My TBR pile
February 20th, 2008

I’m going to borrow a phrase from Sybil… *le sigh*

My TBR pile keeps growing. Seriously y’all, I keep buying more books than I read. What the hell? Why can’t I just say no?

I blame Sybil for all the reviews/info she has on her site, but I really blame Amazon. I go online and they have this “recommended for you” feature. I get suckered into looking at it every time. And wouldn’t ya know it, there’s a new book on there I haven’t read or bought and bam! it’s in my shopping cart.

That’s when Amazon gets truly evil. After you put a book in your cart, there’s this insidious little thing that says “customers who purchased this book also purchased…” with all kinds of other books!

Gah!

I went to buy a book or two and ended up buying SEVEN!

The Spymaster’s Lady
Bodine’s Bounty
Laird of the Mist
To the Edge of the Stars
The Harlot’s Daughter
The Serpent Prince
The Raven Prince

Double gah!

I’ve got dozens and dozens of books to read, but as soon as that Amazon box arrived, I took the new books out and smelled them, petted them, and thought “my precious.”

I’m not even going to go into the ebooks I haven’t read either.

I did get a chance yesterday to read Stacey Kayne’s new book, Maverick Wild (sequel to Mustang Wild) and although they were both good, I admit I liked it better than the first one. However, I also didn’t get as much written on my WIP as I wanted to either. Once I start reading, I just can’t stop!

Any other book-aholics out there?

  1. Hey Beth! Thanks for reading MAVERICK–so glad you liked it

    I hear ya on the TBR pile…I’m in deadline mania, and that’s usually when the TBR pile calls the loudest, and mine is sky-high

    CONGRATULATIONS on your two CAPA wins –well deserved!


  2. Stacey!!! ~ Way cool you visited my blog. Personally I loved all your books, my fav was Bride of Shadow Canyon - it was the first one you wrote, right?
    Can’t wait for Gunslinger’s Untamed Bride!!! Um, you are going to write Garret’s story, right?
    Oh, thank you for the kudos!! I’m still in shock over it - never expected one much less two!


  3. THANKS, Beth! Yep, BRIDE OF SHADOW CANYON was my first finished ms. I’m super excited about the release of GUNSLINGER’S BRIDE. Lily is unlike any heroine I’ve written so far, and I really enjoyed her interaction with the man she’s out to kill….’er, I mean LOVE

    I’m working on Garret’s book as I type! Taking a tea/email break. Hope you are cooking on that WIP today!!


  4. Yay on Garret’s story - I have a soft-spot for tow-headed boys - I’ve got a 16 YO one. :)
    So now you’ve teased me with Gunslinger’s Bride… I’ve got to wait 4 months!! Of course, that might give me the opportunity to get my TBR pile down… hee hee
    Um, no work on the WIP yet - full-time job dontcha know, but I’m ready to start now!
