Oh my goodness I just LOVED John Adams so I hope you do too. I haven’t read Bryson yet but I’ve heard that he’s pretty good. Enjoy your February!
This will be my first Bill Bryson book. Can his book live up to the media hype surrounding his
travelogues? I’m curious. Absolutely loving David McCullough’s John Adams!
(see comment on GR). Making a list for the entire month and READING only these books is the solution to reaching my TBR goal of reducing my backlog by 100 books on 2022. I haven’t purchased a book since 12 December 2021!
Well done on your no purchasing; would that I could be so restrained! I haven’t read any of your planned books apart from the Bill Bryson, which is good but not, I think, his best. Hope you enjoy them. In January I really had a booklist to follow with my NetGalleys and then Annabel’s NordicFINDS challenge, and in February I’ve got a lot of NetGalley books again and will pick a pile out for doing the ReadIndies challenge, so the same. All hopefully from my “old” TBR that my challenge is based around … Good luck and good reading to you!
If I had NetGallery…I’d never be free from TBR!
Thanks for your comments.
I have found Bryson uneven, but A Walk in the Woods was one of his good ones. You should never hesitate to abandon books that aren’t working for you–life is short and there are a lot of books. Abandoning a title still knocks it off the TBR list.
18 books read….82 more to go. If I want to get the TBR -100 books this year
I will have to DNF a few. Tastes change between 2015-2016 compared to what I want to read now.
I’ve decided NOT to read crime fiction books on TBR…they just do not appeal to me. Thanks for your comments!
