The Tottering TBR // Episode IX

A weekly post wherein I pretend to lament the fact that I have so many books on my TBR… but in fact am secretly rubbing my hands together with delight that there are so many amazing books left to be discovered…

Happy New Year!!!  It’s hard to believe that we are already into 2017!  Where has the time gone??

Hopefully I will be posting a Rearview Mirror post for both December and 2016 as a whole this week.  In the meantime… surely all the spare time for reading that I had between the holidays means that I’ve made a dent in the TBR, right??

Added to the General TBR:

So it seems like it should be a great thing when I read a book and really like it, and it is… except then it means that I usually end up adding the rest of that author’s bibliography to the TBR!  This week I found myself adding books by Sharon Bolton, Kasie West, and Lauren Miller, for a total of nine more titles to the TBR!

Off the General TBR:

Three books down this week.  Dead Sea Cipher by Elizabeth Peters will show up on the December Minireviews.  I also read and reviewed Daisy in Chains by Sharon Bolton (brilliant) and Parallel by Lauren Miller (quite good).

Total for the General TBR:  866 – up six!

****************************

Added to the Personal TBR:

Four Kindle books this week, plus a Christmas book – the Slightly Foxed edition of Terms and Conditions by Ysenda Maxtone Graham.  I’m about two-thirds of the way through this gem – absolutely delightful!

Off the Personal TBR:

Well, I get a bonus four titles off due to earlier miscounting, plus I read and reviewed Midnight: Wild Stallion of the West, so down five!

Total for the Personal TBR:  589 (steady!)

*******************************

Added to/Off the Series TBR:

Nothing on or off for this tab this week.  I’m waiting for the first book of my new series to come in from the library, so not really any progress here.

Total for the Series TBR:  Holding stead at 148

***************************

Added to/Off the Mystery Series TBR:

Nothing on or off for this category, either.  I did read the next of the Joseph O’Laughlin books, though – Lost was a pretty solid read, and I’m looking forward to continuing the series.

Total for the Mystery Series TBR:  Holding steady at 71

********************************

Added to/Off the Nonfiction TBR:

Another null category!

Total for the Nonfiction TBR:  Holding steady at 58

*********************

Grand Totals for the Week:  Up thirteen and down eight gives me a grand total of only going up five overall for this week!  Such self-restraint!
