Mount TBR 2019 discussion

I’m starting small, because, although my TBR is immense, I also have no self-control in bookstores and I’m sure I won’t be able to resist shiny new purchases!

Good luck! Every year I tell myself that I won't buy so many new books until I read more of what I have on my shelves. I just can't help myself! :)

Ha! I know that feeling! Good luck with your climb and happy reading!!

Thank you, Callie73, E, and Jessika!

1. The 2016 editin of Rebecca Solnit’s Hope in the Dark: Untold Histories, Wild Possibilities

2. Oliver Sacks, Oaxaca Journal

3. Elena Passarello’s Animals Strike Curious Poses. I try to not think about its title, because it instantly re-implants Prince’s ‘When Doves Cry’ as an ear worm in my mind. It has a beautiful cover and wildly inventive and beautiful prose.

4. Rebecca Solnit, The Faraway Nearby

5. Nell Stroud, Josser

6. Paul Kalanithi, When Breath Becomes Air

7. Paul Bloom, Against Empathy

8. Dani Shapiro, Hourglass: Time, Memory, Marriage

Gotta say you and I came here for about the same reason. I held back with new buys for a while.
Better luck for you

It only deterred me for a couple of months too — now I am back to my acquisitive ways! Good luck to you too, Phrodrick!
