I can always up it.<br /><br />I FINALLY found a book to start the year with. I spent literally hours combing through lists--another reason for lowering my total. Plus, I hope to be writing more this year. I'm also trying not to fall back on books I've previously read numerous times, but there's a reason they are on my keeper shelf. Sadly, I have read this first book of the year but it was years ago and the first time I attempted it in audio back in '17, I quit before the end of the first chapter. Weird headspace then, like now. So far, though, I'm sticking with it. And there are some new releases this year--like 5 or 6 (maybe I should REALLY lower my total 🤣 ), but they are from known and trusted authors, and I'll probably relisten to earlier books in the series. <br /><br />Anyway. Don't want to be Debbie Downer. I am looking for new-to-me authors and books this year, taking a page from your reading list, but being limited to audio, at $15 a pop, I'm not hep on taking chances and finding books available from the library or on Audible Plus is a challenge. <br /><br />Here's to a good reading year for all of us!Silver Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15606837105470988646noreply@blogger.com
