Thanks! Yes, I've seen, I hope to catch up soon with you and the others on reading Temeraire, but still so much other books to read.

:-)
Cool list, btw.
I'll be with you in the Feast for Crows and DwD reads.
I'm abandonning Novik, Auel and Martin for now. It's impossible to read them at the moment.
I really need to stop adding BR's. This is going to be a full time job reading all this.
Hey Book Owl,Just in case you thought I forgot. Or that what I said on the Mordor thread was some sort of polite one-off...I'm still here. And though I don't get a lot of time to be online and we haven't done that many BRs together, if you wanna randomly chat, Saar...or if you wanna read a book...if you wanna be silly on the threads...anytime, just say the word and I will MAKE the time and my wordy abstractions are at your serviiiiiiiiice...haha!
Treeload of OWLS for you. I was saving this beautiful image for Siobhan but know that in this case she will deffo not mind. This is another *hug* from all of us @FBR. Btw, I am the (cunning) obscured owl in hiding. I reserved it already...😂😂😂
Shucks...now I hope it loads! Wouldnt it be too dumb if it didn't?
Oh, Zaara, I just saw this picture and your message! Many thanks, I love owls so much and thanks for your kind word. I really appreciate it.
I think of deleting year 2018 and start with a clean list.
So, I've deleted 2017 and 2018 to make place for 2019.
Nice! Although you should know: the release of The Light of All That Falls has been pushed to December 2019, so the BR won't happen until then.
Ow, I'll change it. Thanks for letting me know :)
That's sweet of you, Zaara :) How are you?
So, I've started a whole new BR - tracker for next year. 2019 I've started strong, but halfway the year I've been in a slump until now. I didn't finish much in 2019 and abandonned more books than was healthy ;) Up to a better 2020. (I know, I'm early on that)
Good luck dear!! I’ve gotten more 2 star reviews lately. I’m burning out trying to get all of the books I own read. I hope we both have a better 2020 😊

I came in strong in January with a ton of BRs...
February was rough, and my ratings average suffered...
March/April/May I did less BRs and supplemented my reading with a ton of mysteries and evened out...
June/July work got in the way and I read less...
July/August I did a ton of re-reads of favorites to try and unslump, and as a result my average rating is crazy high....
September/October were pretty good, trying new things and doing a lot of flexible BRs, so my ratings are good...
November has been a bit rough, trying to forcibly clear my TBR of unfinished things, so I've given a lot of 3 star ratings... but some real diamonds in the rough have balanced it out...

I have almost the same. I've started great, but after the summer I've slumped. I wanted to read the whole 'Temeraire' - series and that new series with dragons, but I didn't found the time. And also I wanted to do the Malazan - series after failing last year. Well, epic fail this year.
Indeed, there's only a few weeks until 2020, so, we can all start fresh again.
Dominique wrote: "Did you still want to read Once Upon a River?"Yes, I was posting the data in the topic, but my post is gone. I've asked for a thread. I think I had planned it for March, but I'm not sure. We'll see when the BR - thread appears in the group.

@Virginie: ah, thank you very much!@Iain: You've seen it allready, but, I can defend myself: the first one has around 150 pages. So you can see it as a double booking and a half ;)
