Lol! Get your minds out of the gutter! I'm talkin' about your TBR stack! Well...this isn't exactly MY stack. Mine is double that! Two big fat tall, teetering piles of fabuloso books to be read! They all look so darn good and junk! (this is totally random, but have you seen that Pot Hole commercial? The pot hole is a southern belle with a TWANG and JUNK--lol!) Anyway.
I think I have started nearly every book in my two TBR piles, but something always drags me away, and I haven't finished one of them yet! Including SHUTTER ISLAND--and it is DARN GOOD! I'd told my pal Kim Lenox about it, and that Stinker has already finished it! (I'm shaking my fist at you, Kimbo) But where do you find the time to read?
I swear, time DRAGGED by when I was a kid. It took FOREVER for Christmas to roll around, and summertime lasted a lifetime. Now....ZIP! It all flies by! BOOHOOO!
Okay! What's on your TBR pile? Here's just the top of mine:
Shutter Island
Dreamfever
Marked
The Shining (again! I have read this one, but it's GOOD!)
Sunrise Song (again--one of my favorite Kathleen Eagle books!)
The Ghost Huntress
Frankenstein
At Dawn We Slept (Pearl Harbor)
So...what's in YOUR stack??? :)
Phffff, I first read "How big is your sack?". "Sack" being German for ... well, balls, cough cough...
ReplyDeleteI can totally see my TBR pile from here so I'll just write it down:
The Untamed Bride by Stephanie Laurens
The two stories that aren't yours in A Highlander Christmas
A Courtesan's Scandal by Julia London
Captive of Sin by Anna Campbell
The Most Wicked of Sins by Kathryn Caskie
Wicked All Day by Liz Carlyle
To Catch A Bride by Anne Gracie
and
Storm of Visions and Storm of Shadows, both by la Dodd.
Wow, now that's an even bigger stack than I'd realized!
Funny you should ask! I was driving home from work last night JUST THINKING about my TBR pile and I noted that there were some of your books in there (would that be TBRR -- to be RE-read...? Haha!)when it occurred to me that I hadn't been to a bookstore in a while to see if there were any new books from you on the shelves! Now I see that I'm TWO BEHIND!! Oh my goodness! So NOW my TBR stack looks like THIS:
ReplyDeleteThirteen Chances by, well, you.
A Highlander Christmas, by, erm, you again.
New Moon à la Stephenie Meyer (Gotta re-read before it comes out in theaters! Arg!!)
A Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris (I'm totally into the Sookie Stackhouse novels... not so much the show True Blood :-P Anywho, I'm waiting for the new book to come out so I'm reading her collection of short stories in the meantime)
And that's that!
Most of my TBR books are re-reads.
ReplyDeleteNew Moon by Stephenie Meyer (have to prepare for the movie!)
Another Chance to Dream by Lynn Kurland
This is all I ask by Lynn Kurland
Thirteen Chances by you (I just read it once.)
And a couple of others. Time is just not on my side..
Cheers~

Well My TBR Stack is beyond large. So much so that I can't keep it in a stack anymore, it has its own shelf...ok so two shelves, but come on who's counting?
ReplyDeleteSince you only named 8, I'll type up the first 8 I see, there are 146 all together (I just counted them).
