Yes, this year I am going to surpass my limits. There is no other way forward. I have totally 17 novels[hard copies in my bookshelf, will knock them all down soon.]

For the Q,X,Y,Z i'll have to hunt on google for it. I do recall that in the A-Z Challenge list details, there were some exceptions so :)

There are many. Like mangafox, mangareader. Over time I keep changing because they start charging or ask me to do a survey and what not. Some sites have too many ads :)

[Leena]

For Q I suggest Quo Vadis. I have never read it, but it talks about ancient Rome so it must be interesting!
:D

For Z maybe something with Zorro: Zorro or Zorro's Shadow: How a Mexican Legend Became America's First Superhero.

For Y something with "youth"?
For X maybe something about Malcolm X?

[Leena]

actually quite a few books on Y. 1. You
2. You don't own me by Mary Higgins Clarke- I wasn't very impressed with this one
3. You don't want to knwo by Lisa Jackson.
4. The Yiddish Policeman 's Union. This is on my TBR.

[Leena]

Ive heard good reviews of Quo Vadis too.

[Em Lost In Books, EmLo is my Name, PIFM is my Game]

@Nate - Some great challenges you are tackling this year! good luck. :D

Piqued to see what you are going to put in that dark/disturbing category.

about the Manga, I have heard only of Black Clover, that too because Netflix keeps recommending it to me. I don't read them but absolutely loved watching Death Note, Food Wars. Currently watching Full Metal Alchemist.

Thanks!!

Oh! I am less inclined to watch episodes and prefer to read the manga more. Death note is one of the best ever made[The anime episodes did justice too!]. I will update the Dark/Disturbing Category soon!

I'd suggest this anime series[ It is not on Netflix i.e Netflix one sucks, search elsewhere for this series only 12 episodes]
Erased / Boku Dake Ga Inai Machi.

Thanks. I will check them out and add to my TBR = )
I have read a few books by M H Clark, wasn't a total fan since I could more or less predict the plotline, the twists...

Ah well, 2021 was disappointing year for me. With COVID attacks, Work, music and other stuff couldn't devote much time to reading.

I will change it in 2022!!

[Makrand]

Best wishes and hope you'd be able to carry on with your reading journey unaffected in 2022, Nate!!

Happy Reading
