Mini TBR Pile(s)

[asphaltcowgrrl]

So, in my last book post, severina2001 suggested I list all I had to read and create a poll. Not sure I've got that kind of motivation in me, but I can compromise.


These are pictures of my physical TBR piles I have downstairs. It is nowhere even close to all the books I have scattered around the damn house, but, it is a start.



I've started and put aside both In Europe's Shadow and The Night Olivia Fell. So, they're both a little bit read and that counts for something, right? I'm also working on getting through Stone Cross that I started a couple weeks ago and put aside when my library holds came in.

Lethal Letters - cozy mystery
Blue Flag Vols 2 & 3 - manga with a budding quadrangle
In Europe's Shadow - nonfiction, WWI & WWII history
The Night Olivia Fell - domestic thriller
Dodging & Burning - historical mystery
Why Kill the Innocent - historical British mystery
The Perfect Mother - psychological/domestic thriller
The Real Michael Swann - terrorism thriller (that's what Amazon's telling me anyway)
56 Days - quarantine murder mystery (no joke)
Razorblade Tears - mystery/thriller
Malibu Rising - women's fiction
Not a Happy Family - psychological thriller
All That We Carried - contemporary fiction
Love at First - women's fiction (LMAO, Amazon also has it listed as divorce fiction)
Facing the Dawn - contemporary fiction
From the Moon I Watched Her - coming of age fiction

This is a screenshot of what I have downloaded on my Kindle app on my phone. We won't even get into how many ebooks I have hanging out. It's shameful. In the early days, I bought every freebie I found. Hahaha.



Frozen Ground - romantic suspense
The Whisper Man - horror/ghost thriller
Ninth House - fantasy/horror/occult
The Dark Corners of the Night - mystery
These Witches Don't Burn - YA romance/mystery
Still Life - mystery
Only the Good Indians - Native American literature
Mexican Gothic - gothic/historical fiction
These Toxic Things - serial killer thriller

And my library holds are as follows:

Heartless - Gena Showalter (paranormal romance)
Home - Martha Wells (sci-fi short stories)
Such a Quiet Place - Megan Miranda (domestic thriller)
Six Weeks to Live - Catherine McKenzie (psychological thriller)
A Hex for Danger - Esme Addison (cozy paranormal mystery)
Instructions for Dancing - Nicola Yoon (Young adult)
The Sinful Lives of Trophy Wives - Kristin Miller (psychological thriller)
Twilight Man - Liz Brown (biography/memoir)
The Noise - James Patterson (mystery)

Obviously, I'll read the library books as they become available, but what would you suggest I start with next? I have one library book out right now - The Final Girls Support Group by Grady Hendrix (horror) - and am working on finishing Stone Cross. But am option to suggestions for when I finish them.

Lastly, my brother and SIL were in Austin and Dallas earlier this month and I saw this picture my brother posted to FB and had to share:

okay, great. Thanks again!

Just checked and it is actually a story that someone gave me the link for on one of my Murderbot posts. It's available on the tor.com website. Damn, I was hoping it was something I hadn't read yet. Ah well. She has contracted for 3 more Murderbot stories so I just gotta be patient!

No problem! I'm happy to share anything that doesn't go back to the library, so if I ever mention something, let me know. If it's print, I'm happy to ship it off to get it out of the house.

Ah, gotcha. Sorry to get your hopes up. Tor is great about freebies and short stories like that though. Nice! And unlike a lot of fantasy/sci-fi authors, she doesn't seem to take a decade to write a book. *glares at Patrick Rothfuss*

*joins you, but glares at GRR Martin*

He's never finishing that series. It's doomed, which sucks. :/

Go read some Joe Abercrombie. He at least finishes things.

Where is the lie??? UGH.

LOL I read The First Law trilogy, and really liked it and then hated the ending. Haven't read any of his others. SO MANY BOOKS SO LITTLE TIME. (Look who I'm talking to. HAH.)

Hahaha — right? UGH.

Troy got hooked on The First Law series only to discover the third book hadn't come out in the US — and wouldn't for several more months. So, I wound up having to order it all the way from the UK to shut him up. LOL I sent the author an email about that and he responded! He was very witty and sweet to me. :D

Seriously though. I need to become independently wealthy so I can get through all my books.
