Here we go!
This is year FIVE of Tackling the TBR and I finally have things sort-of under control. My ultimate goal is to get under 500 books, but I also have to be realistic - just think of all the books not even written yet that I will want to read. When I started this mess I was at well over 5,000 books on the TBR, so to be where I am now is pretty incredible.
I will post on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and last day of the month.

ReplyDeleteI'm not sure you really mean that, lol
DeleteNot really, no.
DeleteHow was 'France on Trial'? I'm likely to be @ the Mall on Monday, is it worth picking up?
If you already know a good deal about the Vichy government, yes. I liked it well enough and learned a lot, but there were so many people I was unfamiliar with, it was kind of hard to keep track of everyone and who was in charge of what. My knowledge of Vichy is very limited so in hindsight, I should have read about the government and people first in-action so to speak, instead of starting at the end with this major trial.
DeleteI think I'm OK with Vichy although mostly because of reading about the French Resistance so much... I'll check it out and see what I feel. Immediate post-War France was a bit of a strange place for a number of reasons...
DeleteOh, for sure! They just didn't really know what to do with themselves after the war ended. I think you'd get a lot more out the book than I did, since you have the knowledge base of who was who and what was going on during the war itself.
DeleteThat is a lot of books to be "currently reading," says the woman who sticks to a "one book at a time" reading strategy.
ReplyDeleteI immediately put all ARCs and publisher/author/marketing gifts on my 'currently reading' shelf to try and shame myself into reading them before whatever catches my eye at the library. I am not actively reading all of them right now.
DeleteYou are currently reading all of them? Wow. I can do max 2 books at a time.
ReplyDeleteI am a big mood reader, so I have to have a lot of variety for whatever I am interested in at that particular moment. I can juggle quite a few non-fiction at a time, but fiction I read so quickly, usually just a couple of hours, that there isn't even time to have more than one going.

Your read all those books. If I pick things up I might get my tbr lower too.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a loooooooong struggle to get my TBR down to something manageable and I still have a long way to go. Plus I still read so many books not even on my TBR, that some weeks I make no progress at all. But I post on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and last day of the month, so feel free to join in, however you want to keep track!
