I need to finish The Wild Irish by Robin Maxwell, which I started in July. I’m also a moderator at a couple Goodreads groups and I have books to read for the monthly discussions: Red Sister by Mark Lawrence and The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang. I’ve faced some personal challenges in the past few weeks and have not had much time to read. Hoping to get a least a few books read yet this month.
I'm going to finish the road trip challenge.
I'm probably not going to finish the road trip challenge, so I'm focusing on the yearly prompts.My fixed TBR for August is:
The Twilight Garden
The Reading List
Baráti beszélgetések
I am going to read Peri Masalı (Fairy Tale) by Stephen King for 2023 challenge.
These are a few-- Murder on Black Swan Lane
-- While Justice Sleeps
-- Roots: The Saga of an American Family
-- Vincent and Theo: The VanGogh Brothers
I am focusing on road trip #2 of the summer challenge. I am not sure that I will make it but I will keep doing until it is finished.But currently reading Jane Eyre, which is not for the summer challenge. Listening to The Gift of Fear: Survival Signals That Protect Us from Violence, also not for the summer challenge.
This month I am selfishly reading books that farther me in seriesThe Mad Ship by Robin Hobb
Ready Player Two by Ernest Cline
Still Life With Crows by Douglas Preston
I also have a few others not series and a couple 2023 yearly challenge

I hope to get to Project Hail Mary and In the Lives of Puppets also, but it may be wishful thinking.
