Today’s TTT is books recently added to our TBR list. I’ve got a few reviews lined up, but foist: here’s a tease!
The Buddhist point of view takes the function of work to be at least threefold: to give a man a chance to utilize his and develop his faculties;to enable him to overcome his ego-centredness by joining with other people to bring forth the goods and services needed for a becoming assistance. (small is beautiful, E.F. Schumacher)
And now, my lazy list.

Good luck with your goals. My goal is 2 non-fiction. And that’ll be tough!
When are you thinking of reading ’84? I found my (surprisingly slim) copy so I’m ready to go. Happily I found my Wells books too so those ‘couplings’ are itching to… couple! [grin]
January is meant to be “fun” month, so …not then. First week of Feb?
[lol] Sounds good. Happy to review on Monday 3rd or Thursday 6th. I’ll then follow up with a ‘coupling’ which will be ‘Julia’ by Sandra Newman.
I’m curious to see which books you have in mind for #2.
Good luck with your goals. Here are mine: https://wordsandpeace.com/2025/01/14/my-top-ten-bookish-goals-for-2025/
Crunchy Cons, The Plain Reader, and Death and Life of Great American Cities are three that come most quickly to mind!
They definitely sound interesting
I look forward to seeing which nonfiction books you read this year! There aren’t a lot of TTT bloggers who talk about that.

Very true!
Well, Goal #4 — I definitely agree with – three is more than enough. Goal #2 is very intriguing, hope it works out for you.
Best of luck with these goals!

Good luck with your goals. As someone who never picks up non fiction I’m pleased to say that I’m hoping a 2025 release I have my eye on will change that.
It must be special! What’s the title?
Story Of A Murder by Hallie Rubenhold. It’s not the first non fiction I’ve added to my TBR but when I spotted it recently it seemed like a good starting point. I have another of the authors books on my TBR and a couple of mythology based titles too. Plus on a hopefully less dark note Heroic Animals 😅
Lol, your 4th made me chuckle. Three is plenty enough! These all sound good!
Looking forward to seeing what non-fiction books you read this year! And I love the idea of rereading mind-altering books to see how you feel about them years later but it takes a certain level of bravery lol. That could be awesome or it could be super disappointing. 3 bookish goals are plenty to give you excellent books all year long 😀
Ha ha. Three bookish goals is definitely enough. Good luck with them!
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Hey, 3 is totally enough when they’re worthy goals! 😉
I need to work more nonfic in … I more than doubled last year, but when you’re starting at 3 that’s easily done 🙃 lol I have an entire bookcase full (plus another half case, probably?) of nonfiction that has caught my eye over the years – I need to dive in to some of those this year!
Can’t fail Classics Club. No worries there.
