Tackling The TBR – 1.29 – 2.4.22 #tacklingthetbr

Posted on by

I got the idea and the motivation to start doing Tackling The TBR from All The Book Blog Names Are Taken. It has helped me to keep track of my reading shelf as far as current events and I also started doing a post for Books From The Backlog, from Carole’s Random Life in Books, to tidy up my shelves. I feel better about my out of control TBR and have even knocked off a couple of those old ones that had been hanging around for years.

The number of books on my TBR didn’t change, because most of the books I read this week were on my currently reading shelf (review books). This is my way of keeping track of review books. They are front and center and hard to ignore. 🙂

I actually have added more books, both for review and for fun, but didn’t get around to adding them to my TBR, which seems to be growing, rather than shrinking. LOL

Hi Everyone. The weather this week is the coldest we have had this winter. I do not miss what others are going through, shoveling snow, scraping windshields, and wearing all those clothes. I am originally from Michigan and lived in New York for ten years, so I know what it is like. That is why I wanted to move away from it. LOL

I think the birds are confused with our warm weather. I went out to mess with the pool and scared a yard full of robins up into the trees. I managed to get one good photo through the window, before we tried to go out, quietly sit on the patio and wait for them to come down from the trees. No such luck. They were very skittish.

A lot of the books I read this week were not on my TBR, but taken in for Review and some won. I read them so quickly they were never added.

Below you will see a makeshift cover for The Helheim Princess. Due to publishing issues, Tiana and the publisher have taken this time to make a fabulous cover and retitle the book, The Valkyrie’s Daughter. I think the cover is fabulous and the change of title was a good thing. If anyone preorder it, this will not affect delivery of the book

Hi Everyone. Hope you had a great week and are looking forward to what comes next. We have had some cold and some okay weather the past week.

We had some friends of ours drop by and had dinner on the patio. Happy to report the weather cooperated and I was only a little chilly. LOL

Most of the time I have a book in my hand, but the past couple of days I have tried to put them down more often and catch up on reviews. I don’t review a lot of the books I read, because then I wouldn’t be able to read as many. LOL I want to start reviewing more of them, so that means keeping up on R2R books. That’s hard when some of my favorite authors hand me two, three, or four books of theirs at a time. How can they manage to write faster than I can read. LOL I know some of them are from their back books, but eventually I will have caught up and be in the present…or future. I don’t review anything that doesn’t appear on my blog first, but I do rate them on Goodreads.

How about you? Do you review everything you read?

Stay safe and wear a mask..

Hi Everyone. Hope everyone’s new year is off to a good start.

Well, it was a week…I didn’t get much reading done. I was reading Professor Charlatan’s Anthology in paperback and it took me a long time, along with Shade and the Pureblood Faeries, which was a long book too. Still dismantling Christmas, but I have not been in a hurry. Just gotta finish up the tree and the garland over the mantle. It looks so naked without all my beautiful lights. The weather has been chilly with sun and a warm day or two here and there. The pool is looking good…and all I have done is look at it. Mr Wonderful sucked a bunch of leaves out. We had some wind go through and all I can say is…knock those leaves off and be done with it, instead of shedding just enough to overwhelm the robot. lol

HAPPY NEW YEAR

May be an image of 2 people, people standing, fireworks and text

Well, 2021 was not the happiest of years and I don’t know if 2022 is going to be any better, so I plan on enjoying whatever is available to me each and every day. I am not gong to harp on the negative, instead, let’s talk about our weather here in the Florida Panhandle. It got up to 80 this past week with lots of sunshine. My mother in law was here for Christmas and because of the fabulous weather we went to a restaurant on the beach and it was fantastic. Only the second time I ate out in two years. We had a great visit and I was so happy Mr Wonderful went to get her. Alabama won their game, but my Michigan Wolverines fell flat. That’s okay. We cracked the Ohio Buckeyes and won the Bit Ten Title and we had been a 100 to 1 bet in Vegas at the beginning of the year. So….don’t ever count us out. Georgia was everything I was afraid they would be and I will be rooting against them again when they play Alabama.

I hope the new year is all you wish for….

Stay safe and wear a mask..
