I'm excited to read them too, they have really good reviews and I really enjoyed her other series.

I added a series (His Dark Materials) and completed one book in the Haunted Guesthouse Series! :) I have a ways to go lol

Lol, I'm sure I will be adding more and you are further than me. I still need to start!

Best of luck to you! It's time-consuming but so fun :)

You too, it's definitely fun! :)

How is the Little Blue Envelope series??

It wasn't bad, I didn't love it, but I did want to know how it ended. Not much parental supervision, which doesn't seem realistic to me. I would be calling my child everyday in those circumstances. I think there is going to be a movie.

A movie huh? I'll probably wait for the movie to come to Netflix then lol

how do you girls get that thick? Can't find it in html is ok.

Do you mean bolding the text? You should use <.b>insert text here<./b> without the periods.

No. I mean that thick sign. you have it also in your list in front of the books you have already read. It's in red colour.

✔ I use the emoji option from my phone, but you can also use:
&*#10004; (without the asterisk and no spaces)

Ok. Thank you:) ✔got it

I have added 1 more series to my list which makes it now a total of 13 instead of 12. Liveship Traders was originally on my list but as it is huge I thought to replace it with Dragon Prince. However, thanks to a buddy read, I read Ship of Magic and finding it so great, I had to go on with the rest of the series up to the end. And I'm really glad I did because the trilogy is amazing. Robin Hobb is a brilliant writer!

Finished 2 more. I am slowly knocking off the big ones first. :)

1 more series completed. And this one was truly exceptional.

I added 1 more series to my TBR list - the Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

a few more books finished. I have updated my message.
