When I read about Roof Beam Reader’s 2019 TBR Pile Challenge, where the goal is to read at least 12 books that have been on my “to be read” list for at least a year (thus published before 2018), I decided to join in:

I donated thousands of books to More Than Words when we moved. Still miss some of them....Will be interested to see how you do on this challenge!
ReplyDeleteI feel akin to you because of your TBR List.
ReplyDeleteI've been intending to read Avalon for a very long time, because I so enjoy Anya Seton, but I don't own it, so it's not a TBR.
I do own Those Who Save Us and really thought so highly of it, but when I was close to the halfway mark, 3 books I'd been waiting for at the library came through all at once. You have reminded me that I very much want to go back to it, because it was so extraordinary. I will put it on my 2019 TBR list.
And lastly, as much as I appreciate Kate Atkinson as a writer, I had so much difficulty personally with Life after Life, that I retired it at 100 pages. But so many people loved it! I feel it's my deficiency, not Atkinson's. So enjoy!
Best wishes with your Challenge--
The only book I have read on your list is Life After Life and I loved it. I still haven't read A God in Ruins, about the same family. You have some authors on your list that I need to read... Spencer-Fleming and Pavone for example.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to hear how you feel about Avalon. I want to read Dragonwyck by her, but the plot of Avalon sounds super cool!
