Well done, Suzanne! I am close but I don't have much enthusiasm for the last two tasks. You'd think finding an Oxford book would be easy, and I do have one, but it's not top of my list right now. I should set myself a goal. End of August, maybe?

Plenty of time ...

I've just updated my list and see I have only one category to fill in now - but it's the Book Set at Christmas one, and since I tend to leave Christmas books until December, I might not complete this until the end of the year unless I happen to stumble by chance into a Christmas book in the meantime.

I finished today! Thanks Wendy for the challenge (and for sending me the last book to complete it!), it was great fun and I can't wait for next year's edition. Now to work on those BFGs...

I finally read my last book - the 'local' one!
Many, many thanks to Eightlegs for sending me Tin Man, set in East Oxford where I live, which I loved!
