I started reading Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time series in early January and managed to finish the first three books by month's end. Being retired has definite perks, including more time to read.
Delighted with the series so far. These are dense fantasy books, far more comprehensive than the TV series on Amazon Prime. I highly recommend for anyone who enjoys fantasy.
No warnings, and I might be interested in a group read at some point, but I have 15 WoT books to get through first!
↬ Are you on track (your own personal one)? I'm on book 15 at the moment, and I believe 7 of those have been usable for this challenge, so all good for me.
↬ What are you reading? I'm currently reading "Rural Diaries" by Hilarie Burton Morgan. I'm really enjoying it.
↬ How happy are you with your selections so far? I'm doing well. I consider 3 to be "okay", 4 to be "good" and 5 to be "outstanding", and so far I only have 3 books that are 2 stars. So that's a pretty good record.
↬ Any recommendations to pass along? I really loved "Stillhouse Lake" by Rachel Caine. It features a strong heroine and an interesting plotline.
↬ Any "don't touch with a ten foot pole" warnings? Well, I hated "The Guersney Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society" because IMO it's a bunch of anecdotes that are told, not shown, but I am squarely in the minority in that opinion.
Also bonus question:
↬ Would anyone be interested in a group read sometime in the future? Depending on the book, absolutely.

I'm currently attempting to read The Final Girls Support Group by Grady Hendrix again. I abandoned it last year.
So far, so good. Everything has been enjoyable.
Recs: Stone Cross by Marc Cameron. Smoke Eaters by Sean Grigsby. The Concrete Blonde by Michael Connelly.
Not yet this year.
Depending on the book and the time frame, sure.

I’ve managed to read 3 books in January which is good. I’m making good progress so far (I’m not back at uni yet so we’ll see what happens…)
↬ What are you reading?
I’m currently reading the 4th book in the Bridgerton series which is Romancing Mr Bridgerton. I like it so far because I love Penelope.
↬ How happy are you with your selections so far?
Yes I’ve been happy so far - I’ve been in a romance mood and reading short novels that don’t have complicated plots.
↬ Any recommendations to pass along?
Not at the moment.
↬ Any "don't touch with a ten foot pole" warnings?
Not so far luckily.
Also bonus question:
↬ Would anyone be interested in a group read sometime in the future?
Possibly depending on my schedule.

Doing pretty well with six books under my belt. My personal goal is sixty for the year.
↬ What are you reading?
Right now I'm working on two: Leadership in Turbulent Times by Doris Kearns Goodwin, and Nightmare Country by Marlys Millhiser.
↬ How happy are you with your selections so far?
Mostly happy. Right now I'm really liking the first book, not so sure about the second, which I only started a couple of days ago.
↬ Any recommendations to pass along?
The High House by Jessie Greengrass.
↬ Any "don't touch with a ten foot pole" warnings?
Not really. Those I tend to weed out by carefully reading reviews.
↬ Would anyone be interested in a group read sometime in the future?
Like a book club? That might be interesting.

I will have to check out the Doris Kearns Goodwin book. She's always a good read.
