Virtual Mount TBR Challenge 2023 discussion

Every year my goal is to read from my own stacks (hence the original Mount TBR Challenge). And every year I decide that there are TBR books that I don't own that I just have to read. As in the past, I'm starting with Rum Doodle and, hopefully, I won't get too carried away with library books. Though, it would be nice to say that I've climbed Vulcan's Mount Seleya....
