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.

One of my favorite 1001 Books. Enjoy, Kristel!!
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?

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

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

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.

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



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.


22. The Hound and the Baskervilles by Doyle. This has been on my list for years so glad to finally get to it.

Happy upcoming Birthday, a good sign indeed.

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