Annabel from AnnaBookBel carries on the work started by Cathy of 746 Books . You can read her kick-off post here.
I have read 8 of the 20 so far, which is not bad. One of that 8 is the biggest by page count (but probably one of the easiest reads), so I’m feeling pretty good about being able to check this one off the list. Sadly, I’ve written about only…let me check my math here…none of them. That’s not good. I have 80% of a post done for The Devils, but am so busy second-guessing myself that it’s now been 7 days since I meant to post it. Ooops. I think I’ll catch up on those pretty quickly. I hope to, anyway.
Not that it matters, but I’ve also finished one off of my Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Summer 2026 to-Read List (That Aren’t on My 20 Books Challenge) list, too.
This summer, my 20 are:
(subject to change, as is allowed, but I’m going to resist the impulse to tweak as much as I can).
What do you think of this list? Any warnings—or anything you think I should be really excited about?
