Carol/Bonadie (bonadie) | 9483 comments Likewise, Gail. Go for it! Are the books you've listed ones you've already read, or ones you're targetting.

I think I read State of Terror for the same category last year. Hope you enjoy it!

If the title is bolded with an X in front I have read it in 2022. If not bolded and no X, it's my (very loosely) planned book.

This is fun. Glad I joined!

Ann (annrumsey) | 16925 comments Congratulations Gail!! Your top ten getting “older” shelved books read is impressive! So many times newer books push those to the side.

Donnajo | 4351 comments Carol, I’m starting to decide which new prompt to add for next year. Once I get some together will check with Ann which one we should add.

Gail, make sure you check back for 2023 challenge we we usually put thread up after Christmas. I’m sure it will be the three options again with a new prompt added.
