Yeah me! A-Z challenge done 😁 Polished off with "In Xanadu", William Dalrymple. OK technically it starts with an "I" but finding a decent X book is so hard 😥 It was a good read - hard core travel by fairly insane youth 😵💫

Oct reading stats! Highlight was "Piranesi". In my TBR pile for far too long. And it's been a great year for me and Robert Jackson Bennett - 5 books! All very good to great 😁 On track for 100 books this year and my goal was only 36.

The books I did not finish since I started keeping track in 2023. Either - 1. not my thing, or 2. terrible writing. I'll leave you to decide what category they fall into 😉 Hint - 4 books in cat 1 and only 1 in cat 2.

Goodies from the library. Currently reading "City of Miracles". I'll be in pieces when the series is over 😭 RJB is incredible. Next read will be "A Darker Shade of Magic". Someone put a reserve on it so I can't renew it. Sharing is hard 😞

Ahead of Germany’s election, with anti-immigrant sentiment rising, they released viral videos showing life without immigrants.
History proves that when a country starts erasing certain people, it doesn’t end well.

If you spend exactly zero seconds thinking about how this would be unfair to you, we should be friends.
It’s funny how the ones who complain the loudest never had a barrier in their way to begin with.
