LOL I started a list on GR with my books to read in 2014 so I could prioritize. Of course the two Outlanders to read made the cut.

They have sort of knocked everything else aside for me since I discovered them, so I do look forward to having time to read from my TBR list again after I the MOBY release. But sometimes you just find that perfect series, and for me, that's it. And Fever. :-) I would never have discovered any of these marvelous UF/PNR/fantasy series on my list if I hadn't discovered the SVB and met the Wenches, so I'm happy that my TBR overfloweth. I am a sucker for most of these lines...maybe not the one about wrecking my life. I don't want that right now. But I'll put it on my list...Kathi Alexandra Malcontent MacKenzie Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11985231435920743677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3488044569882591569.post-44372834954379251602014-05-12T18:08:06.743-07:002014-05-12T18:08:06.743-07:00Thanks Zee.

It might be easier. I've added The Color Purple to next month's BoM ;).<br /><br />I'm a month behind on my BoM myself. What a terrible moderator ;). It all points to Barb. It was her enthusiasm that made me decide to read VA. Normally I don't read YA as you know. Yeah, foot in mouth for sure. I don't know. I don't always read all the BoMs and a few series I've let drag until they finish then will (hopefully) read them all at one. That's the plan. I haven't picked up Mercy Thompson again. I want to at some point.<br /><br />250+ in a year. Look if I make it to 70, which was my goal for the year, I'll be happy, but with two Outlander books to go, I'm thinking this might be difficult.<br /><br />It actually comforts me I'm not the only one that is like this. Thanks Pia.

Yes, Angela.
I do remember a time when I h...LMAO!! <br />Yes, Angela.<br />I do remember a time when I had only two series to follow up on, and there were many years between each installment, so that was okay (btw, that reminds me, you really should pick up up The Wheel of Time, Angela - great series and only 14 books in series, averaging 700 or 800 pages a piece - love it - can't tell you how many times I've reread the first 6 or 7 books).<br />Anyway, in 2009 I discovered 'the series that shall no longer be named' and it filled my world for a while. Rereading wasn't enough and I filled my days reading fanfic. Great fun. <br />Then I started looking around for 'other' things, and started adding series to my list, but things never got out of hand until I joined GR and discovered that I wasn't the only person in the world who loves reading. Can't say people didn't warn me about my TBR pile to become humongous, but I laughed at them. Thought they were joking, go figure. <br /><br />So yes, Angela. I do feel overloaded. <br />Why do you ask? <br />Does "1 year challenge" and "seasonal challenge" and "April challenge" and "May challenge" sound familiar? <br />No? Then maybe "we choose 4 books of the month, each month, so you have options" will ring a bell?<br />Or "I don't usually like YA but let's read VA anyway, just for fun" (paraphrasing here and grinding my teeth in frustration every time I see a comment passing by about how nobody likes Rose, knowing I'm missing out on the discussion because I haven't read them, and let's face it, I don't really want to because I don't like YA) ?<br />Or "Upcoming : 6th Grave on the Edge" (yikes, I have the first 5 still on my TBR list, so now I'm panicking, knowing I'll miss out on another great discussion).<br /><br />And that's just the SW. My other book club chooses a first in series as BOM, every month (great idea BTW- it's a perfect way to get introduced to new series, and because most of my friends are reading them, I want to as well - only thing is, some of them have this nice, comfy GR challenge going of reading 250+ books in 2014, so no way I can even hope to keep up with them).<br /><br />Anyway, I'm almost at a point at which I no longer care who Rachel ends up with, as long as I can strike a series of my TBR list next September. <br /><br />Stand alone books is what we need. Or trilogies. Yeah trilogies would be doable, I think. <br /><br />Which reminds me. You just have got to read to read The Color Purple. <br />I picked it up because Barb mentioned she was reading it, and all I can say is, it's awesome. No spoilers but it's heartbreakingly beautiful. <br />And it has a purple cover, so it'll help you make your "1 year challenge".<br />So pick it up and let me know what you think, okay. I'm dying to discuss. Buddy read? <br />;D<br />Piapblnoreply@blogger.com
