I'm almost all set and ready to go for 2022!This time, I'm not going to proceed in order; I have several trilogies in the list and would very much like to read *those* in order rather than the entire list^^
I will be starting with a few books I still have sitting on my device from my last Kindle Unlimited trial (haven't taken the Kindle out of flight mode since then, so the local copies are still there although the trial itself has already expired) which I need to finish before I can actually download my latest e-book purchases :D
Excited to start into a new year full of great reads and new discoveries!
