When I signed up for this challenge last year I expected to read at least 24 library books. Unfortunately, I only read 19 books. I am still having issues with taking out books because of the pandemic. At one time I only read library books. The pandemic brought a library shutdown and I began to think about all of the books I had read from the library that smelled like incense, perfume or something else. Now I am afraid of germs from other patrons. This thought is still captive in my mind and I cannot imagine when I will feel comfortable taking a book out of the library again. I will sign up for the challenge next year but honestly don't know if I can participate.
I read the following books this year this challenge:
The Avignon Affair by Gary McAvoy
Zemindar by Valerie Fitzgerald
The Orchard by Beverly Lewis
The Last Kingdom by Steve Berry
The Porcelain Moon by Janie Chang
The Lemon Curd Killer by Laura Childs
Letters of Trust by Wanda Brunstetter

Great job with the 2023 challenge. Glad you picked up some books this year.
ReplyDeleteYou should look into the hoopla app or your library's app to download eBooks/Audiobooks. That way you avoid the germ issue. I love the apps and borrow most of books in audio or eBooks now. Every once and a while I'll pick up a physical book, but it's so much easier to go on the app browse and borrow. Keep up the library love!
Good idea. I have been getting free magazines from the Libby app. Books and magazines are accessed there through your library card. I just haven't used it for books yet.
