Gianna, your post tickles me! Your oldest book on your TBR shelf is 3 months old?

This might be an interesting topic...my oldest is at least 3 years old!

I suppose it might be the oldest in terms of "been the longest since it was published..." but yes, that made me laugh too. Somewhere in a box around here are summer reading lists I kept from high school because I wanted to read everything on them. So technically my "oldest" in terms of length of time on shelf is probably close to 40 years old! (I should dig them up. Wouldn't it be great if I'd just happened to read all of them since high school and didn't know it?)
