Good that you got all the school reading done though. Have a great weekend.<br /><br />Susanne, I agree. Having a lot to select from helps when you need to read some different.<br /><br />Margot, your TBR pile sounds like mine. I actually have about 3 or 4 piles just so they won't fall over. LOL<br /><br />Glynis, hope you enjoy your new wins. Thank you for your support during this year. I've enjoyed getting to know you. Happy New Year.<br /><br />Terry, so far I've not started reserving books at the library (except every once in awhile). I downloaded the Calibre program so I could keep up with the e-books I have on my computer.<br /><br />Hilary, if only we could read a book a day and do everything else. Sometimes it seems it's all I can do to read a book a week.<br /><br />Helen, now bwhere would be the fun if we had read everything in our TBR pile? <br /><br />Diane, so now you'll have to read to find out more about it. :)<br /><br />Patricia, cozy are great to come back to after reading thrillers. I go through phases like that too. You have more will power than I do when it comes to getting new books. Wishing you a joyous, safe and Happy New Year too.<br /><br />Jemi, there's always room for at least one (maybe two) more books on a wish list. LOL <br /><br />Golden Eagle, I agree with you. It is a wonderful thing that there are always new books to read opening new doors for our imagination to explore.<br /><br />Dorte, sometimes I think our TBR list grows on its own. :)<br /><br />Alex, these are some very colorful and eye catching covers.Mason Canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935307400882363560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-33113140605500351002010-12-30T18:38:43.185-05:002010-12-30T18:38:43.185-05:00Some colorful covers.Some colorful covers.Alex J.

I have made a tiny dent in my TBR stacks, but have resolved not to buy any more hardcovers or paperbacks until I actually have space for them in a bookcase. It's hard, very hard. <br /><br />I compensate by visiting the library more often, requesting our library system order new books that I want to read, and going for my blogger friends' books on my new Kindle. Where there's a will, there's a way.<br /><br />I wish you a very happy and healthy new year. Here's hoping all your dreams come true.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-46653674665828031472010-12-30T12:53:43.960-05:002010-12-30T12:53:43.960-05:00I grew up in Oregon and can't say I recall a t...I grew up in Oregon and can't say I recall a town called Maiden's Bay...L.

Can't wait to see how many you read this year.<br /><br />Julia, I started the Diva series right before the second book came out so I had two back to back to read and have love them ever since. This is my first Orchard and Sudoku read so I'm glad they're stand alone books and then I can go back and catch up.
