Welcome Back, Readers!
Why is getting rid of books so hard? We got some lovely new “grown up” bookcases and it’s meant I’ve had to be ruthless in deciding which books I’m keeping!
Right now my TBR book cart has 87 “backlist” books and it’s appalling! These don’t include hard covers or nonfiction or ebooks. That’s a whole other animal!
Here are 21 for ’21 I’m committed to read this year. Do you see any I should prioritize? Or any I should skip? Let’s discuss in the comments!
