Adriana | 3888 comments Which one are you looking forward to the most?

If you mean, "Expanding" or "Exploring," I am amazed at the expanding but I am most intrigued and satisfied by the exploring. The challenges are fun and take me in directions I would not choose for myself.


message 4: by Adriana (new)

Adriana | 3888 comments Haha! I meant which book you are looking forward to but I like your answer. I prefer exploring to find new books although I should really expand from what I regularly read. More adult/classics would be nice every once and a while. Good luck!


message 5: by Jack (new)

Jack Hansen | 357 comments Thank you, Adriana. To answer your original question as intended, I thought I wanted to read the books in order from my TBR list, but it didn't turn out to be so.

I like being pleasantly pleased when I venture into a suggested book by a member or, after reading a review from someone, I am intrigued to read that book before I go to my TBR list. Variety refreshes my mind and being spontaneous is good once in a while.

Next on my TBR list is a book I already own, The Amateur The Amateur by Edward Klein by Edward Klein
