The books I did not finish since I started keeping track in 2023. Either - 1. not my thing, or 2. terrible writing. I'll leave you to decide what category they fall into 😉 Hint - 4 books in cat 1 and only 1 in cat 2.

Goodies from the library. Currently reading "City of Miracles". I'll be in pieces when the series is over 😭 RJB is incredible. Next read will be "A Darker Shade of Magic". Someone put a reserve on it so I can't renew it. Sharing is hard 😞
