Taming the TBR: Recent Episodes
Taming the TBR
In each super short episode, bestselling author and voracious reader Kerry Schafer takes you through her own preferred book selection process -- based not on reviews or what somebody else thinks you should read -- but instead, on what you'll actually love. She'll share the title and genre, and then read you the back cover copy, the first page, and a random page somewhere near the beginning. After that, the choice is yours. Will this book make your TBR?
In this episode of Taming the TBR, author Kerry Schafer gives you permission to DNF (did not finish) a book. Shocking, we know. She also presents We're All Damaged by Matthew Norman for your consideration. Will it make YOUR TBR list?
Note: The fact that We're All Damaged happens to appear on this particular episode in no way indicates that you might not want to read or finish it.
