Little Pixie Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 You've read a lot so far ! I haven't read any of the books from your list I'm afraid, though I recognise a few authors. I`m aiming for 100 a year ( trying to make a dent in that TBR pile ), though I wonder if that means I`ll go for the shorter books sometimes.

Athena Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 (edited) That's excellent ! I've never before counted how many books I've read in a year (until I joined GoodReads last year somewhere), so far in this year I've read 55 (that includes quite a few short books, though also some bigger ones; ideally you'd count amount of words read, rather than pages or books. But we don't know how many words are in each book so XD). Good luck with making 100 would be great if you make it! What will you read in the next while, do you have a TBR plan or do you normally decide it on a per-book-basis? Dare I ask how big your TBR is? I'm curious . (I know mine is pretty big ).

But we don't know how many words are in each book so XD). Good luck with making 100 would be great if you make it! What will you read in the next while, do you have a TBR plan or do you normally decide it on a per-book-basis? Dare I ask how big your TBR is? I'm curious . (I know mine is pretty big ). Thank you. I see you`ve just overtaken me to reach 55, so well done as well. I started counting ` number of books read per year` in 2000 - the last couple of years, I`ve reached just past 100, so I`m confident this year in my readingness. There`s no TBR plan, though I do have some series which I`m eking out over the year ( one per month for Jeanne M Dams atm, who writes a mystery series about a retired American lady who emigrates to a small UK cathedral town and stumbles across a new body every book, whose murder she feels obliged to investigate. ) Generally I just read whatever I fancy, which is a bit of a means for procrastination... How about you ? Do you stick to a reading list ? I think my TBR list is a smidge over 300 - though I`m not sure how big that smidge is and am scared to look. Curse these discount booksellers and charity books ! Have you done a TBR count lately ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I generally don't have a reading list, I normally pick which book I feel like. However, every once in a while, I'll feel like reading several books so I make a little pile, which I then may or may not stick to (ie. someone on this forum mentions a book I own and then I really want to read it). For the read-a-thon we just had, I did make a pile because I felt I'd spend too much time otherwise trying to pick a book. So instead I picked a few books and then chose between those. I understand you're scared to look! Good luck on getting your TBR down, I hope there's some nice books in there ! I haven't done a recent count of my TBR, however I do know that it's probably over 1000, if not quite a bit more (this includes books I've read in Dutch but not the English version yet and quite a few free e-books I downloaded for my Kindle (when I just had my Kindle I went a bit mad with downloading free ebooks because I was excited to have found some books for on my Kindle, a lot of them might not be good or interesting at all.) I do own a lot of unread paper books). I hope this doesn't make me too bad a person. I couldn't stand the thought of not having anything to read, what I love is having a book on my shelf for a while so I can look forward to reading it and fantasise about what'll happen in the story. I realise I don't need this big a TBR for that but.. yeah. I plan to tackle my book buying 'addiction' after I'm done with university. Money might get tighter in a little while too so that'll not help at all. I have already tackled my game buying 'addiction', I've hardly bought any games the past year (to be honest I didn't play many because I'm so tired all the time) so that's excellent! I don't have a big dvd/Blu-ray buying 'addiction' though sometimes I see some things cheap and really want to get them (and then I'll buy quite a few things at any one time). This too will have to be tackled (I have to admit, sometimes I also do like shopping for clothes and food..). Along with losing weight (I gained weight because of medication), toning down my stress levels, anxiety, OCD-ish things and learning to cook more things, I'll have quite a few things to work on (I also plan on reading more from TBR)! Sorry if that was a bit rambly! Please, feel free to tell me/us more about yourself, this is your reading list after all! Do you plan to write reviews / thoughts on the books you read? Anything on your wishlist? Do you have favourite authors, books or series? I'm glad Steve introduced you to this forum (he did, didn't he? Otherwise what I'm saying makes no sense).

