    Lots of good books here, especially with the Agathie Christie titles. The Cozy Teashop titles looks cute. I am curious about The Secrets of Lazarus Club. I found "We" interesting. I hope you like it and the rest of you fine titles. Happy Reading!

I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it.
