Usually we make monthly TBRs. But looking at all the books we’ve collected over the last year or so we decided we really wanted to actually think long-term and try to get a better handle on our stacks of unread books.
Indiana’s 2021 TBR
I’m hoping to tackle some of the books that have piled up lately, a mix of fantasy, nonfiction, children’s lit and contemporary fiction. While I’m sure to add a few more to this list as the year goes on, I want to at least get through all of these. Wish me luck!
