Very impressive!!! I was all proud of my 24 books and you're at 3x that amount. Are you reading other things as well or just laser focused on the TBR?

I'm pretty focused on my TBR piles--I've got to try and get these under control! I've read maybe 6 or 7 books that weren't on my personal TBR.

I am currently suffering from a relapse of 'library-itis' - I somehow manged to get 9 books checked out! I need to emulate your example and focus on my own books again once this batch goes back...

I noticed that you have been reading some Lockridge mysteries - I have only read a few but I like the Norths. They remind me a bit of Nick and Nora Charles (with less drinking and more detecting).

Yes, I love the Norths. The other books by the Lockridges are good too, but the North series seems to have an extra sparkle.

Good luck getting back on track!

Thanks, Sue! Yeah, I've been able to get to Everest each year (so far)--but I'm really hoping to finally make it to the top of Olympus this time. Here's hoping my stamina holds out...
