Cybils Nonfiction: As a round-2 judge I read 21 books for this category.
I really feel great about my reading list accomplishments here. Out of 32 books on this list, only two weren't completed. Pretty good for me. Of course, the Cybils finalists HAD to be finished and most of the other books I needed to read for book club or I already had checked out/on hold. Tricky way to influence the results, huh?

Good work! I look forward to reading your thoughts on The Girl with the Louding Voice!
ReplyDeleteI haven't even done any research on the book. It was a book club selection picked by others.
DeleteYou did great! I'm very impressed.
ReplyDeleteI listened to the audiobook of Dune a few years ago and thought it worked well for me - the chunky physical copy I had sat on my shelf was far too intimidating! :D Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMy Spring TBR.
I have both the audiobook and the ebook version of Dune so hopefully I can conquer it this year.
DeleteHamnet sounds interesting, I've added to my Goodreads TBR but i don't think I'll get to it anytime soon. Happy reading! My TTT https://readwithstefani.com/upcoming-readathons-and-spring-tbr/
ReplyDeleteYou did well with your winter reading list. Good luck this spring.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on your winter reading list! I haven't finished A Promised Land yet either.

I've had Little Fires Everywhere on my TBR for a million years it seems. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
It was one of those books which benefited from a book club discussion.
DeleteWow! That's a great job on your winter list. You should definitely be proud. Also, A Promised Land is great on audio! It is sooo lengthy but I learned so much!
ReplyDeleteI need to read A Promised Land at some point. I really want to read Little Fires Everywhere at some point as well.

Congrats on your winter reads and happy spring reading. You've got some great reads there
ReplyDeleteGood for you! Looks as though you did really great on your winter TBR. I didn't look at mine because I "know" I failed epically. ;) Hope you enjoy all of your spring TBR titles; I used to watch the Call the Midwife show (SO GOOD) but never did read the novels. Thanks for visiting Finding Wonderland.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good list! I loved Little Fires Everywhere!
ReplyDeleteYou did so well with your winter TBR. Good luck with your spring TBR!
ReplyDeleteWell done on your winter reading list! The only one I've got on my TBR list from your spring goals is the Neri book, which I hope to get to in April or May. How am I already thinking about April and May?!
ReplyDeleteLittle Fires Everywhere has seemed intriguing to me ever since it came out. Plus I think they adapted it for a show as well didn't they? I need to get that.
ReplyDeleteYou did much better on your Winter TBR than I did on my summer one, haha. I really want to read Hamnet and I admire you on the Barrack Obama audio. I love listening to him but it is LONG.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy the last of A Promised Land! Happy reading. :)

Being a Cybils judge is always great motivation for getting books read! I read TONS of MG last year for that reason. THE GIRL WITH THE LOUDING VOICE is one I also want to get to soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
This is a great selection and you can look forward to it! I've given up on trying to make lists, I never stick to it at all. Constantly get distracted by other books you know...!
