bookworm28's "Bookworm's 'TBR' List"I always carry around a little notebook where I jot down books I’ve read about or been recommended. Some I actually have sitting around my house waiting to be read; others I’ve read reviews of recently; of course, there are those that have been languishing on my "to read" list for years. I’m also currently working on the Pulitzer Prize Fiction Winners list and Booker Prize shortlists, but I hope to start making a dent in this one soon. |
