@kimlockhartga @bookstodon mine is tiny, but it’s all big, difficult books I’ve been meaning to read for decades. I’m very good at avoiding them and diving into the next fantasy or thriller I come across. Just managed #MidnightsChildren and have #100YearsOfSolitude lined up so maybe this is the year :)
