One year I read the very first page of my TBR....since my display is set to 30, it was doable and it got rid of a chunk of my oldest! I had to remember which one was last, though, since it changes every time you read one.

Enjoy! These titles are all new to me!

oooh, the title sounds ominous!!!! Enjoy!!!!

If I stay has been on my TBR for a while....good luck!!!!!
