That is an incredible strike rate for 'unread books on shelf' - I think mine would be the reverse!

😂😂😂 same! I'm very envious of this situation and can't wait to live vicariously through the satisfaction she feels after reading the remaining books!

Sounds like you have some excellent picks and reading to do! I’m doing the same thing myself… or trying to. Like you said new shiny published books can be tempting!

I’m currently reading Anita de Monte and really enjoying it! Also thinking I need a book buying ban, as my tbr pile is in danger of toppling over

12 is definitely doable and wow I'm jealous-- I'm participating in a full year book-buying-ban but I still don't think I'm going to get to all my physical TBR 🫣🫣

Ooooo and Becoming was SO GOOD, I loved it on audio if you can grab it on Libby, Michelle's voice is like a balm to the soul, I cried, I laughed, I left feeling like we were BFFs. 😂

I just read Know My Name last month after having it on my shelf since 2020 and same sentiment, Chanel's voice on audio is a force.

Trick Mirror was fantastic too, you're in for a treat with that one!!

Overall it looks like you have a solid and satisfying few months of reading your shelves ahead which I can only say #goals! 🙌🙌

Know My Name is SO good, Becoming was so great on audio, and I really enjoyed Queen Bee as well!

I might be going against the grain here but I was only meh on Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine and Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win. I felt as though I needed a bit more nuance from both. I'd love to hear your thoughts on Trick Mirror!
