The 2024 Runalong The Shelves Booktempter's TBR Challenge - hosted by imyril

January - Lucky Dip
TBR piles can present huge challenges to us. A feeling of I’m not able to read this because I’ve not read  x, done y at work or got the time. The Womble, one and only Dark Lord of Booktempting, releases you from this burden and so this month you may randomly choose a book by someone you’ve never read before. No pre-conceptions, no expectations and who knows they may be your next favourite thing!
