TBR
I grow, but I never shrink. Every reader has one. What am I?
The To Be Read pile.
Currently, mine counts more than five dozen books. Luckily, I switched to digital books years ago, or I’d be playing Jenga with them on my office floor. I’ll never finish because there are already far too many wonderful books for me to read in my lifetime, and more get published every year. It’s the one to-do list that makes me happier the longer it gets. I hope to die at 100 years of age with an ereader in my hand and great read open the the very last page because, of course, I can’t go until I know how it ends.
Here’s a little peek into my recent read, current read, and upcomings reads.
Just Finished
A most untraditional love story, this is the celebrated tale of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who inadvertently travels through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare’s passionate affair endures across a sea of time and captures them in an impossibly romantic trap that tests the strength of fate and basks in the bonds of love.
This has been on my TBR pile since 2009 and I’m sorry I took so long to get to it. It’s a touching, unconventional love story. As a writer, I envy Niffenegger’s ability to seamlessly weave together different timelines.
Current Read
Feyre is a huntress. The skin of a wolf would bring enough gold to feed her sisters for a month. But the life of a magical creature comes at a steep price, and Feyre has just killed the wrong wolf.
Follow Feyre’s journey into the dangerous, alluring world of the Fae, where she will lose her heart, face her demons, and learn what she is truly capable of.
I’ve heard about this series several times from reader friends of mine, so I had to check it out. I was hooked from the first page. These five books are my vacation read over the next few weeks.
Upcoming Reads
These three are next on the list. Or, at least pretty high on the list. Unless I get distracted by other books (squirrel!)
