Thank you! It's been quite fun so far :)

I like the look of this challenge. I've been thinking of setting up something similar. Good luck!

Thanks Jason! Do you have a particular author in mind? :D

I have a few in mind. One of my goals this year is to try and catch up with some authors I've never read - Michael J. Sullivan, Mark Lawrence, David Hair, mixed in with favourites likeBrandon Sanderson. Mmmm.... perhaps I should just cut and paste your list :p

Feel free to copy-paste :) Although I erased the details of the series I completed already to shorten the list.

I've never read David Hair either... Maybe my next addition to the list haha.

So many amazing books on this list.

Helen wrote: "So many amazing books on this list."

That's why I want to read 'em all :D

I don't think I'll get another book off my list this month so...

February: 3 books read for the challenge (Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians, Prince of Fools & Hollow World).
14 books to go!

March: The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter & The Liar's Key
12 books to go!

I'm one book away from completing Mark Lawrence :D

Great job!!!!

Thanks :)

Mark Lawrence’s new book has hit the world today but not the UK. Where he lives! And me more importantly.

Oh. For some reasons, I was convinced the publication date was the 19th...
No Grey Sister in the UK means no Grey Sister in France! Not OK!
BUT my neighbor bought the Kindle version so I should have access to it soon :D

I’m so cross about those dates. Interestingly, some bits of Europe have said they’ve had it.

Great job. What do you think of Sullivan. He is one of my favorite authors.

Well done. Good luck with those Alcatraz books. I love Sanderson but those were probably the most annoying books I have ever read.

Thank you guys!

He's one of my favorite authors too, along with Robin Hobb and Brandon Sanderson! The only book I didn't adore is Hollow World, but it's still a good read!
I love how we can see his writing get better and better with each book!
