Despite some solid efforts in the past couple of years to lower Mount TBR, the pile still looks as high and as wide and as deep as it did in 2017.
To help me remember what treats I have lurking on the bottom of the pile, I try to regularly join in memes like this.

Which A-Z's are hiding on your TBR pile?
Have you read of the books on my list?
Which ones should I prioritise?
Help!
Very impressed that you could find things in your TBR pile to arrange so nicely and alphabetically - I dread to touch mine! And Quiet Flows the Don attracts me, but it's massive, so it requires stamina and dedication.
ReplyDeleteI suspect And Quiet Flows the Don may have to be a future readalong book!
DeleteI would join that readalong!
DeleteExcellent, I'll see how I'm faring after my Moby Dick Readslong.
DeleteWhat a good idea. I will get to it right away! I don't know whether I have all the letters, but let's see what is hidden there.
ReplyDeleteCreative cheats always allowed Lisbeth :-)
DeleteI have read none of the books. I used to have And Quiet Floats the Don on my shelves for many years. However, I gave them away when I moved, thinking I will never read them.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. Now...are you expected to read them as well? :)
ReplyDeleteOne day!!!
DeleteI am so impressed you had an X. I'm tempted to do this...wonder if I could?
ReplyDeleteI thought I might have had to get creative with the X too until I remember my book buying binge when I went to Mexico 2 yrs ago!
DeleteGreat way to remind yourself of all those books you want to get to one of these days. :-)

This is a fun meme! I'm going to have to try it myself. And mine could include And Quiet Flows the Don, too,...I'd totally support a readalong.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read too many on your list, but I do highly recommend Beggar Maid and The Virgin in the Garden.
