I'm doing that too Danielle :) currently trying to clean out as much as I can. I desperately need my tbr continent to shrink down some LOL!

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Finished Rock with Me (With Me in Seattle, #4) by Kristen Proby and liked it a lot. This is a really cute/feel good series. Now started Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle, #3) by Maggie Stiefvater so excited to get back to this awesome story!!

Yup, that right there is our main non-problem Victoria :P SO many good books to try and resist LOL!


Danielle (Danniegurl) (danniesreads) | 1326 comments Finished Fireborn (Souls of Fire, #1) by Keri Arthur I liked it but it was sooooooo forsaking short. Only 15 chapters and it ended in a place I wouldn't call an ending in the plot. The plot did not conclude. But overall I loved it.

I do it every once in a while. I don't like my tbrs too high and I don't add all the series books at once because I may or may not continue the series lol.

I've never read that series. The reviews seemed pretty mixed to me and the synopsis didn't sound like something I'd like.

Wow, 2000 books, that's a huge pile. I've got a big list but nothing close to that many. My problem is I buy a book and by the time I get around to it I'm like do I really want to read that right now? I never can figure out what I'm in the mood to read. I think I'm looking for something really sweet like On the Island (On the Island, #1) by Tracey Garvis-Graves or anything that can compare to the Throne of Glass series.

I just did it too I found I had some PNR still listed as Adult Romance. I've figured out I need more sub shelves so I can find things that are in the moods I'm looking for. So if I put it in Adult Romance I doubt I'll look there since right now I'm in UF/PNR world lol.

I didn't delete any. Though I wish the shelves would sort by read or tbr I hate that I see all the stuff I've read in those same shelves too.

I just finishedBound by Law and I'm thinking I'm not a huge Jakes fan. This is the second book I have read by her and I'm just not feeling it.

Nicole D. (thereadingrebel) | 969 comments finished The Arrangement (The Survivors' Club #2) by Mary Balogh and it was great. Not my favorite of hers but still a great book none the less and now to finish up the Lux series with the prequel novel Shadows (Lux, #0.5) by Jennifer L. Armentrout . It will be nice to see Dawson and Beth's back story. Oh well guess not finished I still need to read the adult Lux novel.

I hate that the tbr & read are lumped together too Danielle. And I'm not deleting books either, just removing from my tbr shelves to try and narrow down the books that I'd really like to get to at some point. Although it seems that they are way way way too many of course :P

That's our problem in a nutshell Teresa. I do the same thing almost on a weekly basis. My tbr is way over 5000 books. I kid you not LOL! And I keep finding ones that I want to read every other day so my shelves just keep growing. I have hundreds and hundreds of ebooks and audiobooks waiting in my kindle to be read/listened to. And I know what you mean about On The Island and Throne Of Glass those books are simply in a league of their own and that's why I have a LOVE and REREAD shelf because there are a few very special ones that I have to reread every year. I think I have like 20-25 very special ones so far :) I also have a FAVORITES shelf for all of the other special wonderful ones that I might consider rereading and don't want to ever forget how great they were the first time around.

So far these very special to me are in my LOVE shelf but of course my list continuously grows as I find and read new addicting ones:

Finnikin Of The Rock - The Lumatere Trilogy really
The Throne Of Glass books
On The Island
Beautiful Disaster
The Slammed Trilogy
The Hopeless books
Maybe Someday
The Edge Of Never
The Sweet Gum Tree
Ten Tiny Breaths
Daughter Of Smoke And Bone
The Genius And The Muse
The Scribe & The Singer
Making Faces
Infinity + One
The Sea Of Tranquility
The Fault In Our Stars
Real
Sweet Thing
A Hunger Like No Other
Take This Regret

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments Hey Nicole since you enjoy HR books, have you read any of these? Lord of Scoundrels (Scoundrels, #3) by Loretta Chase The Bride (Lairds' Fiancées, #1) by Julie Garwood Mine Till Midnight (The Hathaways, #1) by Lisa Kleypas , loved them. Have read and loved most of Julie Garwood's books, she's one of my favorite HR writers. And of course Lisa Kleypas is fantastic. Loved her Hathaways series and plan on reading her Travises series in 2015. And absolutely LOVED Lord Of Scoundrels by Loretta Chase so will be reading more of her's in the future as well. But I've also read and loved Elizabeth Lowell & Johanna Lindsey. Planning to read The Raven Prince (Princes Trilogy, #1) by Elizabeth Hoyt this one in 2015 too and I've heard that it's supposed to be really really good.

The Raven Prince (Princes Trilogy, #1) by Elizabeth Hoyt is great. But I prefer Elizabeth Hoyt's Maiden Lane series more as a whole. In the Prince series I only really love The Raven Prince.

Oh thank you Rebecca :) yeah, from the reviews and comments I've read you're right so my plan was to just read the one for this series.

Guys, you have to read Hemlock (Hemlock, #1) by Kathleen Peacock . But do not be misguided by the cover. I thought for sure it would be fantasty. But it is paranormal/mystery and it's really good! I'm 84% right now and I just want to read as opposed to do anything at work! LOL!

Yes Brooke, for sure. I've heard so many great things about this one and have been compiling the books to then start reading them back to back. Annie also raved about it a while back and said that book 2 was just as good as the first one. And the third book is releasing next month so that'll be perfect. All 3 books are in my 300 in 2015 shelf.

There's a few on your shelf I haven't gotten to. But great list! I'd have to agree on just about all of them. ;)

I've read about half of these and totally agree with your faves. I'll definitely have to add a few of the ones I haven't read to my pile

Just finished. Really liked it. Will start #2 today. The publisher sent me an ARC of #3 so I want to get to it before publication date! I have a feeling it will be done sooner rather than later b/c I tore through this one fairly quickly!

Cool. Its a good one. You should check out the Maiden Lane series if you are a fan of those series that eventually give an HEA for every character. If there is someone you love, just wait and they will get their own book eventually. And the characters feel like one big family. :P I love those series.

Thanks I heard great things about Lord of Scoundrels. I have read a book by Lisa Kleypas but it was a modern day romance. Good writing. Liked the book. I will have to look into them. But I am very very picky about historical romances.

Belkis (bminaya) | 8313 comments I was able to listen to my audio book of Blue Lily, Lily Blue (The Raven Cycle, #3) by Maggie Stiefvater for a little bit earlier today and was so happy to get back to this wonderful story. I love the writing; it's so beautiful. Has an ethereal ambiance to it. It sweeps you away to another place almost.
