“Backlog” is in the row I’m working on for CBR10bingo and the rule is it must have been on your TBR pile for at least a year, or the oldest book on your list. “This is easy! I have at least half a shelf of books from 2013 that I haven’t read yet.” Then I thought a little more and realized that I have an even older book, The Hunger Games.

I’m Annoyed You All Made Me Read This (CBR10 BINGO)

In a nutshell: Claire has quit her job without another lined up, in an effort to find something she wants to do. Worth quoting: “When I had a job, I used to fantasize about what I’d do if I didn’t have to work anymore. Go to the gym every day, get really fit, train for a marathon perhaps. Finish Ulysses, and […]
