Last year I had planned to read Elmore Leonard books, Ed McBain books, several Len Deighton books. I plan to get to some of those in January, Feb. and March. Just some examples. Most of the books on those shelves I have had longer than a year or two. I have been planning just to read real books, but I sure do have a lot of books on the Kindle that have been there a year or two.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-32558331207378722602014-12-14T20:11:23.170-08:002014-12-14T20:11:23.170-08:00Tracy, how does one decide what's on one's...Tracy, how does one decide what's on one's TBR pile between January through April? There are hundreds of books and ebooks on mine but I don't have specific lists for each of the months. I just read what catches my fancy at that particular moment. Not the best way to clear one's TBR pile!Prashant C.

I borrow books from my son and my husband a lot though... and those books will have to wait until April.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-52565848679180488032014-12-13T14:51:58.261-08:002014-12-13T14:51:58.261-08:00Good luck with doing this.
