Hello to everyone in this very interesting HF community! It has taken me some time to finally delurk and come on board - I really just love to read and learn so making the step to interact is a little bit foreign!
So, to my reading habits.....I started at 13 or 14 reading Jean Plaidy and Juliette Benzoni and then began a love of all things royal, English and French. Recently in a fit of nostalgia, I tracked down and bought some of their old books just for comfort's sake. I don't know when I will re-read them though - therein lies my problem - I am not a fast reader and my TBR pile grows faster than I can read. I realised though after reading through the posts on here that a lot of my books on said pile are favourites here - Dorothy Dunnett and Sharon Penman's to name a couple. But I have found even more authors that I am itching to read. Trouble lies ahead!

Welcome to the HFO interaction and am looking forward to your thoughts and ideas, Mello. And yes, out of control TBR is common for us. I think I have somewhere between 250 and 275 TBR's on shelves and scattered around set on tables and in cupboards. I haven't added many to the maelstrom lately, but when the economy and my wages pick back up ...

Welcome to the forum. I try to keep a lot of my TBR in my head, but it doesn't quite work for some reason.....
I'm just reading Devil's Brood by Sharon Kay Penman at the moment. She has a lovely interractive blog over at her website these days too!
