Good luck. I'm really slow at these. I've been doing an around the world in 80 books one and I'm almost half way after four years.

Some of these are difficult to categorize.
For example....I question Changespell as a paranormal romance, but others have. It will fit somewhere I'm sure and I planned to read it sometime regardless.
Perhaps of note, I started The Curse of the Mistwraith years ago...yes years. It is my particular challenge must, this year.I am enjoying the story so far, but life difficulties have interrupted. I was warned that this is a difficult series....that is the kind I like. It will not beat me, this year.
; )

Lol
If it takes me longer, I can just say....I'm waiting for the end to be finished!
White as Snow, could also be mythic fiction. If I find a better selection for fairy tale fantasy, I may switch it.I hadn't realized it was a story of Snow White interwoven with the mythological story of Demeter and her daughter.
I grew up reading lots of mythology...this should be interesting.
Sigh ...my sword and sorcery choice may be last.I really need to finish my re-read the rest of the series first.
Great finds at the used bookstore!Not all of what I hoped for, but very good none the less.
The Dragonbone Chair
Sunshine
Spindle's End
And hardback of The Alloy of Law

I'm not nagging, you take as long as you like. I'd rather wait and have a finished article that you're proud of. Look I've learnt patience.
