State of the To-Be-Read Shelf: February
They’re shelved in order of publication date. And they’re growing. Last month they only took up one shelf. Now we’re on two, with a possibility of three. I shudder to think what March will look like.
Look at ’em. They taunt me. They call me dirty names and say nasty things about the way I do my hair. How can anyone choose what to read next? One book at a time, I guess. One book at a time.
