Best of luck with your reading challenge, Shawny! Did you see the Netflix series The Witcher?
May you have an amazing reading year in 2020, Shawny!

Yesterday, finished The Last Wish. It was an entertaining and good read that I very much enjoyed. But, now with my new endeavor I've decided to take a short break from The Witcher series and started reading The Gown by Jennifer Robinson. Its been sitting on my bookshelf for quite a while. I just read the very first chapter and so far its looking to be something that I will enjoy quite a bit!
Just finished my third book of the year! I am on a roll with having just finished The Gown by Jennifer Robson. I might pick up another one of her books in the future, she has a good grasp on story telling. Now I am hope to start a bit of a challenge and funny read, my friends and I chose a rather strange romance novel and we are going to read it together and have some fun poking fun!
Just started on the sequel to Shanghai Girls by Lisa See, Dreams of Joy. Still on a small break from The Witcher series to keep things fresh. I already have a feeling Dreams of Joy is going to be better than its predecessor.
Currently and heavily involved in reading: Molokai by Alan Brennert. So far its an amazing well researched but heart wrenching tale! I am very much enjoying this one so far!
January was actually quite a good head start in my reading goals this year. I completed three books: Blood Elves, The Last Wish and The Gown. Now into February, I have finished two titles one started at the end of January into the following month: Dreams of Joy and Moloka'i.
Moloka'i so far being my favorite book I've read in 2020. Such a heartfelt and amazingly well researched and written story! I am looking forward to picking up the author Alan Brennert's two other novels Honolulu and Daughter of Moloka'i!
I am now starting on my third book of the month, The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent. So far, so good...after just finishing Moloka'i its now wowing me per say...but I am only about 70 pages in.
I don't foresee my current read taking that long to finish...and I will then be delving back into the Witcher series!
I've heard of the Witcher TV series ... I didn't know it was also a book series. Will have to look into that; from what I heard about the TV show, I think I'd really love the books!

He is a polish author and the books have a very different feel to them having been written in an eastern European point of view.
So far what I've read I very much like and I highly suggest. Start with the Last Wish a compilation of short stories that introduce you to the world of The Witcher and this is also the novel the first season of the show is based!
This is my first time replying to a post on this site. I want to thank you for the info on what book started "Witcher". I'm going to see if I can get it from Goodreads for my Kindle. Thanks, again.

No problem! I am pretty sure there is a Kindle version available. The Last Wish is super properly at the moment due to the Netflix series! Happy reading!
Just finished my sixth book of the year! *cheers* I am pretty proud of myself so far in my challenge, currently four books ahead of my goal of 20! I just finished The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent. Its an amazing raw story on the Salem Witch Trials and the hardships endured by those accused. Kathleen even being a descendant of Martha Carrier.
Now, I told myself I will be moving onto the second book of the Witcher series The Time of Contempt. I hear many people very much like this novel in the series...I just wish I had it with me to start.
Just finished the second book in the Witcher Series: The Time of Contempt. I was really let down by this installment. It was increasingly boring till the very end of the book. I am really hoping the next installment picks up and is a lot more exciting than the previous.
I am again taking a small break from The Witcher and starting on a book that has been sitting on my shelf for quite a while.
Bioshock Rapture by John Shirley. From reviews this book is very well written and interesting. I am looking forward to having some more back story and jumping into one of my favorite ever video game franchises once more through writing.
I am all about magic this year. I hope that your reading goal is your little touch of magic.
