20 Books of Summer is an annual challenge hosted by Cathy of 746 Books. This is all about reading and reviewing your backlog over the summer – just set a target of 10, 15 or 20 books and declare a TBR (you can always change it later). I saw imyril’s post @ There’s Always Room For One More and decided to join in.
My biggest driving forces this summer are The Hugo Readalong and the Bingo Challenge, both over on r/Fantasy. I also want to focus on reading what I already own (with the main exception allowed being bookclubs) and I want to make some progress on my goal to Finish some series, a mini challenge I set myself and that I should do an update on, come to think of it.
Audiobooks:
Already spent almost all my credits for the year, as you do, so really focussed on reading what I own here. I asked a friend to help me pick what order to read in, so I’m looking at:
