readingtogetherCheck in post! Tell us in the comments how you went. Did you finish the book? Did you make progress? Did you procrastinate and read something else instead? Did life or something else get in your way?
And! Because this was so successful for me, I'm going to run this at least two more weeks, with the goal of picking one book each week, and getting to feel smug if I achieve it. So! The other thing you can do in the comments is tell us about a book you want to make progress on this week. I'll aim to put up a check in post at about the same time next week ('tis Sunday morning where I am, but I'm aware it is still Saturday evening for a large number of people)

Date: 2023-12-17 02:17 am (UTC)I finished The Last Devil To Die by Richard Osman. It was worth keeping going, although I wasn't expecting a murder mystery to have me weeping for pages.
This week, my goal book to finish is The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner. I bought it at the airport, umm, in January I think, read half of it on the outward bound trip, and then life happened.

A tear-jerking murder mystery??

These books will come available weeks from now & I will have no idea why I put holds on them lol

For audiobooks apparently. So cool. I should look into that - after I have done something about my horrid/tantalising physical TBR piles.

That sounds wild but also delightful! :D
