Unsurprising, the book was better (CBR10 Bingo)

August 30, 2018 by Dome'Loki 2 Comments

“Backlog” is in the row I’m working on for CBR10bingo and the rule is it must have been on your TBR pile for at least a year, or the oldest book on your list.  “This is easy!  I have at least half a shelf of books from 2013 that I haven’t read yet.”  Then I thought a little more and realized that I have an even older book, The Hunger Games.  When the book trilogy was being released everyone was raving and I was all, “I’ll […]
