I anticipate being caught up with my "owed TBR's" by end of February, and then I'll just be working on trades and giveaways. I want to focus on moving books OUT and minimizing those coming IN, so want to work on giveaways rather than swaps and VBB's and such.

I don't know how this will go over here - but I'm inviting any of you to check out my TBR (and AVL but there aren't many there) and post a list of what you're interested in. I'm not going to draw names or anything like that - I'm just going to look at the lists and send what I can. I do want to read a lot of the books first, but I'm reading about 15 books per month now.... Also, if you want chicklit books, I'll be passing most of those on unread as I've found I really don't care for the genre.

Anyway, I'll be starting on this in March, so go ahead and take a look and post lists for me if you wish. I hope some of you do! :) Oh, and make the lists as long as you want!

Thanks so very much :D :hug: Oh and please take your time reading /sending, i have plenty to keep me occupied. I made sure i only asked for ones i really really wanted and am having trouble getting.

Rosie i took the Madeline Alt book off, silly me i mooched it like a week ago and forgot to take it off my bookmooch wishlist.

Oh and i put stars by the books i'm dying for :blush: I know i'm a shameless beggar.

Good idea Rosie! I need to do this too. Way too many books.

I actually had to stop myself...

Let me know if you want postage or anything... I don't expect any or all of these, but if you really want to read them, that would be cool.... Some were wishlist books, others were recommended to me. I've read a lot of your TBRs and they were pretty good, so.... here's my list...


mirabilis
kitty and the silver bullet (have the first 3)
The Serpent in the Garden: A Novel
Something from the Nightside (wishlist)
Mary: Queen of Scotland (read almost everything else by her)
Priest of the Blood (wishlist)

I'll take a look when I have a chance, but I wanted to put in for Poison Study by Maria Snyder while I thought of it since we already talked about that one. (and I wanted to get my dibs in first.) :giggle: Thanks hon! :)

I shouldn't have looked. :bash:


Rebel Angels

The Valley of Secrets

Santa Steps Out



I'm sure there might be more, but after scrolling through almost half of the TBR pages, I look like this: :wacko: LOL


Thanks Rosie! I know I don't need to offer anything in return, 'cause you know you can ask for anything anytime. :wink:

I'm afraid to look! :giggle:

but I may do so tomorrow......

Which Haunted? Kelley Armstrong or Heather Graham? I checked your cliff's list but didn't see it there.... :)

Oh yeah, definitely yours! :hug:

I am not looking :rolleyes: I know you have all sorts of books I would like and I am in the same position as you. However I can't stay away from the swaps :giggle:

:giggle: :hug:

I'm doubting I need to look cause I'm pretty sure we already covered this. Perhaps I'll peek tomorrow just to be sure you haven't added any really awesome wishlist books since we last talked. :giggle:

Great offer though and I'm sure there will be plenty of people happy to take you up on your awesome shelves. You have such :drool: worthy stacks of books. :wave:

:hug:

Yep, I do have a lil stack with your name on 'em! ;)

But you are welcome to look again!

Wow! 99 pages of TBR! 8o !

I saw these that I would be interested in. Let me know if I can send postage!

Firestorm - Rachel Caine
Flyte - Angie Sage (wishlist!!)

I see now that you also have the previous books in these series TBR as well, so I'm not going to hold my breath :giggle:

Oh, not sure how you feel about romance but I really enjoyed The Dark Queen. It is a little more romance-y than HF, in case you weren't sure though, but it's a good story, nonetheless.

I pulled it up and saw you had 100 pages of TBRs :o so I'm glad I didn't promise to get thru it all this week. How long must it take to get through all 100 pages? :lol: Has anyone managed to do so yet? :huh:

o.x I've decided if I don't get into the Writer's Conference I'm gonna do something similiar to this...but at any rate!

Winter Moon (Mercedes Lackey et all)
Falling Upwards (Kassandra Sims)
The Secret of Shabaz (Jennifer Macaire)
Falling Leaves: The Memoir of an Unwanted Chinese Daughter (Adeline Yen Mah)
Book 2 and 3 of the Haunted Bookshop Mysteries by Alice Kimberly (I got book 1)
Inside the Walls of Troy (Clemence McLaren )
The Prince of the Pond : Otherwise Known as De Fawg Pin (Donna Jo Napoli)
Spinners (Donna Jo Napoli)
Wisdom's Daughter : A Novel of Solomon and Sheba (India Edghill)
Little Red Riding Hood in the Big Bad City (Martin H. Greenberg)

Curse the Dark (Laura Anne Gilman) got this as well!
Snow White and Rose Red (Fairy Tale Series) (Patricia Wrede)
Prince of Shadows (Susan Krinard)

it took me a little over a hour...which is bad since I should have gone to bed TWO hours ago...but anyhow...there you have it :) I'll pay postage if you like :D

yes just now I did--a little over a hour Cherie...@.@

I'm gonna give it a shot at work today, lol. I finished at 1:50PM.

