The VIRTUAL Mount TBR Reading Challenge discussion

The original plan was to read books borrowed from friends, but the library sirens have been calling me, and online borrowing makes it so easy to give in, so up to Mt Mindolluin I go.

The stack of borrowed books includes:
Yesterday’s Weather
Classic Welsh Short Stories
Island Practice
The Plot Against America
As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust
Black Eyed Susans
The Company of Sherlock Holmes
Jane Steele
Finders Keepers
Patrimony
