March was a great month for getting ahead in my challenges.

#52bookclub25 - 11
#bookchain2025 - 8
#litsyAtoZ - 6
#chunksters - 3

Bloodlands was my top read and I just bought Snyder‘s On Freedom which I‘m excited to dive into.

Yes , I think I will try this challenge this year ! I have read #chunksters before, when I read War & Peace I got to the point I had goals of 20 pages every time I picked it up. Did finish it , did love it. Admittedly, failed on some of them too. The titles that come to mind , A Little Life and the third in The Outlander series, Voyager.
Thanks to @Amiable for hosting!
Is there a chunkster lurking on your TBR?

Amiable Yay! Do you know which one(s) you will try this year? I‘m working my way through “Anna Karenina” right now. 3mo
Leftcoastzen @Amiable yes! Should have phrased that better in my post ! Need to read A Little Life & Voyager, the 3rd in Outlander series. I was digging around looking for my copy of A Little Life 3mo
Leftcoastzen @Amiable I finished Anna Karenina about 6 years ago , I think? Liked it but I struggled at times , had to set a page goal on that one too. As I recall short chapters , so that helped. 3mo

Amiable @Leftcoastzen Yes, short chapters in AK is making it easy to progress steadily. Plus the story is fairly engaging, which helps! 3mo
Amiable @Leftcoastzen I read “A Little Life” when it came out. That‘s a difficult read. Well written, but emotionally exhausting. 3mo
mrp27 Oh! I totally forget about Voyager. I have that one too I can add to my chunkster list. 3mo

Starting off #JubilantJuly by listening to The Evening and The Morning.

A big book, which I am already 1/3 of the way through, but I still have over 16 hours of it to listen to.

TheSpineView Enjoy! 2y
Andrew65 @TheSpineView Thanks, am enjoying it. A big book though. 2y

Started listening to The Evening and The Morning, the prequel in the superb Kingsbridge Series. At 24.33 hours it might take a while. Decided to re-read the whole Series. Hoping it will help me get back in a reading flow.

Can‘t wait for the new book to be published in September.

Cuilin I‘m looking forward to new book too. Loved this prequel. Sorry you‘re having a reading slump. I hate when that happens. 2y
CoverToCoverGirl I love Follett! I can‘t wait either.. 2y
TheSpineView This is a fabulous series!💙📖📚 2y

Tove_Reads Wow! Was thinking about doing the same 😊 You‘ve been in a slump as well 🙁🤦🏼‍♂️🙁 I remember when we pretty much didn‘t sleep during the time we read these books some years back 🤣 2y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads Yep wall to wall reading it was. Never remember a slump this bad. Like a stuttering car I get going again then grind to a halt. 2y
Tove_Reads A proper book depression then. Horrrible feeling! I usually need a quicker read to get out of one. And a fantastic one. Coben? Or a new series that‘ll draw you in. Ooh, Cork O‘Connor by William Kent Krueger! 2y
Andrew65 @Tove_Reads That is what I am trying, not helped by a lot of issues I‘ve had to help resolve at a school I was working with. Taken up all my brain power. Trying to build it day by day at the moment. It‘s finding the right new series. I‘m scouting books with red coats on the cover. 😂 (edited) 2y
Andrew65 @Cuilin @covertocovergirl @TheSpineView he always writes such great books. 2y

@Eggs 🤗🤩😍

1. My challenges are going so-so. Still trying to trudge through WAR AND PEACE for #Chunksters, still caught on last month's #AuthoraMonth. Finished (and loved) OLD FANCIES & NEW FRIENDS with the #pemberlittens. However, my actual #TBR shelf just sits there. I think I'm going to have to give up some challenges if I want to shorten my books on the shelves.
2. Time to whittle down my books on the shelves.

After a bit of a freeze on book buying another #booksale #bookhaul !! 📚😬

I guess this is what happens when you restrict yourself 🤷🏻‍♀️

But at least it was another #supportyourlocallibrary situation.

suvata Holy guacamole! Impressive. 2y
Clwojick @5feet.of.fury the first one was my least favourite, but still enjoyable. The second was my favourite, and the third following shortly after that. I definitely preferred Rhys‘ story to Tamlin‘s. ❤️ 2y

#JoyousJanuary

I completely forgot to update on Monday. I finished Demon Copperhead and David Copperfield, a result in itself #chunksters
Bailed on An intro to English poetry 😴
Still dipping into Holly McNish's delicious anthology and the tagged.
I did get distracted by 2 excellent #Netgalley reads Weyward and The wheel of the year.

All on all, a success. Although the journal still awaits 🙈

@Andrew65

Andrew65 That‘s brilliant, well done 👏👏👏🙌🍾🥂🥳🥰 I think we all get distracted at times 🤷‍♂️ 2y
