I always plan lists for what I will read each “season” of the year but rarely stick to those lists.
I made a list for this winter, but, once again, I strayed from it. I don’t know what I was thinking by making this list. There was no way I was going to read all these books in three months.
My winter TBR included these books:
Christy by Catherine Marshall
Little Men by Louisa May Alcott
The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman
Tooth and Claw by Craig Johnson
World Travel by Anthony Bourdain
The Christmas Swap by Melody Carlson
A Christmas Quilt by Melody Carlson
The Two Towers by J.R.R. Tolkien
The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Orczy
The Clue in The Diary by Carolyn Keene
The Sign of the Twisted Candles by Carolyn Keene
Winter Murder by Agatha Christie
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir R.A. Dick
The Hardy Boys: The Mystery of the Flying Express by Franklin W. Dixon
The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley
The Bobbsey Twins on Blueberry Island by Laura Lee Hope
What I actually read from the list:
Death Comes to Marlow by Robert Thorogood
A Quilt for Christmas by Melody Carlson
The Hound of the Baskerville’s by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Tooth and Claw by Craig Johnson
Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes
The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie
Shepherd’s Abiding by Jan Karon
Christy by Catherine Marshall
The Tuesday Night Club by Agatha Christie
The Answer is No by Fredrik Backman
Every Living Thing by James Herriot
The Sign of the Twisted Candles by Carolyn Keene.
I will have a smaller list I plan to choose from for my spring TBR tomorrow and I have a feeling I won’t read all those books either.

Did you like Scarlett Pimpernel? I loved it. I was quite surprised how fun it was and how ‘modern’ it was (sort of). I also have a fondness of Body in the Library. It was the second Agatha Christie I read before I had a handle on who she was (and how prolific). I was about 15.

I never stick to my reading plans… I absolutely have to be in the right mood to read and often overlook books I have at home to read new ones I find at the library instead.

I think the most important thing is if you enjoyed the books you read! I surely haven’t read many this winter. I need to spend more time reading to decompress. I always confuse Robert Thorogood with Richard Osman. I think it’s because they both do murders, and the book covers are so similar.

I can never stick to my list either, Lisa. I’m quite the mood reader. 💖📚

Mine always is! And I always get distracted by other books. But these lists at least remind me of what I wanted to get to!

I’m afraid to even look at what I said I was going to read versus what I actually did. I think you did a pretty good job with your list.

Being a mood reader means I like making lists of what I want to read but don’t stick to it. 🙂
