These days, I tend to steer clear of forming any sort of definitive tbr plans/lists. Simply put: I’m a creature of whims and suck at them. Which I suppose makes me a moody goose, but it keeps my reading palate varied and spontaneous. I enjoy the surprise reads around life’s corners, the kind that can’t …
