Thanks Sharon!

Good luck Carolyn! A great challenge - I'll be watching with interest :)

There are enough titles there to keep me going for a couple of years Alex. There's no way I'll read them all but I like to have choices :)

With only 34 /50 books read in 2021, I sadly fell a long way short of my challenge to whittle down the number of books on my kindle :(

Will just have to make sure 2022 is better!!

Good luck Carolyn :)

Thanks Brenda - just a case of me being a slow reader with too many books to read!!

I can understand the "too many books to read"!! lol

My goodness I love this list Carolyn. Even the way it looks on the screen. You are reading a lot of series! I think I am glad my kindle isn't full, I rarely use it. I would be overwhelmed!

Good luck and happy reading, you will enjoy it, and be challenged too!

Good lu..."

Once you relax about having so many books, it's just like having your own mobile library! I have an 'owned-tbr' shelf on GR so I can search it for my favourite authors or books that fit a challenge. These days I tend to only buy books I can't wait to read.
