Beyond Excellent, huh? Well I think it just went up to the top of my TBR. :) I've been a bit hesitant to read it, because I wasn't sure how JRW would pull off making Zadist a viable hero. LOL

Audball, same thing happened to be with Z but my god what a book! The emotional highs and lows in that book was amazing. Make sure you're free and don't have to work the next day when you start (lol!)

We have a reading list over at the RRRC group to keep track of all our challenge. But also what we are CR and so forth. Here is a list of books I want to read to swap on www.paperback.com that are being highly requested. Meaning once I list them they auto will be on someone's wishlist.

[boo..."

i love owning them too. my list out of control i think it has like 600 something on there. I really should use a library but im not crazy about time limits or have to re-new them if i have them too long. i did justify buying them by saying i would only use cash and use a coupon! so i buy here and there and when there is a good sale. I do surveys online and get gift cards from them for books too heheehe

I know how you feel Joy, I try to keep at least under a 100 tbr on my shelves but it is truely hard to do sometimes, my list here doesn't cover half of those I own, over 2/3 are packed away for safe keeping till we buy another house.

LOL I'm still in an apartment, but when I get a house I would love to turn the finished basement into a library! :)

well I remeber watching old movies and seeing the library as a room with shelves from ceiling to floor displaying books, awards and paintings and with the ladder on rollers, a comfy fireplace and a large chaise or over stuffed chair and ottoman with a reading lamp right by it. I always wanted on of those to call my own, one day I'll have my little version of it.

That was one of the reasons I LOVED beauty and the beast! The gigantic library did it for me! LOL

yep, minus the talking teacups would be great. By the way I just bought Beauty and Spindle End by Robin McKinley they are both retelling of childhood fairy tales Beauty and the Beast and Sleeping Beauty. They have recieved rave reviews so I'm going to be reading them shortly.

I have 80-some books on my "to read" shelf, everyone is more than welcome to give it a browse. I am equally likely to read a book from that list as I am to find something else, so it's not an entirely reliable TBR list.

I added that book to my TBR list a while ago, and forgot about it! If it's good let me know! :)

oops, I lied. Next on my TBR list turned out to be Murder at the bad girl's Bar & Grill by NM Kelby.

My next 5 (that I can remember) are

Daggerspell
The Seekers
The Blood Knight
Space Opera
Deception

My current TBR list is 41 books long. This is only what I've purchased. My actual wishlist is out of control.

Not enough time. On Monday I start working longer hours, and I'm going out this weekend. So I went with Deception. It should be finished by Monday. Then I may read Seekers. Interesting but not in a "will keep me up too late" way.

Do you guys read off your TBR in order?

Twilight

Kenjii wrote: "Do you guys read off your TBR in order?"

I don't. I read in the order that I get from the library or depending on my mood.

i dont read them in order i just read my serieses in order. i try to keep a few series going but sometimes i get to overwhelmed

I read them in the order they're on my bookshelf.

I don't go any specific order.It's whatever I'm in the mood for, of course if it's a series then I'll read those in order.

Even though I have a first ones up shelf, I don't read in any particular order. Basically it depends on what I already own and what I come across in stores, lol.

I would list my TBR list but at the moment there are too many to remember Lol. Just like the fact that I have ten books on my bookshelf that havent been read, and I continue to add more!
=D

Kenjii wrote: "Do you guys read off your TBR in order?"

Nope. I just look at my to-read shelf and choose something based on the genre I am in the mood for...

Oh ok. My TBR list is basically so I can keep track f the books I have bought and when I need to search them easily for challenges and such. I thought maybe you all had them set up in a certain reading order.

I know some people do that, but since I have over 400 books on my TBR list...LOL It would be too hard to organize it.

Kenjii wrote: "Do you guys read off your TBR in order?"

nope....I just grab what I'm in the mood for.

I don't even necessarily always choose something on my goodreads TBR list. The reason I really keep that is so I don't forget about books that I think sound interesting. But I also only try to add ones that I think I will get around to in my lifetime (haha).

First I need to finish...
Angels' Blood by Nalini Singh
then I am going to read...(not in this order)

***1. Blood Promise-Richelle Mead
2. With Seduction in Mind-Laura Lee Guhrke
3. The Time Traveler's Wife-Audrey Niffenegger
4. Lover Eternal-J.R. Ward
5. What Happens in London-Julia Quinn
6. City of Glass-Cassandra Clare
7. To Wed a Wicked Earl-Olivia Parker
8. Full Moon-Rachel Hawthorne
9. Devil In My Bed-Celeste Bradley
10. Uglies-Scott Westerfeld
11. Blood Sins-Kay Hooper
12. Covet-J.R. Ward(comes out at the end of Sept)

I think this is the order I will be reading but who knows it might change. I'm trying not to buy books and just rely on the library.


Midnight's Daughter-Karen Chance
The Fiery Cross-Diana Gabaldon
Redeeming Love-Francine Rivers
Curse the Dawn-Karen Chance

Normally, I just read by my moods and don't plan my reading in advance, but since I have two books to read for review and am trying to complete a few reading challenge, I made a list for Sept. I plan to read, though not necessarily in this order and time permitting:

Susannah, A Lawyer - From Tragedy to Triumph by Ruth Rymer
The Baby Album by Roz Denny Fox
The Indiscretion by Judith Ivory
Zack by Cheyenne McCray
The Raven Prince by Elizabeth Hoyt
Kiss of Heat by Lora Leigh

Julie, is this your first from Elizabeth Hoyt?

Yes, it will be my first Elizabeth Hoyt book, NU. I've heard so many good things about her, I'm looking forward to trying her out.

I hope you enjoy it! If you suspend disbelief, her books are great. ;)

Okay, I have Let the Right One In
Vampire Academy volume one
American Psycho
Motherless Brooklyn

Then I am re-reading Don Quixote and Posession for the sake of a few thrads/book clubs...and I would like to finish these before October so I can read Dracula, Frankenstein and the rest of Vampire Academy...*sigh* so much reading to do and in sooo little time...

I have seven books from the library have reordered my TBR shelf to reflect that. I always put things at the top of my TBR shelf depending on what I get from the library.
So this is (hopefully) the order:
Gil's All Fright Diner (reading now)
Uglies
On the Prowl (should be getting this week)
Cry Wolf (won't read until after I get the previous book lol)
Rogue
Blood and Chocolate
Ill Wind
Touch the Dark
