Winter is over and I have read 10 books. To be honest, I’ve read more than that over the last three months, making a dent in my TBR, but these are the 10 that I am counting towards my challenge goals.
With this challenge I set out to read some of the books that had been on my TBR the longest, choosing 5 then adding a few newer release books. I don’t have a massive TBR and I regularly cull books from it as my reading tastes change so I made sure to make this challenge count, reading a little outside my preferred genre. I still included some romance … because I am who I am… but the books read were a bit more of a mix lot than I would normally choose.
Books read:
- The Girls Who Grew Big by Leila Mottley – ★★★★
- Kin by Tayari Jones – ★★★★
- Pictures of You by Emma Grey – ★★★★
- Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke – ★★★★
- The Maid by Nita Prose – ★★★★
- No Matter What by Cara Bastone – ★★★★★
- Dolly All the Time by Annabel Monaghan – ★★★★
- Next of Kin by Hannah Bonam-Young – ★★★★
- Lost Lambs by Madeline Cash – ★★★★
- These Summer Storms by Sarah MacLean – ★★★★
I did consider continuing reading once I’d completed all 10 books (and I did keep reading) but then decided against it. Preferring to keep the challenge simple this year. Maybe next year I’ll aim for 20.
