One Day I’ll Read…
It’s no secret that we both have extremely long TBR lists, a mix of books we own, sequels to books we love, books by authors we love and classics we said we’ll read. However, like every other bibliophile, there are books on our TBRs that are so far down on the list that they probably shouldn’t be counted. So, we decided to compile a short list of five books/series we’ve said we’ll read one day, even if that is years away.
