This year, I really need to get a pile of
paperbacks off the tbr and bookshelf, and out to the charity shops!
Every month I'll be trying to tackle a few that I'm not sure I'm going
to like based on gut feelings, reading tastes or Goodreads reviews. On
this list I'll indicate what I managed to read, what was DNFed and if
any of them are keepers! I'll be adding to the list through the year and
the challenge will end in December.
Progress update: I've read two out of the three set aside for the month so that is a success!

The idea is to read books with a royal theme ie Kings, Princesses,
Queens, Dukes, Knights, Castles, Kingdoms, Quests etc. This challenge is
hosted by Adriana Garcia over at https://shesgotbooksonhermind.blogspot.com/ .
Here are the books from my tbr that I hope to get read this year for
the challenge. I've picked 15 to try and get Queen status but if I do
well, more may be added!
Progress update: I set aside one book to read this month and I did that last week so nothing has changed for this challenge.
1) David Baldwin-Henry's Last Love
2) Shrabani Basu-Victoria and Abdul
3) Jane Bingham-The Tudors
4) Lady Colin Campbell-The Royal Marriages (read-4 star)

I'm intending to catch up on quite a few series this year, starting
with a few of the shorter series that have been lurking on my shelves
for a while! If I can clear them it will help in the battle to reduce
the never-ending tbr!
The Plan is to start this year with a few series that I really must
finish or catch up with. Once I've done them all I'll extend the
challenge by adding more series on until I run out of days in the year.
The challenge will run all year.
Progress update: I read the first series of the year so that's a good start!
