OK. First of all, I'm just impressed! That's a lot of books. And you kept track of them all (my downfall sometimes). And out of all those books, the only one I remember reading as "The Spy Who Came in From the Cold" back in 1984.
Now to see if I can cram 48 more into the rest of the year so I can reach my Mount TBR ultimate goal....
I'm thoroughly impressed! I have been sitting here wondering if I will even make the goal myself since I'm only on pace for 80-something...
You've done an outstanding job!
