I’m really disappointed that we will no longer have daily challenges, though sounds like there will still be some on Instagram.
These daily challenges were a great way to connect with other bloggers.
The reading-in-place times don’t work well for me, I’m working. So I’ll be able to do it only once a day, at 9:30 pm. So we’ll see how this goes for me.

I’m setting my goal at 525 pages, that is, 75 pages per day. 

Here are the books I plan to read from. Some I’m currently reading.

1. Killer, Come Back to Me: The Crime Stories of Ray Bradbury
2. Le livre de Perle, by Timothée de Fombelle
3. Vesper Flights, by Helen Macdonald
4. Psalm 118: Commentary by Theophan the Recluse
5. Audiobook: The Big Four, by Agatha Christie
6. Audiobook: Pandemia, by Franck Thilliez
