Happy Sunday!
Yes, it may be late in the day but it is still Sunday from where I’m typing.
I am woefully behind in writing reviews but, having tried for several time today, it appears I may be in a reviewing slump at the moment. So, I’ll just go with the flow. Reviews may or may not follow this week.
Anyway, while I procrastinated over writing up some of those long overdue reviews today, I had a good look at my living room shelves and … *shock* … it hit me that I need to do a read&cull&sort sometime soon.
See, my plan this year was to not stress about my physical TBR and just read what I want. As a result, my main shelves are now double-stacked…and this does not even take into account the shelves and stacks in the spare room, bedroom, and, yes, there are some books in the hall, too.
So, I got to thinking that for 2018 I will try and focus on my physical TBR.
The mere thought was intimidating.
Intimidating enough to need some comfort food … Here is where the soup comes in.
Apart from the ongoing buddy reads for science non-fiction, Sherlock Holmes, and my Dame Agatha project, there is one other theme that I am looking to explore more next year – the Suffragettes. But more on that one in a separate post nearer to January.
Is anyone else also thinking abut 2018 projects already?

I like the pix!
I’m thinking of beginning a Dickens re-read in ’18 and to start on a complete Shakespeare journey. I’ve got a complete Shakespeare, Mrs B has hers from college Lit and I just received a complete ebook collection from Manuel Antao in the last couple of months. And it’s something I’ve been contemplating for the last year or two…

The complete works? That is quite an undertaking! I hope you and Mrs B have fun with it! 😀

I’m guessing it’ll be a 3-5 year project…

I’ve joined a reading the world challenge for 2018 via Litsy. I decided 6 books would be enough and I was given 6 countries by the organiser. Fortunately I found some in the library making it much easier that I thought it would be. Love the look of your soup.

A world challenge sounds ace. I’ve seen these before but it is a serious commitment. I like your idea of breaking it down into smaller tasks.
What 6 countries did you pick?

I didn’t pick them they were randomly assigned by the organiser. They are Libya, Guinea-Bissau, Samoa, Switzerland, Madagascar and Mozambique.
