In an effort to get more organized, I’m going to start recording here books that have either been sent via a review request or ones I’ve voluntarily dedicated time to reviewing, eventually in some kind of order. For now I just really need to see them all on one page.
I also intend, through some miracle on high, to list my To Be Read Pile out. It’s going to be a labor of love. Crazy love. Insane, I’m-probably-going-to-implode love. In other words, it might take me forever. So take it with a grain of salt. The next time you check here the order of these lists may have changed.
But oh the sweet reward when I get to cross off another book read! Which really needs to happen since I can’t stop buying books. My boss told me I had a problem. I think that sounded like jealousy, don’t you?

Woot! So glad to see I made your list. :) Now I just have to wait and hope you like it. *bites fingernails*
Hon, I’ve got the book! Crossing my fingers too lol! :D
KMont, whenever I am at a loss for what to read next, I come to your site and browse for hours. I know whatever you think is awesome, I will love too (case in point, Rachel and Kate are my top girls, Anita I can’t stand) so I thought it might work in reverse as well. I don’t see “The Secret Swan” by Shana Abe on your historical romance list and it completely blew me away. One of those heart-beating-too-fast-can’t-sleep-until-I-finish-this-book kind of reads. Set in the time of the Black Plague. ‘Nuff said.
Just a suggestion from a dedicated blog fan, in case you hadn’t read it yet. Would love to hear your take on it!
Thank you very much for the Shana Abe suggestion! I’ve eyed her books many times, but never read her. Yet. And thank you for the kind words on the blog! You must know how that makes me smile. OK, going to Amazon now to get a look at your reading suggestion. ;)
