Tackle That TBR Vol 6: I'm Sorry, Do You Have Some Prior Commitment?

[laurel [the suspected bibliophile]]

Welcome to Tackle That TBR, the annual challenge where I give you a list of 52 prompts, and you choose how you wish to complete them.

This challenge runs from January 1st-December 31st, 2023

This year's theme is from the phenomenal movie, The Devil Wears Prada.

If you have not seen the movie, this is the sign to see the movie.

As in years past (I cannot believe this it the SIXTH one), you get to choose which option and which prompts. The prompts are listed by category to make it easier to pick. Unlike previous years, however, there are no page limits for completion. Read what you want, how you want, whatever you want. Unless, of course, the prompt specifies otherwise.

OPTIONS
Andy: 12 books
Nigel: 24 books
Miranda Priestly: 52 books
