The TBR 22 in ’22 Challenge

This challenge is hosted by Gillion at Rose City Reader. Basically it is a challenge set up to help get through some books that have been on your TBR piles for far too long. The rules can be found here. I’m bad for setting up TBRs that I never follow through on, so this challenge should help me to change this.

(January 15 edit: I was going to be random in the books I chose, but instead I identified 22 that have been unread from various TBR lists over the past couple of years.) My list of 22 books is as follows (I’ll mark them as read as I go along):
