November Group Read: Ready, Steady, Read!
Alright, so that was an overwhelmingly positive response so let's do the thing.
Checkins will be on Wednesdays except for the final one which will be a Thursday! As ever, there are no penalties for checkin in late, missing a check-in or not making your target. It's all about encouraging each other to read more than we would have otherwise. If you've got a list or a target, feel free to share it in the comments below! And most importantly - have fun!

The Woman They Could Not Silence by Kate Moore (this is a library loan expected to arrive mid-month).
This covers a range of audio, physical and ebooks and with the exception of the library audio book which is currently due mid-month there isn't a particular order of priority. I want to enjoy my reading but also get through as many as possible as I'm trying to reduce the waiting to be read pile (and even up the balance of incoming books for the year!)

My goal for the entire year was set to 20 published fiction/nonfiction books, 13 of which I‘ve managed so far. I‘ll scale it down to 18 because there is no way I can reach that target now. It was the first time trying a challenge like that, so I definitely know now to not overestimate my reading time.

This will be my third month signed up at
thestoryinside, and I've only finished one of the books picked for me--all of which are on my 2023 reading wishlist! So, my minimum goal is to finish at least one book from each month's set. The stretch goal is to read all three from at least one month.
The five I have now are
Three of these are 'in progress'.
And, just to have too many goals - my 'currently reading' list is sitting at over 30, and I'd like to pick up and finish enough of the ones that haven't been touched in ages that I get that under 30.
