Tackling The TBR – 1.1 – 1.7.22 #tacklingthetbr

Posted on January 8, 2022 by fundinmental

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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I started doing this post on April 4, 2021. I began with 2347 books on my Goodreads TBR and managed whittle it down to 2171 and knock off 176 books. That does seem kinda low, because I have read 463 books this year, but I guess when you think of ones I added and took in for review along the way, it probably works out pretty damn close. By doing Tackling The TBR and Covid running rampant, I became a reading fiend. Needless to say, I spent way too many days sitting on my ass and I plan on changing that….after the MIchigan football win against Georgie, I am sure I will be motivated. 🙂

I added The Old Vampire by Emma Meade to my TBR on 2.12.13. I have read some of her other work and loved it, so this was a no brainer. I am wondering why I have not read The Old Vampire because it is a short story and…VAMPIRES. Love ’em. Soooo…once I catch up on reviews that I need to write I will conquer this one. It will need to wait so I can write a review while the book is still fresh in my mind. Do you ever let reviews needing to be written stack up? Knowing it would be easier to write it while it’s fresh, but wanting to dive right into the next book?

I missed posting last week, so this is two weeks worth. My totals stayed the same, as I added as many as I read. Soooo hard to say no. Gotta write some reviews and then I’ll get back to my Currently Reading shelf, which is review books.

The Black Oak series by Monique Edenwood is heavy on the erotica, but the story drew me in so much that I actually bought 3 of the 4 books (at 3.99 and preordered the 5th book – which I have never done before). I may not have done so if I had paid attention and noted that, but I love dark and twisted and Monique delivered. Hurry up and bring on Ashes of Black Oak, Monique. I have got to know what happens!

Books From The Backlog – Released by Amber Polo @amberpolo #booksfromthebacklog

Released (The Shapeshifters' Library, #1)

Amazon / Goodreads

GOODREADS BLURB

Love dogs? Love books? Love libraries? Hate Book-burning werewolves?

Once long ago the Shipsfeather Academy was a training ground for an ancient race of dog-shifters whose mission was to protect the world’s knowledge. A powerful curse sealed these librarians in the basement of their building and gave the control of the town to a pack of book-burning werewolves.

Librarian Liberty Cutter watches in horror as the town’s public library goes up in flames and plans to re-establish the library in the abandoned Shipsfeather Academy building. Chronus, the Old English Sheepdog headmaster of the academy and leader of the dog-shifters, knows he must make some changes to continue to keep his pack safe. But even if he could persuade Liberty to believe in a talking sheepdog, how far can she be trusted? And will she ever be able to care for him as a man. He has to try, because Liberty Cutter and her staff of zany librarians may hold the key to the dog-shifters’ freedom…and the future of the town.

I added Released (The Shapeshifters’ Library #1) by Amber Polo to my TBR on 2.7.13. That cover alone would have grabbed first, but after reading the blurb I would have been happy I grabbed it. Now, just gotta find time to read it. So many books get buried in my Kindle…and those stacks over there and back there…I haven’t forgotten you. 🙂 What do you think of that fantastic cover??????
