Celia (cinbread19) | 159 comments My #4 is The Collector by John Fowles

message 4: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary | 676 comments Mine is White Noise by Don DeLillo. I've had a mixed experience with his books, but this one sounds interesting.

4. Alias Grace by Atwood, Margaret

Funny I voted for Alias Grace in our January poll but it worked out for me this year. Glad I get to read one of my favorite authors at years end.

I've been "spoiled" these last two months. I just finished The Tree of Man by Patrick White (zzz...), then my #4 for December is The Waves by Virginia Woolf. After that, I really need a new list!

These rules won’t change. If your ready you can post your 2023 lists here. I will delete the 2022 lists on 1/1/23 or there about. We do this to conserve on folders because GR restricts the numbers. Just be sure to label your list 2023 TBR Takedown or something that says 2023. The first number will be drawn on 12/25/22. Your Christmas present from Reading 1001. Best wishes for the holidays if you celebrate and hopefully quality reading time.

Happy New Year, yes I am early but the new TBR takedown starts 1/1/2023 and it starts with #10. What will you be reading?


message 16: by Kristel (new)

Kristel (kristelh) | 5047 comments Mod

message 17: by Pamela (new)

Pamela (bibliohound) | 561 comments My #10 is H is for Hawk. Nice one to start 2023


message 18: by Leni (new)

Leni Iversen (leniverse) | 560 comments 2023 starts The Way of All Flesh for me. Yikes, that sounds sinister. lol


message 19: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Dawn | 1667 comments I enjoyed all of the books folks have mentioned so far: happy reading yall!

My #10 is All about H Hatterr, bout to find out whats its about because I have no clue.


message 20: by Celia (new)

Celia (cinbread19) | 159 comments My #10 is Thousand Cranes

Looking forward to another year with TBR-Takedown!!


message 21: by Gail (new)

Gail (gailifer) | 2121 comments My #10 is Timbuktu which one reviewer refers to as akin to Virginia Woolf at her most coherent. Hmmm. I thought it was about a dog. Oh well, Timbuktu it is.

It is, I've read it twice. Short, quick, and I thought it was worth reading more than once.


message 23: by Gail (new)

Gail (gailifer) | 2121 comments Oh good. Thank you Kristel


message 24: by Diane (new)

Diane Zwang | 1845 comments Mod
My #10 The Devil and Miss Prym by Paulo Coelho. This will be my first Coelho. Reviews from my friends seem to be all over the place.


message 25: by Wayne (new)

Wayne Sweigart | 92 comments The New York Trilogy for me.


message 26: by Dianne (new)

Dianne | 225 comments Anagrams for me.


message 27: by Hilde (new)

Hilde (hilded) | 375 comments Devil and miss Prym for me as well, Diane. I have only read The Alchemist by him before, which I didn’t like, just lots of banalities summarised in one book. Hopefully this is better.

Taking the opportunity to wish you all a Merry Christmas, hope you all get to enjoy some lazy days off.


message 28: by Leni (new)

Leni Iversen (leniverse) | 560 comments I have read both Coelho books on the list, and while I didn't hate them I don't understand why they are on the list and I have zero interest in reading anything else by him. It's a quick read at least!


message 29: by Pip (new)

Pip | 1822 comments My #10 is The Purloined Letter so it should be quick. I resolve to make a good start on both Annual and Quarterly read next month - but first I have to finish Moby Dick


message 30: by Jamie (new)

Jamie Barringer (Ravenmount) (ravenmount) | 554 comments Looks like I'm reading HG Wells for January, Tono-Bungay. I am also hoping to dive into the annual and quarterly reads early on to get a good start for 2023.


message 31: by Rosemary (new)

Rosemary | 676 comments My number 10 is The Real Charlotte by Edith Somerville & Violet Martin.


message 32: by Patrick (new)

Patrick Robitaille | 1554 comments Mod
Good start for the year: my #10 is the last Perec I have to read from the List: A Man Asleep. Short and very likely to be as pleasant as his other books.

TBR # for February is 22.


message 34: by Leni (new)

Leni Iversen (leniverse) | 560 comments My February read is Wittgenstein's Nephew. A short read for a short month! (Also, the 22 of February is my birthday, so I'm taking this a sign that I will like the book. lol)


message 35: by Jen (new)

Jen | 126 comments Well I completely messed this up, haha. After starting late and so skipping January, I realize I only put 20 books on my list! I guess I'll join you in March...(and will add books for 21, 23, 24).


message 36: by Pamela (new)

Pamela (bibliohound) | 561 comments My #22 is Kafka on the Shore.

Sorry this happened, hopefully all will be well next month:)


message 40: by Gail (new)

Gail (gailifer) | 2121 comments My 22 is Things Fall Apart which Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ tells me I have wanted to read since 2016. Finally will get to it.


message 41: by Dianne (new)

Dianne | 225 comments My 22 is The End of the Affair, I need to find it, I know it is somewhere!


message 42: by Amanda (new)

Amanda Dawn | 1667 comments my 22 is "Here's to you, Jesusa" which I'd been vaguely planning to read for years.


message 43: by Pip (new)

Pip | 1822 comments My #22 is André Gide’s The Immoralist. Not too long, but probably challenging!


message 44: by Patrick (new)

Patrick Robitaille | 1554 comments Mod

message 49: by Patrick (new)

Patrick Robitaille | 1554 comments Mod
This will be interesting: God Bless You, Mr Rosewater by Vonnegut is my #9


message 50: by Pamela (new)

Pamela (bibliohound) | 561 comments My #9 is The Black Dahlia. Should be quite a quick read if a bit gruesome :)
