Mount TBR

Simple, really: Mt TBR has two levels, the books I already have and the books I’ve just noted as “should read some day”. The latter list may be considered a wishlist, if you’d like to surprise me with my favourite sort of surprise.

In addition to what I get around to recording here, I have a board on Pinterest dedicated to books I like the look of. And lists everywhere.
