Getting ahead on TBR pile and prayers please

Edit Post

Ok I admit it my TBR (to be read ) pile has gotten way out of hand lately. So I'm going to try something out here to see if this will help me get going and trim it down some.

I have most of an entire bookshelf that is nothing but books that I'm waiting to read. Now I like that in a lot of ways because no matter what mood I'm in when I finish a book I can generally go over to the shelf and find something from the genre I'm in the mood for that day. It pretty much has it all in there Historical, Paranormals, Westerns, Scottish Historicals, Time travel, even a few carefully chosen Contemporaries. So here is what I'm going to do I'm going to post my next 5 books that I entined to read and stick to reading those 7 next! I'm gonna be strong and work my way through some that I have now and not just ones I'm getting in lol. So God willing in the next few months I will have trimmed that pile down some. Here are my first 7 from the TBR pile and in no particular order (I can't be that strict I'm just not that strong willed)

Eat, Prey, Love by Kerrelyn Sparks

The Exile -a graphic novel of Outlander by Diana Gabaldon

Eternal Kiss of Darkness by Jeaniene Frost

My Lord Jack - by Hope Tarr

Caine's Reckoning by Sarah McCarty

Dead in the Family by Charlaine Harris

Viking in Love by Sandra Hill

Anyone else want to play along? If I get enough wanting to join in I'll whip up a spiffy graphic to go along with this, and call it the TBR 7 challenge or something. Anyone got a better name I'm completely open to it lol!

On a side note I would appreciate any prayers and good vibes as I am to go in next Thursday for an ultrasound on a lump I found in my breast. I'm hoping it's just a cyst and nothing serious. It is sore and the doctor I went to yesterday said that is a good sign but just to be sure better do the ultrasound. Praying hard here. I have to admit it's made me pretty nervous and I'd be lying if I said it didn't. So ladies do remember to check those ta ta's monthly it's very important! And early detection is the key they say. Thanks and hugs to you all!

Michelle @ The True Book Addict said...: I would love to participate if you make it official, but it will have to wait until after the first of the year. I'm bogged down the rest of this year with review books and then my Christmas reading...LOL! But I have made a pact with myself that starting in the new year, I will only accept one book per month for review. This is so I can get to my MASSIVE TBR iceberg that numbers over 1700 fiction books...ugh! I have such wonderful books in my home library, but never have time to get to them.

I'm keeping you in my thoughts about the lump. Try not to worry, although I know it's hard not to. Let us know as soon as you find out!

Did you receive the books you won in my giveaway?; October 8, 2010 6:53 PM
Jill of The O.W.L. said...: I'd love to have a TBR challenge!

HUGS on the lump. I am breast cancer survivor, so I know how you feel right now. Remember that 80% of all lumps are benign! Keep us posted.; October 9, 2010 9:02 AM

Hi Michelle yep ok I'll get to work on making up that graphic for the challenge and then it can be an ongoing thing that one can do whenever they can. :) Thank you so much for your thoughts I'm hoping it's nothing will know by next week God willing one way or the other in the meanwhile I'm trying to keep busy to keep my mind occupied.

JennJ said...: Hi Jill! Thank you so much hon I really appreciate it. And I'm praying that this is one of those in the 80% my mom was a breast cancer survivor too. I am so glad you won your fight with it as well. Maybe someday soon they will find a cure for this horrible disease then it won't be such a scary thing for so many. HUGS and thanks again! Will be getting that TBR challenge running really soon! :); October 9, 2010 10:37 PM
Jamie @ The Book Junkie's Bookshelf/Nitty Gritty Down & Dirty Romance and Erotica Reviews said...: I hope all goes well with your ultrasound. Big hugs!; October 10, 2010 10:18 AM
librarypat said...: Hang in there. I'm sure everything will be fine. The same thing happened to me last year. Fatty tumor. The ultra sound was no big deal. They did a needle biopsy just to be sure. Don't want to do that again, but I would if need be.

I'd love to do the TBR pile challenge, but I'm a realist. I have a lot of digging to do to sort through stuff from 3+ households. I've put it off for way too long and have started pulling boxes out of storage, so now my house is more of a mess than ever. We have already taken truck loads of stuff to several charities, but there will be a lot more. It would be nice if we lived in a good spot for a yard sale, but we don't.

You'll be in my thoughts tomorrow.; October 10, 2010 7:44 PM
