Priority List

The purpose of my priority list is to avoid impulse buying and, consequently, reduce my TBR pile. It works as follows. First I make a list of the fifteen books I’d like to read next. Then, whenever I am tempted to buy a new book, I’ll look into my list. I can only buy books from that list. To include a new book in the priority list, I’ll have either to buy or delete another one.

As of today my priority list is as follows (in no particular order):

• The Terrorists, Maj Sjöwall & Per Walhöö
• The Drop, Michael Connelly
• The Cold Cold Ground, Adrian McKinty
• Winter’s Bone, Daniel Woodrell
• The End of the Wasp Season, Denise Mina
• A Dark Redemption, Stav Sherez
• The Unlucky Lottery, Hakan Nesser
• The Caller, Karin Fossum
• Until thy Wrath be Past, Åsa Larsson
• Phantom, Jo Nesbo
• Máscaras, Leonardo Padura (English title: Havana Red)
• The Smell of the Night, Andrea Camilleri
• The Rage, Gene Kerrigan
• Taken, Niamh O’Connor
• The Cut, George Pelecanos
