Welcome to Litsy!

This started out so well but I lost interest halfway and found myself switching off. Possibly better to read in print. I think I would have preferred it if there weren‘t as many character points of view, too. I was left with similar feelings as when I listened to I Want To Go Home But I‘m Already There…just couldn‘t connect to the characters and not very memorable. #10beforetheend

I really like Matt Haig and I enjoy his books, this one included, as they are compulsive, easy reading but with some depth, life questions etc. - sometimes a bit predictable and cliche. It‘s an uplifting read and I could definitely relate to the questioning of what if I did this, or didn‘t do that, what would my life be like now? A low pick. #10beforetheend

I read all my #10BeforeTheEnd books, with a couple of swaps... I thought I would not get the tagged book on time, but I did, and finished it on Boxing Day 😁

Thank you @ChaoticMissAdventures for hosting this challenge 💙

Whew! 😅 managed to read #10beforetheend… though they were not *all* from the originally planned 10. Helped with the first 2 carl books in audio (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ & ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 respectively). Still hoping to finish All of Us Murderers… @ChaoticMissAdventures

I have TWO books remaining for #10beforetheend—those two are also my remaining unread BookSpins, and the final two I need to complete #192025. Five days to finish two books and knock out three challenges… I think I can do it! (I am less confident I‘ll be able to finish the 20+ reviews I‘d like to catch up on…)

I completed all but one of my #10BeforeTheEnd reads, and enough of the tenth to know I need to be in a different frame of mind with different priorities to make finishing worth my time.

So I'm calling the challenge a success for this year. Thanks for hosting @ChaoticMissAdventures !

Aaaaannd that‘s a wrap on my #10beforetheend challenge!

This was farcical, a look at race in America through an absurdist lens. Not Sidney (his real name) navigates modern America as a Black man with Ted Turner (yes THAT Ted Turner) and a propensity to become embroiled in situations that resemble the plots of Sidney Poitier movies. Also, Everett himself cameos.

Thank you @ChaoticMissAdventures for hosting and whittling down my physical TBR.

Update on my #10beforetheEnd. I've managed to read 7/10 which isn't bad. But I started the tagged book in July so would like to finish it before the new year. I can save the Jaouad and Bennett for 2026. @ChaoticMissAdventures

From my #TBR #10BeforetheEnd

I finished up my #10BeforeTheEnd, with a little time to spare 📚🙂 Most of these were really great too.
