What I ended up doing was just picking 16 from my tbr shelf. Some are new to me and on the Goodreads Choice awards, some newer by authors I love, and some the next in a series I'm reading.

Same.

Reminder: Simply edit your first comment with your 12+4 choices, so that your list doesn't get lost in your comments.

Looking forward to checking out your list.

Yessss welcome to the Murderbot series

Bonnie, your list looks great! I haven't read any of the books on it, but several are on my TBR and a few more are going to be. :-)

Great list Bonnie. I loved All the Colors of the Dark, Briar Clib, and All Systems Red. Happy reading!

Great list. I really need to catch up on my Gamache and Vera series. I hope you enjoy Murderbot. Happy reading in 2025!

Any list with Murderbot is my favorite! LOL

Good luck and happy reading, Bonnie! :D

I don't even remember what made me check it out. Maybe on here?

I'm sure I'll be adding (more) from other people's lists too.

Good to know. All the Colors... was a friend's choice for our online bookclub for January, but I've really like the author before.

Enjoy your choices!

started All Systems Red and really grabbed me

Yay! We love a sarcastic, and murderous robot!

Great book and looking forward to more of this series.

Bonnie wrote: " Great book and looking forward to more of this series."

I hope to get back into the series this year, as well.

Glad you liked All Systems Red Bonnie. Murderbot is one of my favorite characters.

Bonnie wrote: " Great book and looking forward to more of this series."

Yay! So glad you enjoyed it. All the books are novella sized except for one. Murderbot is a hoot!

Also; kudos on knocking out the first book on your challenge!

The Dark Wives was a really good addition to the Vera series. So 2 down. The Full Moon Coffee Shop was odd and didn't appeal, so one DNF from my main 12.

Sorry for the 2 DNFs, Bonnie! That's tough. I was wondering if something was lost in translation with the Full Moon Coffee Shop. For it to be so short, and it was a DNF; I will steer clear. Yikes!

Enjoyed A Death in Duck book 2 in a cozy series (chaplain Lindsay Harding) which is a bit less cozy than many cozy series and has unique characters- plus set in NC where we like to spend time at the coast.

So 3 months in, 6 read and 2 did not finish :) Of those read, 1- 5 star, 3 four star, 1 -3 star and 1 -2star. Not a bad list at all :)

Not bad Bonnie. Hope you enjoy the rest of the list.

Michelle wrote: "Not bad Bonnie. Hope you enjoy the rest of the list."

thanks. I have a better chance this year of liking more since I got them all from my TBR shelf.

Love that you found a 5* on this list, that's always great (also agree, All Systems Red is such a fantastic book, have reread it several times). Keeping fingers crossed that you get several more 5* reads :)

Great update, and you have been doing really well.

Kudos Bonnie!! Woot!!

Will you do a 2nd list?? Inquiring minds want to know. ;)

Seven done and one in process ( which I am loving. This is one of those long books series I've been reading forever (historical fiction with romance, but also serious themes.) Also 2 DNF books, but still a good number read 4 months in.

Challenge is going well- 11 books read or listened to. Only one 5 star read (All Systems Red but six 4 stars, two 3 stars and one 2 star. Also two did not finish. Three more options to go.

You're doing great Bonnie! Congrats!

Michelle wrote: "You're doing great Bonnie! Congrats!"

thanks, I was getting worried when I disliked the two I DNF pretty early. I know I'll like/love at least one of my three choices left- maybe all three.

You're having a great challenge. Good luck with your final books.

11 read and 1 in process- so I may officially finish this month. I do have two more I may read, though, and I DNF two of the twelve plus 4.

Congratulations on officially completing your challenge, Bonnie!!

Officially finished! I may still read one more :)

Bonnie wrote: "Officially finished! I may still read one more :)"

Congrats on completing your challenge. Which one will it be?

Probably the Medicine Woman of Galveston. I usually get into historical fiction reading in fall/winter :) Plus I have it on Kindle and the Welcome to the H-D Bookshop I have on a very long Libby hold.

I actually read or listened to 13. 2 I did not finish and one I won't start because it's not available to borrow (or no time soon anyway) and I don't want to read it enough to buy it.

Congratulations, Bonnie! Maybe you'll eventually get your Libby hold. I find that they all seem to come in at once! Happy reading! :-)

Congratulations, Bonnie!
