This is what I didn't get read of my independent challenge in 2024.

Audible did three big purges of its plus catalog, so I lost three months trying to listen to plus titles before they expired. That and laziness is what got me here. :)

Great idea, Jennifer. I already see 2 that I might add to my tbr.

Good luck with this list! 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

Jennifer, I haven't read any of these books either, but they all look so good. I can see why you added them. Hopefully you'll be able to get a few of them read this year and they'll be as good as they sound!

[Bill, Moderator]

The Dorothy Parker mystery sounds interesting. I've also enjoyed other work by Max Allan Collins. Enjoy your 2025 reading, Jennifer.

[Denise]

Love this idea. Might steal it. :)

[Jennifer, Moderator]

Have at it, Denise! I could do another five or ten challenges made up of other challenges I'm behind on, so I might steal it from myself.

[Ioana]

These all sound good and interesting, and I haven't read any of them. Which is dangerous, because if you'll like them I won't be able to resist. Can't wait to read your reviews, happy reading!
