Title and Author : Yep, I'm Totally Stalking My Ex-Boyfriend by Michael Stephenson
Summary : Cass Clinton is a 32-year-old ad agency worker living in Chicago who just broke up with her super amazing, totally Ken doll-ish boyfriend Kyle in order to push forward in her career. But less than a year later when things start to fall into place for her on the work front, she realizes just how lonely she is when not crowded around her goofy and immature group of best friends. An adolescent at heart and in action herself, she sets out on a short-lived adventure to find herself a new man. But after disastrous nights into the new dating field, she realizes that she wants her boyfriend of five years (six unofficially) back. Now, in order to get him back and steal him away from his current girlfriend--that blonde yogi bimbo--she must resort to listening to that little devil-voice every person develops when they think they're madly in love. Now, she must stalk him and get him back at any cost.

A story of friendship, love and realizing what you really want, Yep takes the reader on a comedic journey through the horror that one faces when realizing that they've possibly made the biggest love mistake of their lives, and what they'll do to fix it.

Title and Author : To Enter the Path by Stephanie Flores
Summary : A prophesy has been strummed by a drunken minstrel about a Vendrix finally controlling their greatest power called the Victus Lameit. If someone actually learned to tame this sentient magic that craves carnage, and kills families and strangers alike, it could be used to annihilate the sorcerer that’s been wreaking havoc everywhere.

There’s three things wrong with this notion, though:
1. No one knows who the Vendrix is.
2. To get to the sorcerer you must survive his path which is just one murderous obstacle after another.
3. No one is entirely sure they heard the minstrel’s slurred sayings correctly.

Zendra, a young woman raised by an assassin and anything but dainty, refuses to admit she’s the Vendrix they’re talking about. Despite the fact that she just massacred a horde of wizards with no more exertion of energy than a yawn. Regardless of her denial, she’s enlisted by three men wanting to attempt the Path, for fame, adventure, or vengeance.

Now, Valen, an arrogant yet charming wizard prodigy, Brevle, a wise-cracking warrior, Wulard, owns a map (sorry, that’s all he contributes), and Zendra, still unsure if she’s more of a threat to them than the obstacles, must band together, quiet their pessimism, and will their legs to forge through the Path of Fatality.

I've come across LOADS of people (over the internet) who are constantly cribbing about having huge TBR piles and ranting about how they can't stop buying books but neither have the time and inclination to finish off that pile. On the other hand, there are people who don't have any TBR books because they only buy a book once they have finished one on their shelves. This way, their TBR pile can never grow!

I don't really belong to any of these extremes - I have a good 20-30 physical TBR books and much more ebooks (which I'm not considering in this discussion) - but what I've come to realise over the times is that I actually enjoy having a TBR pile.

I like to feel the satisfaction of having a pile of books to choose from once I'm done with the book I'm currently reading. I don't want any book to be forced on me, and I don't want to read anything just because I don't have any other option. I like to have a lot of books to choose from and read whatever I feel like to.

What are your opinions and likes? Do you enjoy having a huge TBR, or one of those people who gobble up books immediately after buying them?

I'll probably read either Queen of Shadows, Go Set a Watchman or The Zahir

That's one of the best psychological thrillers I've read!

Yes, have read it. Liked it quite a bit :)

I loved that book! Not exactly a 'bad boy' book but it's a very enjoyable read!
