Multiple Failures

On multiple occasions I failed to get beyond the first few pages of these books, for many and varied reasons (including the pages on my paperback edition being too yellowed). Some books I have eventually read from cover to cover (Slots 1-16 and others). Others I am still trying to complete (bravely I have entered many of them on my 2019 TBR list). Several I almost certainly will never restart because life is too short.
