I started this year off right. I did not commit to reading too many things and everything was manageable. Fast forward three months and things are quickly spinning out of control. Thank goodness Sandra at Musings of a Book Addict has come along with The Spring Reading Thing. I’m hoping this will give my spring reading some organization and structure.
So here goes, the list of TBR books between now and June 20.
The House at the End of Hope Street by Meena Van PraagBad Teeth by Dustin LongListen to the Squawking Chicken by Elaine Lui- The Antiquarian by Gustavo Faveron Patriau

So what do you think? Is it doable?
52 books or bust 
23 books in 3 months? For me, that is definitely not doable (for me, I am a slow reader). Awesome on you for taking it on though.
Interesting list of books! I’m sure you can do it – good luck!
The same thing happened to me this spring. I don’t know how I ended up with so many books I was planning to read, but BAM April came around the corner and I’m just slammed. SO many good books, though! I love that you had Bellweather Rhapsody on your list (that’s one I actually ended up no requesting because I was so overloaded!).
Five books on my list come out on May 13. How did that happen? Clearly i was not planning ahead.
That’s a great list. Look forward to hearing about Summer House with Swimming Pool as I loved The Dinner. Happy reading!
I know I wouldn’t be able to read that many books in three months, but I am looking forward to hearing about them all! Most of them I haven’t even heard of. I’ve heard The Transcriptionist is good, and I love Terry Fallis, so I can’t wait to hear what you think of his new one.
Great looking list of books there! 23 books in 3 months would be a stretch for me, but I don’t know how many books you typically get through.
You forgot Lotus Eaters! We should read it in May.
Good luck, that is quite a list! I hope you can do it because there are some interesting titles I have not heard of. I heard House at the end of hope street is good. I joined this challenge too to catch up on reading.

By the way, I love your blog design!
Okay, you got me. I’m doing it with you. But not 23 books 🙂 I think I’m going to go with 13 – that sounds more my speed. Thanks for posting this, I’ve been loving going through everyone’s book lists! – Tania
It’s not about how much you read. I mean, can i really read and remember all those books? We’ll see. Glad you’re joining me in this.

So glad you joined us. Great list.
I have ‘The Antiquarian’ on my list too. I’ve also read ‘Astonish Me’ and really enjoyed it.
Thanks for linking up with Spread the Love!
That’s a lot of books! But you can do it — I’m cheering you on!
Ah, this is the explanation for all the spring reading lists I’m seeing! (I was thinking, I’ve heard of summer reading, but not spring reading…) I probably have 23 books in mind to read in 3 months, too, but I think writing them down in a list would be too scary! Good luck, you can do it!
You can dooooo ittttt! I’m getting myself a list together for the spring, and I cannot wait to hopefully get my reading back “on track.’
Yes, you can do it! Good luck, it’s a challenge but a nice one.
