Monday Meme #60


I am reviving this little feature after eight years. You might see a couple recycled from when I did this in 2016, but they were funny then and they are still funny now. Occasionally they will be more introspective or comforting. No matter what, they will be about reading and books.


Side-eye. Leave me alone. I'll read them when I read them!

Happy Reading!

Tackling the TBR | Week 35 | Sept 15 - Sept 21, 2024

    

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.

Hermione is not wrong. The library also saved everyone in The Day After Tomorrow. I would also burn tax codes in the fireplaces to stay warm.
