My TBR is huge as my reading wrestles with quilting and geology (lots of walks). Titles released since 2010 do not necessarily reflect my taste as I am given boxes of books for release: my 'read' list indicates my preferences. Funds permitting, all books that have stayed with Bookcrossers in the past will be off on a RABCK journey when they have been read.
