Great challenge and great stack! Love Milosz
I needed a few week off…but am busy gathering books for my 2026 challenges! I’ve revived the blog and have not ironed out all the bugs…but my reply is “anonymous” but is me NancyElin.blog
Good to see you back Nancy!
Good to be back!
I’m glad you’ve returned Nancy, I wondered what happened.
Good luck with this challenge.
I needed a rest…but now busy compiling my reading lists for challenges 2026. I have a list ready for your non-ficiton challenge….I’ll post the sigh-up with my NF reading for January 2026. As always, thanks for hosting!
Thanks for being the first person to sign up! Your picks looks wonderful. I see several that are on my own TBR shelves, like the Paul Theroux. I also see some I’ve read and loved, like the Jim Harrison book and the two graham Greene books. Happy reading!
I’m always surprised to find so many book patiently waiting for me on my book shelves. You have an amazing library of TBR books….!
Thanks for you comment. (icon for me is still “anonymous = NancyElin.blog…haven’t figured out how to change this yet!)
This is a great challenge. I tried it one year but failed, but I truly think it would work well for me this year.
I am glad to see you blogging!
Tracy, this is a perfect challenge to clean out your CF TBR and all those books you bought at the Planned Parenthhood book sale! I’m joining Cloak & Dagger CF challenge at Carol’s Notebook in 2026. Thanks to you mentioning this challenge I read 22 CF in 2025…a new personal record! Thanks for you comment. (icon for me is still “anonymous = NancyElin.blog…haven’t figured out how to change this yet!)
I read Master and Margarita in our winter months – it was totally bonkers! I wonder what you will think of it?
They say Master and Margarita is one of the masterpieces of the 20th century.
I’ll just have to see if that is true!
Good luck!
