Downsizing the TBR Pile #amreading

On February 20, 2017 By Teri PolenIn TBR pile

Busy past couple of weeks – making some progress on the new book, but still in the drafting phase.

Saw the new John Wick movie this weekend – it’s as good as, and maybe even better than the first. The ending leaves an exciting setup for a third movie, with Wick up against seemingly insurmountable odds.

I read out of order, but I finished In a Small Compass by Karen Oberlaender, a marvelous collection of short stories – a full review will be posted soon.

Still reading:

Up next:

TBR: 104

Bought: 1 (preordered the final book in V.E. Schwab’s Shades of Magic series – if you’re a fantasy fan, seriously, you need to be reading this)

Total: 104

Wow. I’m impressed. I’ve read all of two books this year.

  I have distant memories of being able to read two in a week – not anymore!

Busy week for you! I’m behind on my reading this week due to the WIP, but I started a new book– All the Missing Girls–that seems promising.

Karen Oberlaender’s book is on my TBR. I’ve read Type and Cross and loved it. The characters still resonate with me. I’m going to check your other two reads out on Amazon. The covers are beckoning, LOL

  Covers beckon me all the time – not sure if that’s good or bad! Check out F. Paul Wilson’s Repairman Jack series – that’s how I found him and I think it’s something you’d really like.

I laughed out loud at your summary. LOL. Great progress, Teri! 104 to go. *Sigh* I think so many of us can relate. Happy Reading 🙂

  I feel like a salmon swimming upstream – but at least they make progress. *sigh* At least it’s something I love doing, right?

I’ve seen so many mixed reviews about The Shadow Queen, and I was not a fan of Redwine’s first series, interested to see what you think!

  Hoping I can finish it soon – a lot of things getting in the way right now. I need a vacation to just read – I wish!
