35559 Hello everyone! So glad to be part of the dark side!

I am M from the beautiful city of Vancouver Canada. So excited to be doing Tower Teams again. I love all things Science Fiction and Fantasy with a little historical fiction thrown in. I am willing to expand to other genres.

I am just wondering if I am the only one who already has a partial TBR for the challenge? I have a mountain of books I want to climb this year. My shelf is Tower V.
