I'm trying to be good...but it's so hard when it comes to books. :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-46172039581503279392014-10-08T08:56:59.771-07:002014-10-08T08:56:59.771-07:00Ah, the never-ending TBR pile.

I pride myself on keeping all of my books on one shelf but it's a big shelf...and they are several piles on that one shelf. <br /><br />Good luck with your goal. You can be an inspiration to the rest of us, especially when we have Christmas and a library book sale coming up!Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333927782181943347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-85048208461989545042014-10-07T16:44:59.114-07:002014-10-07T16:44:59.114-07:00I hear you.

Even though I'm not supposed to even be thinking about buying new books right now, I already have a list...Christmas might have to come early at my house. :) I'm trying to find the right balance...having books on my shelf to read, but not having too many unread books gathering dust. I haven't quite gotten it figure out yet.Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-12112871971572506382014-10-07T16:42:11.067-07:002014-10-07T16:42:11.067-07:00It's been so much fun!

I think I might have an anxiety attack if I didn't have a bunch of unread books around me, but I like the TBR challenges because they motivate me to read something I got because I wanted to read it in the first place!<br /><br />Happy fall and read on!JaneGShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11094501834387622997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-61469209545479920312014-10-07T11:26:43.179-07:002014-10-07T11:26:43.179-07:00I love the idea of Bingo.

I feel your pain on the TBR list. Although I have gotten through some on my shelves this year, it isn't as many as I would like. Too many books to read is probably my easiest problem, though!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083922062271665231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-9366582346610503692014-10-04T17:04:45.757-07:002014-10-04T17:04:45.757-07:00I'm not a huge fan of short stories but I pick...I'm not a huge fan of short stories but I picked up a collection of Daphne DuMaurier's and thoroughly enjoyed them.
