A Look Back At My Winter 2019/20 TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. One of last year’s topics was My Winter 2019/20 TBR and I thought it would be fun to check how many I actually read. I have to say, given my past record on lists like this, the results were surprising.

I wonder if it will be a similar story when I come to look back on My Spring 2020 TBR?

Payback (DI Charley Mann #1) by R.C. Bridgestock – the first in a new crime series from the husband and wife team behind the novels featuring DI Jack Dylan. Read and reviewed (links from titles will take you to my review)

Mrs. P’s Book of Secrets by Lorna Gray – ‘There are no white shrouded spectres here, no wailing ghouls. Just the echoes of those who have passed, whispering that history is set to repeat itself.’ Read and reviewed

Well, what do you know – a full house! Of course, it did help that a lot of the books I put on my list were for blog tours. If you had a Winter TBR list, did you get through all the books you planned to read?
