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 😵💫

A mix this month of brilliant and I finished this because it was short. It all makes me a more well rounded reader.... or so I delude myself. Huge kudos to John Green. Thank you 😊

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 😞
