thank you for your compassion and generosity, sir!
When I saw your update, I remembered having seen your recent update for Prince of Thorns which has been on my TBRs.
So, of course, I had to go check the book's page again and wonder if I can just kip that trilogy and start from The Red Queen's War trilogy instead I completely forgot all about your garuda.
How is Prince of Thorns?

Book #28 - Quick & Dirty by Stuart Woods - Pg. 317
Total pages = 10,810 of 14,000
Don't believe I'm going to make my total page goal, but I did surpass my books read goal. I lost a lot of reading time during the early stages of this COVID-19 mess. Most of my focus was on learning everything I and my teammates could about it and then helping supply all of our sites, especially those I am responsible for, the proper guidelines to keep everyone as safe as possible. We have had no major outbreaks and managed to continue operations throughout this pandemic, so I will take a loss of pages read..."
@Barry
Considering all you and your teammates have accomplished since the COVID-19 outbreak, falling only slightly short of a reading challenge goal is a mere trifle. I'm sure your community appreciates all you've done for their welfare.
Congrats on reaching your Goodreads book goal!

Complete!!!! Yippee!"
@Fran
Way to go! Just in time to start preparing for 2021! :D
