Hope you're feeling better now, or soon anyway!
And we're all good on the adventure books - we've got our bonus points together :-)

I have a lot of retellings that I can read forDorothy Must Die audiobooks (retelling of Oz)
Ones that I need to read for a NBRC disney princess challenge.
So I'm happy to read 2-4 books with retelling MPG (~200-400 pages
I read a series a few weeks ago for this challenge and they were all retellings... I should have held off on them until this week

I have one more retellings I'm ready to read but it might cover only T (again)Or do you want me to attack Z (great for page count :P)?
I’m listening to one (Yellow Brick War) and am halfway with it. Am happy to do another one (:
That way I can finish the series I’m listening/reading
I can now say with some confidence, that as well as reading The Broken God as planned, I will also be finishing Les Misérables in the next couple of days! 10 hours (out of 76!) to go! Woohoo!
