OK…we may be on the same page after all, because I thought your TBR meant books sent by publishers, not books you bought yourself. Different rules. The ARC TBRs are the ones I ditch . Books I own take a lot more thought and most stick around. I am a librarian at heart so I don’t buy a lot of books- mostly from authors at signing events. Aahhhhhh…books!

That’s an interesting M.O. But what happens if you love something enough to keep on the shelf? I figure I bought these for a reason (not that I’ve never bought a book for a reason other than just liking the cover and needing a fix, mind you), and I keep favorites on the shelf. I SHOULD do some weeding of things I’m not confident in, but if I go that route I’ll never read them at all. I didn’t say I was going to stop requesting other things from the library, did I? 🙂

In reply to Lauren. Absolutely liberating! You're a better book owner than I am. I resort to adding them to my Goodreads TBR list and giving them away- figuring I can get them at the library if I ever want to read them.

In reply to Catherine. You notice I said "main TBR shelf." These are really the cream of the crop that have been sitting too long. And it sounds bad, but I also think liberating if I can be successful. We shall see. :)

In reply to Lauren. Oh, Lord, this sounds bad. Don't you remember that we are perverse enough that we will subconsciously push back against anything we thing we "should" do? It's sounds like a great idea but as I side-eye my TBR shelf I know the backlist ones aren't going anywhere. Carry on!

Can’t wait to cram this one into the schedule somewhere. Though I just this morning started a new “pledge” to get rid of (i.e., read or listen to) all of the books on my main TBR shelf by the end of the year. This means That I have to fit them in around assignment books, most likely on kindle or audio. So I spent half the morning putting sticky notes in my books indicating where they can be found in electronic form. This can’t end well.

In reply to Naomi. Like you, I really enjoyed Want Not which is why I got this one. You won't be disappointed. He is such an intelligent storyteller.

I read Jonathan Miles’ last book “Want Not” and loved it, so have been waiting to see some reviews of this one. I’m glad to see you liked it! I would recommend Want Not, if you haven’t already read it.

In reply to Tara. I think you will really love it. I'm still thinking about it days later, which is a very good sign for me. Miles doesn't take the easy route on any aspect.

In reply to Allison. That's exactly it! Miles is so intelligent about it and wonderfully portrays how this poor guy is stuck in the midst of a storm and a lot of attention he doesn't want.
