Update 3/5/2020:
So far, I’ve read 8 books from the TBR cart
A Ring of Endless Light by Madeleine L’Engle
Miss Buncle’s Book by D.E. Stevenson (a lovely gift from BrokenTune)
The Girls of Slender Means by Muriel Spark
Mrs. Tim of the Regiment by D.E. Stevenson
It Walks by Night by John Dickson Carr
Miss Pym Disposes by Josephine Tey (buddy read!)
Possession by A.S. Byatt
Some Tame Gazelle by Barbara Pym
Faithful by Alice Hoffman
Sleeping Beauty by Ross MacDonald
My plan at this point is to stop replacing books as I read, and instead to do a quarterly TBR cart shake-up where I swap out books that aren’t appealing to me and add new books to the cart to replenish it. Thus, there will be a cart shake-up on 4/1/2020. I already know that I will be swapping out several books.
