Hi Margie,

You have read 37 and I have read 44 all from the same list. Yet, the only book we have in common this year is The House of the Spirits.

Kinda cool

Hi Sean - yes, it's a long list! My list largely reflects my annual goals to read more books from the 1980s and also books set in places outside US/UK. I enjoy following the booktube 'Victober' challenge so next month's reads will be largely Victorian.

I am sorry but I am withdrawing from this challenge. I am really struggling this year with reading slumps and despite my goal being so low it's been stressing me too much.

I liked it but it was somewhat tedious at times. I gave it 3 stars.
