Spell It Out Reading Challenge 2024 - Wrap Up & Mini Reviews

Happy Saturday everyone!  Today, I'm featuring my wrap up and mini reviews of my Spell It Out Reading Challenge 2024.  I started this challenge at the beginning of last July (you can see my original tbr here) and now that I've completed it, I figured I'd better share my results since I somehow neglected to do so for my 2023 challenge.  As a reminder, the rules for this challenge are pretty easy because you just have to read books to spell out your name by using book titles. So I read 14 to spell books beginning with the letters that make up my first name and blog name, LAUREN ALWAYS ME.  Without further ado, keep reading to see what I thought of the books I read for this challenge: ❋   ❋  ❋   The Library of the Dead  ( Edinburgh Nights  #1) by T.L.

The Friday 56 (With Book Beginnings): Nekropolis (Matt Richter #1) by Tim Waggoner

    On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, currently hosted by  Anne @ My Head Is Full of Books , and Book Beginnings, hosted by  Rose City Reader .  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook.
