I'm enjoying them but perhaps not as much as the Riyria Revelations. I have 2 books left in the series."
My eye keeps heading toward the series. I keep withdrawing because of the commitment to the series. I soooo liked the Riyria Revelations and Sullivan....I should just take the plunge.

Audiobooks:
Everything I Never Told You - The Syndicate
Black House - Group themed read
The Book of Koli - new release, TT
Dragon Haven - buddy read, TT
The Book of Obeah - oldest TBR
Print Books:
The Long Walk: The True Story of a Trek to Freedom, TT (and hopefully earns me badge 3)
Washington Black - Monthly challenge
One Corpse Too Many - TT
The Child Thief - TT
We, the Drowned - Oldest TBR and has been punted over for 3 months running

At least you can bring yourself to write them down. ;o)
I just keep looking at all of the titles and nothing is calling to me.

Out of curiosity I had to look up your two "oldest TBR".
The Book of Obeah is not available to me from any of my free sources.
We, the Drowned, however, is in audio! It's a DOORSTOP. Rusulka gave it high praise and 4 stars. I've added it. Trusting in Rusulka! Maybe I can come back with some supportive comments.☺







September Plans:
√ Too Much and Never Enough
Reviews:
√ Deadly Waters
√ Anxious People
√ Don't Look for Me
√ The Coast-to-Coast Murders
√ The Shadows
RL book clubs:
√ Unbroken
September challenge:
√ Does This Baby Make Me Look Straight?: Confessions of a Gay Dad
September theme:
√ The Lake House
And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer


It's nice to not have a plan sometimes, especially if you're a mood reader.

That's a respectable list!☺

What do you think?
I'd rather read Bloody Jacky Faber books by L.A. Meyer!

It's narrated by Thandie Newton. So far, I'm really enjoying her performance. I'm enjoying the audiobook more than the print edition.

What do you think?
I'd rather read Bloody Jacky Faber books by L.A. Meyer!"
I might abandon it. I've read through the first very long chapter (Kindle estimates the 1st chapter to be one hour long.) I'm not in the mood for it.
I should pick up the next Bloody Jacky Faber book. It's been a while since I've read any of her misadventures.

Audiobooks:
Blood of Dragons, buddy read Dec 5/6
Troubled Blood, new release
Farthing, TBR
Book/eBook:
Three Parts Dead, group themed
Mexican Gothic, monthly challenge
The Price of Paradise, TT
Remember Us: My Journey from the Shtetl Through the Holocaust, Syndicate

I use the HTML code word, "blockquote"
Just bracket it with the same "<" and "/>" as you use for spoilers.
The more you repeat the code in front of your text, the further the indentation. Don't forget to close the code with an equal amount of "/>"
I use it a lot....but if I don't type equal open and close symbols, I can get pretty confused as to why my text goes all wonky!

Ha! Just looked under the "some html is ok", and it's there.
