Guest Author: Shiloh Walker Climbs a Mountain
Monday, March 19, 2007 20:24
My TBR pile grew into a mountain over the past few years.
I have the last two or three LKH books which I haven’t read. The latest two In Death books by JD Robb that I haven’t read and I’m kicking myself. I have scads of Sherrilyn Kenyon books that I havent’ read and I don’t know why. I’ve only read one of hers and I loved it.
Hmmmm… there’s Kresley Cole, Deidre Knight, MJ Rose, Monica Jackson, Holly Lisle, Rosemary Laurey, JC Wilder, Meljean Brook, Sunny, Angela Knight, Nora Roberts…. I can’t possibly list all the books in my TBR mountain, but the ones I’m currently working on are Meljean Brook’s Demon Angel and Jessica Hall’s The Kissing Blades.
And massive as the mountain is, I’m always looking for more. I’m a glutton for punishment, I guess. I’ll read almost any genre, although I’m partial to romance, sci fi, and fantasy.
I tend to browse by cover and a good cover may make me pick up a book, but the blurb and the first few pages are the deciding factor, unless it’s something I keep hearing about and then I may just go ahead and buy it.
Thanks to everybody for having me here!

Shiloh same here with the TBR. I just don’t want to miss any either! I didn’t know about Jessica Hall’s new one, that I missed. You’re already adding to mine! I had fun chatting here too!

I’m glad I’m not the only one that has a mountain of TBR pile. lol I need a support group to help me not buy so many books.
Counting the days until I can read more Hunters stories. Keep the great stories coming and I’ll keep buying.:)lol

I have a huge mountain of TBR — it’s very sad, actually, when I think about it. I’d kill for more reading time.
And, agh!! *hoping like crazy that you like DA*

Geez, I’ve been looking and looking for The Kissing Blades. Where did you find it? Let me know how good it is!

Meljean, make sure you don’t do the stupid thing I did and start skimping on the reading time. Writers need the brain recharge, seriously. And I’m enjoying DA. :O)
Sandy, I’ve had it for a while it got lost when we moved and I just now unearthed it. You’ll probably have to find it used because Jessica Hall is no more. Sniffle.

Wow, I cannot believe that I could have been the one to write the first two paragraphs concerning your TBR pile!!!! I’ve only read one of Sherrilyn’s but am collecting the rest too!!! I’m looking at all the others you listed too!! LOL I’ll trump you tho……I’ve been sitting on J.R.’s 2nd and 3rd and the 4th is at my friend’s bookstore!!!! It was torture listening to Lora at a booksigning last month and reading what you were writing about them in your group!!! You both “said” the exact same thing!! LOL I am soooo anal about my series and my “great” authors list!!!(of which you are on!!)
