And inspiration for me :) Maybe I should read some Thit Jensen for my gothic square :)

Gotisk er det vel lidt med Spøgelseshistorie på heden :)

[Anetq]

Terribly behind on the older books, but I just checked, and it seems the cut off is 1999, so I do have a few on my read list, I'll fill them in above...

[Anetq]

Okay, with a bit of interpretation I'm only 7 short... Maybe I'll make it after all?

[Anetq]

Final score: 22/25 Not too shabby.
Missing these three:
N1: Book From Group’s Old School Classic Shelf prior to 2020
N5: Book From Group’s New School Classic Shelf prior to 2020
G2: The Bigger Read List by English Pen

But: Had fun, and discovered that the library's free app for English Audiobooks held Poe, Chekhov and Jonathan Swift - which made for some nice listening while walking in December :)

[Lynn, New School Classics]

Nice job! I am glad you had fun.
