The latest additions : Hunger makes the wolf by Alex Wells – rec’d by KJ Charles, although checking my list I’ve already added this one. Way back 2017 Liz Burke’s review had me adding it. I think I’ll have to bump it up the list. Jacob’s room is full of books by Susan Hill. – […]
Well, it has been quite a while since I’ve done a TBR update, April to be precise. Since then I’ve only added 13 titles. I think that’s not too bad… it makes for a total of 180 on the list, with 26 added this year. And I’ve read 11 of them, so that’s pretty damn […]

Only 4 added this month, so a total of 36 added in 2017. Nine of which I’ve read. That’s not terrible, is it?
Tarr, Judith – A Wind in Cairo – added because of the author’s Tor.com article “Aravis reminds me of why I wrote A Wind in Cairo, which is partly about correcting the issues I saw in The Horse and His Boy, and mostly about girls and horses. And the Crusades. From the other side.” – […]

These stories are […]
Vaughan, Carrie – Martians Abroad rec’d by Carl – Stainless Steel Droppings Stross, Charles – Empire Games rec’d by the author on Tor.com “It’s a science-fictional spy thriller; so if you can imagine a James Bond movie set in the Star Wars universe? That’s almost exactly not what it’s about.” Erdrich, Louise – Tracks rec’d […]

So, how did I get on with Mount TBR in 2016? I added a whole heap of books, this is both a good thing and a bad thing. Overall I added 48 books, and managed to read ten of them. That’s not bad… is it? Graeber, David – Debt: the first 5,000 years Rec’d by […]
