    Yes and no: I don’t on purpose, but sometimes I end up doing them because of Halloween related releases :)

      I think most of those books are older than I am! New releases go into the to-read list, to settle in and get comfy alongside the ~600 others.

        Hahaha that’s fair! I’m a big mood reader and happy to ignore my TBR (which I keep small) so reading new releases does happen sometimes :)
