Reserved just in case

I spy Elemental Assassin 👀🤣 Good luck on all your challenges Brittany!

Lol thought you'd like that Lili

I finished and I am counting it as series finished because I dont intend on reading book 4 as its different people from the same time as book 1.

I went through my series and am at 76 unfinished ones which isn't counting anything with a new release still to come this year.

That's exactly why I don't count my unfinished series :D

Haha! Don't blame you Elena. I like to try and clear my tbr and stuff off at the start of the year. Get rid of things I will never get to and all that.

Oh yeah! I feel you, cleanup is always appreciated. Especially when you don't own physical books, but mostly e-books, the clutter becomes digital and somehow it's even larger than any kind of physical one. At least when you have the physical books, they actually do take some space and it's very visual. I'm physical minimalist, I guess, but definitely it's a long way to go to be a digital minimalist :D

Maybe pile I hope to mostly pick from... :

Would you like to buddy read Amina Al-Sirafi Brittany? It's one I'd like to read this month as well?

Ooh I spy Only Bad Options. I really enjoyed that one... which comes as a surprise to no one 😆 lol

Absolutely! Looking forward to your thoughts on it :)

Nope no surprise at all!

Let me know if you want to start The First Stop and also have you already read A Venom Dark and Sweet? I'm going to read it next week :)

Elena wrote: "Let me know if you want to start The First Stop and also have you already read A Venom Dark and Sweet? I'm going to read it next week :)"

I have a hold on Venom but I doubt it will come in next week. I have Amina and then one other read planned but I could do First Stop after that!!

Brittany wrote: "I have a hold on Venom but I doubt it will come in next week. I have Amina and then one other read planned but I could do First Stop after that!!"

Sounds great, let me know when you're ready to start First Stop. I can access it anytime, we have it on KU in Germany :)

Nice! Its on audible plus for me :)

Ooo let me know how you like Amina! I loved it

Go read our buddy read about it and jump in with thoughts!
Amina was good

I haven't gotten around to updating for march yet but hopefully will soon.

Here's my tenative april plan, lots of audiobook time as I have some major driving next week

April plan, some of these?

How did you like Book Lovers?

Book lovers was so fun! Probably my favourite I have read of her books so far

Same here! I loved the banter

Yes it was so well done and it felt real. I also appreciated the little bit of making fun of the romance cliches and stuff. Just such a well written book

Yess! I genuinely cracked up a few times and that’s rare

I'd love to read The First Stop.

I'm interested to see what you think of Omens! I like the author's YA books, though it's been a while since I read anything by her.

Are you off on a road trip, btw?

Elena absolutely! I have a 4 hour book and then First Stop is next! I'll likely listen to it mostly in a day and wont be on goodreads right away but we can still make a thread to chat about it if you want? :)
