2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This year I'm planning to read at least 23 books in '23! I'm going to loosely follow the 52 Book Club master list - essentially when I start a new book I'll reference the challenge for that week and I'll try to find a book on my bookshelf that fits. Honestly, the most important things are that I finish 23 books so I narrow down the unreads on my bookshelf!

2022 Reading List - I hit my goal of 7 books (8 if you count the children's book)!

1. Captain Starfish by Davina Bell | 5/5


2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen | 4/5


3. Shadowrun: Into the Shadows: An Anthology by Jordan K. Weisman | 4/5 | Review


4. Witch Is When It All Began by Adele Abbott | 1/5 | Review


5. Save the Cat! Writes a Novel by Jessica Brody | 5/5 | Review


6. The Aliens Approach by Easton Royce | 4/5 | Review


7. Dark Side of the Sun by Dina Anastasio | 3/5 | Review


8. Mutiny by Easton Royce | 4/5 | Review
