TSR Reading Challenge 2024

Am starting with Agatha Christie, super excited to finally read her novels only taken me forever to do so

I feel like I should read one at some point too – let me know if they're any good!

My goal is to read 12 books this year , might not seem many but it's 11.5 more than what I managed last year
On my list to read are the Thursday murder club series by Richard Osman, and the Silo trilogy by Hugh Howey (a show made Silo was released last year based on the books and was )

I am also interested as to whether these are any good as I've heard incredibly mixed reviews!

I enjoyed the Thursday murder club! Hope u do as well

Nah it isn’t but it’s still a good read but it didn’t make me want to read the rest if u get me

Its been a while since we've done a reading challenge on TSR (I think the last one might have been in 2020)

The aim of the challenge is to pick a reading goal you're happy with (you can increase or decrease your goal too), and share the books you're reading along the way in this thread



Good luck!

Icebreaker questions
What book(s) are you currently reading?
Did you get any books for Christmas?
How many books are you aiming to read this year?
How many books did you read in 2023?

Wow I really enjoyed the first one I read - the Murder of Richard Ackroyd. Incredibly well written, you can imagine the whole scene and the writing isn't hard to follow at all. Definitely recommend! I was thinking it would take time to settle into Christie's writing style but it's very seamless to get into, not like maybe Conan Doyle where you have to get into it a bit.
I'm onto the Secret Adversary next and already excited by the prologue

Also re:Richard Osman's murder series, I really enjoyed it and have read all of the books so far. I think my favourite is the 2nd one

Hi all again!

Books currently reading
Picture of Dorian Gray - about 3 chapters in. But I'm also halfway through Lockwood and Co2, halfway through Sorcery of Thorns, and halfway through Renegades. Honestly I should probably finish those first 😂

Books for Christmas
When Breath Becomes Air, Fourth Wing, Powerless, Bad Science, Fable. I've read two of these since.

Book Goal 2024
24 for 2024! Realistically I'm going to struggle for time so I think this is realistic of an average of 2 a month.

Book Count 2023
Uhhh maybe like 7? I had a HUGE book slump last year. My goal was 35 (highest I've ever done is 56), and I did not deliver 😭 Every Christmas though I get excited for it again - so I'm strategically planning out the ones I think I will love most in between the ones I might not, so I have something to look forward to if I'm currently reading a bad book 😂


The books I'm most excited for this year are Fourth Wing, King of Scars, Reckless (when it comes out), The Atlas Six and maybe I can force myself to finish HOO series with Mark of Athena

Also some of you are such fast readers - like how are you human?! Wish I had that level of commitment

yoo how is Renegades going so far ? its by the same author who've written Cinder right ?
i kindof recall reading it earlier

Love this
Similarly to Fez, going for 40 --> 45 this year!

SAMMMMEE, hallooo my name is harry i aim to read 100 books this year while juggling a levels I have already read 4, reading my 5th one now. I have a bad habit once i start books I can't put them down so iend up reading a 500 page book in 24 hours

this is the realest thing ever, my aim this yr is 125+ along with my a levels and im on my 8th book for the year i have half of it left i think so 300 pages, not too bad.

yeah i just finished from blood and ash, i like to read books that are series and realised there are SIX BOOKS in the series, RIP revision. Plus which agatha christie books have u read?
