Compartment K
by Helen Reilly
Mystery, Canada | Published: 1964 (first 1955) | Goodreads | my rating: 4

To Be Read (TBR) Pile Challenge 2022

2022 To Be Read (TBR) Pile Challenge
hosted by Roof Beam Reader
January 1 to December 31, 2022 (details)
#TBR2022RBR
GOAL: Read 12 books on your TBR shelf. Each of these 12 books must have been on your bookshelf or “To Be Read” list for AT LEAST one full year. This means the book cannot have a publication date of 1/1/2021 or later (any book published in the year 2020 or earlier qualifies, as long as it has been on your TBR pile). Caveat: Two (2) alternates are allowed, just in case one or two of the books ends up in the “did not finish (DNF)” pile.

Mood reader that I am these days makes me hesitant to commit to a list. I have a tentative stack, but will post actual books read as I work towards the twelfth book.
