It's currently at 1152... Not as big as it used to be :)

I thought I was doing so well at only having bought 6 books this year! 6!

I forgot to count the 44 other books I got from the author or publisher. :(

Happily, since I'm reading book #56 for 2015 I am technically 6 books under where my TBR was this time last year!

I'm counting that as a win! :D

That's a fantastic effort given all your 'extra' activities... work always gets in the way of my reading.

Congrats on the upcoming wedding :)

Brenda wrote: I think there are far more indie books out there than we realize Lynxie...plus a big majority of them are very good:)"

So very true... too many for any one person to read in their life, except for maybe you, Brenda. :)

It is so great to see you all enjoying your indie books too :)

Great lists everyone!! Well done to those who've finished reading already!

I finished my sixth:

1) The book that's been on your list the longest: On Dark Shores: The Lady by J.A. Clement (Since 2011) ★★★★

I know, but I'm really wanting to get the August challenge completed so I'm putting my efforts into reading the last 5 books for that instead. :)
