Least Liked: House of Earth and Blood and Daughter of the Burning City

Binti was a reread for me.

Several of the books on this list, I probably would not have picked up if they hadn't been group picks.

I didn’t do too badly!

✅ January - realistic fiction: The Poet X
✅ February - short book: Binti
DNF - June - historical setting: They Went Left
✅ September - second chance: Every Heart a Doorway
Bought but not read yet - October - free choice: Nyxia
✅ December - free choice: Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe

How many did you read? I read 4 and all 4 were from my TBR of owned books!

Which books were wins for you? All of them, but I probably loved Ari & Dante best.

Stretches? Every Heart a Doorway was a stretch only in my mind. I don’t love Horror, so I was afraid to read it actually.
DBFs? I only DNFed They went Left, because it was the wrong moment to read that type of book. I got it from the library, so I may try again.
