The only two that I am dying to read are EC's Time of Singing and Penman's The Devil's Brood. Impatiently waiting for October.....

Waiting for Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin but there's a loooong queue at the library.

I have at least a couple hundred TBR's and still I order 2-3 books every week. I get a new one delivered and think that it should be an instant reader, but I'll put it on the shelves with all the others and it mysteriously becomes invisible. I've decided I should start at the top of one of the shelf stacks and pick that book no matter what it is.

They're all there because I want to read them, so I've got to stop wasting time choosing them, and just get busy reading them!

[quote=""Vanessa""]The list is endless for me. I look at all my books and wonder if I will ever have time to read them all! :eek: [/quote]

Same here!! I have so many and so many that look good so it's usually just a random choice out of 3-4 books that I really want to read right then. Then of course there are the new books coming in like Heretic Queen, which I'm reading now, Devil's Brood, etc. which take priority over everything!

Needle in the Blood, Leonardo's Swans, and The Inheritance of Loss are all lined up on the nightstand. But they'll have to wait until I've finished Someone Knows My Name, which I'm finding absolutely enthralling.

I have over 75 books on my TBR list. I have them on spreadsheet in the order that I want to read them. However the one I had to go buy and move to the top of the list is The Heretic's Daughter. I just couldn't wait. I got it yesterday. I'll go back to my list when I'm done, unless, of course, something else grabs my attention.

Misfit: same here! EC's Time of Singing, of course, takes precedence, and then it's The Devil's Brood by Penman.

October is going to be one of those months with an embarassment of riches for books. So many new, interesting titles! So too, it looks for December with Colleen McCullough writing a -sequel- to Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. The mind boggles.
