finished this year with other things going on.
Thats impressive, what are you thinking for next year?
Desley (Cat fosterer) wrote: "Thats impressive, what are you thinking for next year?"I don't want to tempt fate as the last time I picked 150 as my target (which I had done OK twice before on a 100 book challenge) I only managed 115 so I think I'm going to try 100 to start with and up it as I go along.
Finally managed to review the last book I read in 2019 - Other Dimensions volume 2 by Clark Ashton Smith - reviewed here - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2998994965
