Haha Marianne, I like the word hijackers. Good luck with this challenge. Cross Stitch is a big one.
Good idea Marianne and good luck. I think you've gotta watch those hijackers!!! They're sneaky. Cross Stitch is a big read but well worth it IMO. Enjoy. :)
Mostly, I'm doing this to give my self a sense of achievement as I whittle down the TBR list, millimetre by millimetre...thanks for your positive comments!

....and word by word ;) Good luck Marianne! It does give you a good sense of satisfaction as you make a bit of headway :)
The Legacy of Hartlepool Hall was good - not as good as Salmon Fishing In The Yemen but still amusing!I am enjoying succumbing to some hijackers at the moment! So have fun - whatever you read!
Sounds like a fun challenge Marianne. Good luck!

I'm planning a visit to the library this week, it'll be Dale's fault!
