TBR Takedown Rules

[Kristel]

Mine is Seize the Day by Saul Bellows. It's a short one.

[Leni]

My 19 is The Master and Margarita. That has been on my tbr for a while!

[Gail]

My #19 is Farewell My Lovely which should be fun.

[Pamela]

My #19 is The Go-Between

[Diane]

19. Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time by Mark Haddon

[Amanda]

My #19 is "To the North" by Eliza eth Bowen: excited to see how it goes.

[Rosemary]

Mine is The Princess of Cleves by Madame de La Fayette. Not one I'm very excited about, but hoping it will surprise me.

[Pip]

Mine is Alain de Bottom’s On Love. Can’t remember why I chose it!

[Jamie]

I thought about trying to dive back in to this game for the last 3 months, but my #19 is Agnes Gray, which I already finished a couple weeks ago. I may try to finish some of the books already selected in the months while I was trying to dig myself out of an odd sort of reading slump. That way I at least occomplish the goal of finishing half of my TBR game list by the end of the year, even if not with extra points. :)

[Wayne]

My #19 is The Long Goodbye. Can't let Gail have all the noir fun.

[Karen]

Mine is fitting for the time of year...Interview with the Vampire.

Great title for October, happy reading.

[1001shelf]

November tbr # is 18. What will you be reading?

[Pamela]

My #18 is Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry.

[Diane]

My 18. The End of the Affair by Graham Greene 160 pages. A nice short one so I am happy about that.

[Leni]

My 18 is The Drowned World by J.G. Ballard. Also a short one, fortunately as I've fallen behind. I haven't read September's or October's books yet in spite of really wanting to read them both.

[Gail]

My # 18 is the Spy That Came in from The Cold, also a short one.

[Pip]

Mine is Julian Barnes’ The Sense of an Ending. For the 3rd month in a row I have been unable to find the book I know I have owned on my actual TBR shelf. So much for Death Cleaning. More importantly I seem to have lost my much tattered and annotated copy of 1001 books!

[Amanda]

My #18 is 'day of the dolphin' which is short and on open library. Just read the premise and curious about how that's going to be pulled off.

[Rosemary]

Mine is The Melancholy of Resistance which I know nothing about, and it looks rather daunting. But I'll give it a try.

[Patrick]

FINALLY! I get to read a Barthelme set of short stories (Come Back, Dr Caligari). For good measure, I will also read Amateurs once I am done, that will be the end of Barthelme for me.

[Kristel]

My 18 is A Home at the End of the World, so I will read it in November instead of December.

[Wayne]

My #18 is Sometimes A Great Notion. I read Cuckoo's Nest about 50 years ago so this one is probably overdue.

[1001shelf]

December tbr # is 8. What will you be reading.

And do you want to continue tbr for next year. So far those that have responded the majority would like to continue.

Happy reading.

[Pamela]

My #8 is Winter by Ali Smith. Appropriate choice.

I would want TBR takedown to continue, I look forward to each month’s number.

[Gail]

I also would like TBR to continue and I love that Pamela got Winter for this month’s read but unfortunately I my #8 is Journey to the End of the Night….not how I wanted to end the year.

[Daisey]

My 8 is Mrs. Dalloway, and I would like to continue the TBR Takedown next year. It’s probably the part of the group I’m the best at keeping up with, although I didn’t get every month this year.

[Diane]

8. Empire of the Sun by J.G. Ballard. I am happy with this choice and I get to watch a movie after, sweet.

I want TBR to continue too:)

Don't forget to get started on next year's list. You will have to post before December 25th.

[Leni]

My 8 is Bel-Ami by Guy de Maupassant. Probably suitable enough for a December read.

I really want the TBR takedown to continue. It's one of my favourite reading challenges across all my groups. I've fallen off a bit and not completed the last couple of months, but I'm hoping to catch up anyway and looking forward to putting next year's list together.

[Kristel]

But it fits, the end of our year in North America is our longest night!

[Kristel]

As Diane said, start putting your list together because it needs to be done before 12/25.

[Pip]

My #8 is Camus’ The Rebel. I’m looking forward to it - and, yes, please, to TBR continuing. I have my list prepared already!

[Rosemary]

I really hope this will continue! I will keep the books that haven't been picked this year and add some longer ones for more of a challenge.

[Kristel]

It will continue, the faithful want it so we will keep it.

[Amanda]

My #8 and final TBR is "Billiards at Half-Past Nine". I've loved doing the tbr the past few years, but I think I'm just going to plow through all of the books I have left on the list in the new year until I'm finished (but will be doing the annual, and BOTMs and quarterlies where applicable)

[Jane]

I would like it to continue as this would be my first year to participate :)

[Karen]

My number 8 is The Red and the black which is the only book I did not want to come up in December but oh well.

I would love to see this challenge back as it is the one I always prioritise. I have drawn up a longlist of potentials already.

[Wayne]

My #8 is Surfacing

Glad to see the game will continue.

I liked Surfacing, I hope you do to.

In preparation for 2024 lists, I put 2022 list in past TBR. You can find your list here.
