Excellent. So glad that you have had success and enjoyed the challenge.
So excited for your choices, Jazzy. We have a few authors in common but not the same books. I read July’s People a few years ago and I’m reading The Conservationist this time. I have Coetzee also- Waiting for the Barbarians. Let’s go 2021.
Cool illustrations! :O)Lots of great titles. Good luck with your challenge.
Why many thanks Brina and Veronique! Happy New Year and hope your challenges are going well x

I am not Jazzy, but I read Palace Walk a few weeks ago and I really liked it.
