11. A book from the bottom of your TBR pile

[Stina]

I love the intent of this kind of prompt, but this phrasing always frustrates me. WHICH pile? Or do you just mean my list, not a physical pile? And my BookCrossing list or my Goodreads list? And do I need to already possess this book, or are you expecting me to look at my wish list as well?

Anyway, for the purposes of this challenge, I will count any book that I've had listed on Goodreads for at least 5 years and is marked "obtained" as of January 1st of 2019. I will also count any book that I am certain has been in my possession for at least 5 years. The rest of y'all can use whatever criteria you like. I will not judge.

Huh. I'd forgotten that I'd set actual criteria for myself on this one. I went back through my list, though, and the only one that counts is Hotel Pastis: A Novel of Provence, which I used for the book set in a hotel. I mean, I'm allowing double-dipping, so it'll count if it has to, but let's hope it doesn't come to that.
