Today’s prompt says to list ten new favorites from the last three years, and noted that we could go back a bit further if necessary. It was definitely necessary for me. One year of the last three (2013) had no … Continue reading →

Shelf TBR Priorities in 2015
Every year, I consider joining Adam’s TBR Pile Challenge, and every year, I realize that I can’t. I don’t qualify for it, and haven’t in many years. Back in spring 2011, I whittled both my virtual and physical TBR pile … Continue reading →
