Leni, very interesting TBR list.

Thanks, Kristel. I try to get a long span of years and a good mix of countries, but it became very England heavy this year. But I think England might be somewhat overrepresented on the whole 1001 list.

It is overly represented but it is published in England, I think, so there is that bias. But they also have a lot of great literature.

True! I have a bias towards English, or British, literature myself, so no complaints, really. I just try to expand my horizons. lol

January book done. Zamyatin gave me a lot to ponder.
