In my defense I should tell you that I have been very busy reading as a Round 1 Judge for the Cybils Award. I still want to do some reading for potential Printz Award books but that will have to wait until January.
How'd you do on your Fall TBR?
Well I'm very nearly a year behind on my TBR - I read my books in order of acquisition except for books for review and books for challenges. And I wanted to have my Christmas books from last year read by this Christmas and this is not going to happen. So. Lovely books on your winter one - Unsheltered is highly recommended!
ReplyDeleteI have had Bear Town on my TBR for so long, but never quite get to it.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Winter 2018 TBR pile.
I didn't get to most of the books on my autumn TBR either. You're not alone there.
ReplyDeleteBefore We Were Yours was a great read, though!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
You should definitely give yourself more credit; you did really well on your Fall TBR, especially since you were doing CYBILS reading! I loved The Great Alone and really liked Beartown. I also have Becoming on m list.
ReplyDeleteI've heard such good things about Beartown...I hope you enjoy it and have a great week. - Katie
ReplyDeleteA big yes to Unsheltered. I am also terribly interested in Absolutely Remarkable Thing.
ReplyDeleteI got about half of my Autumn TBR done, which wasn't bad, but not great either.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2018/12/18/top-ten-tuesday-190/
I want to read "Transcription."
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Beartown and Transcription, both are very different from what I had expected. Good luck on your winter tbr pile.
ReplyDeleteYou still did pretty well on your Fall TBR, considering how long it was. Good luck on your Winter TBR! I bought The Great Alone when it was on sale over Black Friday Weekend, but I don't know when I'll get to it. I figured that it was something I was interested in and it was at a ridiculously low price, so why not pick it up before I want to read it?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to read more Kate Atkinson sometime. Happy reading!
