I’m doing a similar thing with my books each month, but books I’m removing which I’m not sure about I will try the following month as I’m worried about getting rid of a gem.

I’m going to be trying them. That was the concern us on the the premiere chat and in the comments.

How long does it take you to read a novel?
@SavidgeReads3 жыл бұрын
Depends on the novel. A 690 pager took me 5 days with work being bonkers this week. Then a 290 pager took me less than 24 hours as I was off work. So there’s lots of factors but normally 3/4 a week.
