TTT: Winter TBR

My Winter TBR. I did so terrible on my Fall TBR list, I decided to be honest and list the few books I KNOW I will get to this winter:

My upcoming book club selections: (We haven't selected books for one of my clubs and I've already read one of the three for the other club.)
  • The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt
  • Beartown by Fredik Backman
My Classics Club Spin book:
  • Wide Saragasso Sea by Jean Rhys
Audiobooks:
  • Becoming by Michelle Obama
  • An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green
  • The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
Just because:
  • Unsheltered by Barbara Kingsolver
  • Transcription by Kate Atkinson
  • The Friend by Sigrid Nunez (not pictured)
  • Home After Dark by David Small

How'd I do on my ridiculously long Fall TBR?
