It occurred to me that I’d left out a major part of my TBR list when I made my initial list of books for this challenge. My Amazon.com wishlist functions mostly as a TBR list for books that are actually located at my local library, and some of the books on that list have been there a looooong time. So, I went ahead and picked 12 books that actually physically exist in my house as the main picks for this challenge, and then picked the 12 alternates from my library TBR list.
Here’s my final list for this challenge:
