What if we have books say on our nook/kindle or in our room we want to read and have had them for some time but never added them. Because I'm like that. I have several on my nook and it would take too much time to add each on in.

im going for the lowest one and then going to keep going up
I'm in at heart, but lacking any sort of regular internet connection makes this impractical. . . So I will do my best and maybe at the end I can post the completed list, which sadly will probably be shorter than hoped for due to the constant ARCs and author review requests that I can't say no to :-)

Just finished book 2 Promise me Darkness by Paige Weaver
Lindsey wrote: "It would take way too long to record all my books I have that I want to read.

XD
I'm going to tentatively go for Super Nova, but I also have to break out of my reading slump! So my back up plan is a minimum of Silver Star.1. Moonless added to TBR 4/1/14, but received 3/12/14, finished 4/16/14
2. City of Fallen Angels added to TBR 1/16/14, finished 4/18/14