Car is now clean so starting to look through your 99 pages :o

Books I like the look of so far are...

Enslaved by Hope Tarr
Lean Mean Thirteen by Janet Evanovich
The Fourth Bear by Jasper Fforde
Tipping The Velvet by Sarah Waters
The Book Theif by Markus Zusak
Pop Goes The Weasel by James Patterson
As Seen On TV by Sarah Mlynowski



I'll come back and finish looking later!

I think it was on paperback swap, whoops! :blush:
I think I should probably match up all of my wishlists. Make sure they're all the same.

It's the one by Kelley Armstrong. Just started Bitten and I'm hooked. LOL...

I found some from my wishlist!

The Marching Season by DANIEL SILVA
Artemis Fowl: The Lost Colony by Eoin Colfer Scratch this, I was RABCK'd it today! :)
Lazybones by Mark Billingham
Soul Music by Terry Pratchett

If you don't want to ship to Canada I understand though ;)

Lexie, I really loved the Daggerspell series. I read that about 15 years ago and I still pick up the books every now and then and skim through them.
One of my fav series.

I would love these. Will send postage.

Goddess of Light (Book 3) by P.C. Cast
Enslaved by Hope Tarr
Vanquished by Hope Tarr
Grave Surprise by Charlainne Harris
Private Demon: A Novel of Darkyn by Lynn Viehl (just received this from ladiibbug)

Lipstick Chronicles is not in my possession..... :)

I've gone in and marked all the noted books as RESERVED for now - this is just so that I don't get different people asking for the same book - that's not to say you'll all get everything you asked for, but you'll all get something! :) I'll be in touch with each of you - probably not until next month though!

And I still hope to see more lists! :)

I'm going to have to see if I can track down the rest then :) I'm working on series that are longer to begin with now...at least non-romance series XD I picked up the first four in Joel Rosenberg's 'Guardians of the Flame' series and am finishing off my Pern collection (that is to say--the Pern books before her son made things all weird).

I'd be interested in any of the following:

A Cook in Time
A Dose of Murder
A Is for Alibi*
A Monk Swimming
Angels*
Back When We Were Grownups
Because of Winn-Dixie
Before Women Had Wings*
Bell, Cook, and Candle
Beyond the Sea of Ice
Blackwood Farm
Blood and Gold**
Blood Canticle
Borderliners
Cook's Night Out

You have a lot of books that are on my wishlist! Please let me know if you'd like postage if you decide to send any of these.

All these giveaways are making me feel like I should do something similar. I have some special events I'll be commemorating later in the year, so be on the lookout!

*I scratched these out because I found them in the clearance section of Half-Price Books for $1 each and couldn't resist!
**Received as a surprise RABCK from three

:giggle: Sejent only made it through the A's and B's..... :wink:

a one 'C' book!

i feel special that I went through all the pages! has anyone else or am I just that crazy and uncaring that I should have been sleeping instead?

I had to stop when I saw how many wishlist books you had! I could have gotten myself in big trouble!

You ARE special (and perhaps crazy, but aren't we all crazy here? ;) ) - and I'm SO glad you took the time to go through my shelf! :hug:

I vote for CRAZY!! :wacko: :tease: :silly: :spin:

:hugs: crazy is as crazy does right? I was mighty surprised by your TBR's Rose! I found some interesting (and wishlisted) books that I didn't expect and some that are entirely new to me!

I saw 4 books that I am interested in:

A Fistful of Charms by Kim Harrison (wishlist book)

Beyond the Highland Mist by Karen Marie Moning

Blood Lines and Blood Trail, both Victory Nelson Private Investigator books by Tanya Huff.

:)

I'm working my way slowly through the list, and I must take a moment to thank you for always including the synopsis in your journals of books! I often stumble across books that look as though they may be interesting, but have no synopsis posted and therefore I have no clue what they ought to be about! So, thank you.

:vibes:

:D I try to always do that - probably missed a few in there - but I like it myself, so I try to be consistent with it. Hope you're finding books you like! :)

I shouldn't have looked. There's so many there :o
