Oh ... wow! This list is ... something else.I usually try to fill as many prompts as I can from my existing TBR, but I'm going to have to do some serious bending this time, I think. Still I'm very excited to see how it goes!
I am taking the ATY challenge as well and will allow overlaps between both challenges, although I'll try to keep them to a minimum. The same goes for re-reads. We'll see how it goes.
As usual, books subject to change as the year progresses and the TBR fills up once again.
