That Sherlock audiobook was 70-something hours.  I've been working on it since February. 

What I'm reading:

Madness by Antonia Hylton - hardcover - 28%
The Five: The Untold Lives of the Women Killed by Jack the Ripper by Hollie Rubenhold - ebook KU - 18%
Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Caroline Fraser - ebook library loan - 41% (I need to check this back out and finish it)
Everybody Knows by Jordan Harper - paperback - 4%
Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid - ebook Kobo - 42%
A Night Too Dark by Dana Stabenow - audio - 7% (only started this morning lol)

What's next:

I think I'm going to do my best to bust these down before I even think about starting something new.  Wish me luck on that.  😂 Also, Kaige, if you're reading this, I did what you said and started putting $1 aside for every book I finished.

According to my spreadsheet, I've read 125 books this year.  I guess now I know why my writing has been suffering this year.  Hahaha.  Really ought to update GR and Storygraph, although at this point, I might just give up until the new year.

I have a vague memory of "On the Night of the Seventh Moon". I read the hell out of Victoria Holt's stuff in high school when my friends and I would give each other romance novels for our birthdays. (What’s a more appropriate gift for a student attending an all-girl Catholic high school than a book full of smut?)

I'd never read anything of hers before, but I belong to an online book group for gothic romantic suspense novels and this was the Nov/Dec buddy read. It was a bit crazy, but I did enjoy it.

Oh man, I love that you guys did that. And even funnier considering the circumstances.

That's a really decent list and should definitely count towards your achievements for the year!!
