I was going to recommend my Poetry Reading Challenge, but you may not have the time, though there are 2 easy options on the list that you could consider. https://savvyverseandwit.com/2023/01/2023-poetry-reading-challenge.htmlSerenahttps://savvyverseandwit.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5782277794223039496.post-86125825334484905232023-01-03T20:43:10.371-08:002023-01-03T20:43:10.371-08:00Glad your travels were safe.

You have so many challenges - I checked the Virtual TBR and had to laugh... as if we don't have enough books on hand! <br />Your new books look good. I like the two non-fiction.

I can't imagine every day for 10 years! No wonder you need a break. <br />I'm planning on reading less books this year, so looking at all your challenges exhausts me just reading them. Of course, I haven't finished my MustReadIn2023 lists so I could very well be biting off more than I can chew.

My brother's power was out for 23 hours and the highway and streets are all flooded around where he lives in Northern California. I was glad for all the rain we saw here in Southern California but am relieved it wasn't as bad for us as it was for those up north. <br /><br />Good luck with all your challenges! I am going to be doing a few of those too. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy your new books! I read A Peculiar Combination and really enjoyed it. <br /><br />I hope you have a Happy New Year, Mark.

In a normal week I usually post five days a week. Wednesdays and Thursdays are typically the only days I don't post.