Wow, a 1000 books ! I`m quite impressed, that sounds like your very own library. Me jealous. I too have a To-Be-Watched backlog, some on DVD but mostly on videos ( they had those in the olden days - ask your Grandparents. ) I do Tai Chi, which I find can help with stressy things - hope whatever you do ( and the meds ) are helpful. I shall endeavour at some point to fill in those blanks at the top with my wishlist and that TBR list, though I`m wondering if it would be easier just to post pics of the various book piles. Favourite authors include Kathy Reichs, Amy Tan, Sujata Massey, Jasper Fforde and Terry Pratchett - favourite cosy mystery writers are Joanne Fluke, Donna Andrews , Jeanne M Dams, Rita Mae Brown. I`m waiting desperately for the third in the trilogy from Deborah Harkness - she wrote A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night - think Twilight for the grown-ups. I`m planning on doing short reviews on books, `cos I think longer reviews will stop me from tackling those books... And yes, it`s all Steve`s fault.

Athena Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 ]I too have a To-Be-Watched backlog, some on DVD but mostly on videos ( they had those in the olden days - ask your Grandparents. )x Haha, do I sound that young? I have a lot of old video tapes, mainly recordings from TV (I used to record my favourite shows). I've put them all at the attic (I bought DVDs of some of my favourite shows, if available). x I do Tai Chi, which I find can help with stressy things - hope whatever you do ( and the meds ) are helpful. x Thanks . x I shall endeavour at some point to fill in those blanks at the top with my wishlist and that TBR list, though I`m wondering if it would be easier just to post pics of the various book piles.x That's up to you. I wouldn't mind seeing some photos of your book shelves at some point (there's a thread for it in the General Chat section). x Favourite authors include Kathy Reichs, Amy Tan, Sujata Massey, Jasper Fforde and Terry Pratchett - favourite cosy mystery writers are Joanne Fluke, Donna Andrews , Jeanne M Dams, Rita Mae Brown. I`m waiting desperately for the third in the trilogy from Deborah Harkness - she wrote A Discovery of Witches and Shadow of Night - think Twilight for the grown-ups. x I love Terry Pratchett! I own most of the books he's written, I think I've read about half. A Discovery of Witches is on my TBR, I'm waiting for Shadow of Night to be released in stock in paperback in the same size as the other one (not sure if it'll happen ><). I may wait until I have all three books before I read them (I prefer to wait until I have the whole trilogy generally). My brother and his girlfriend both really like this author, I bought the first book based upon their recommendations (and the synopsis sounded good of course, if it doesn't then..). x I`m planning on doing short reviews on books, `cos I think longer reviews will stop me from tackling those books...x That's fine, that makes sense . Mine aren't overly long either, usually just a few lines with thoughts on the book. It depends on the book, some books I feel I can say more things about than others, and sometimes I'm more motivated to write or think about it more than other times.

Little Pixie Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 (edited) Well, here goes with the first review. Book #52 A Gentleman of Fortune - Anna Dean It's Richmond, 1806. Miss Dido Kent has developed rather a taste for mysteries,having solved the riddle at Belsfield Hall. When her quiet holiday with hercousin Flora is disturbed by the suspicious death of a neighbour, Miss Dido isonce more at the centre of an unusual investigation. All eyes have fallen on thelate Mrs Lansdale's nephew 'for it has not passed without notice that he haslost a remarkably tyrannical relation and gained a very fine inheritance'. MissDido is intrigued by the rumours and, at Flora's behest, starts a littleinvestigation of her own. And as she does so, she brings more to light than evenshe could have imagined. Book description purloined from Amazon. Hmm, wasn`t sure about this book for about the first third of it. There are three very similar women in it, and I kept getting confused as to which was which - the book could`ve really used one of those cast lists at the front - and the result was, that I kept having to go back and reread things to keep the women straight in my head. It was fine when all the plot info was revealed and the real detecting began though, and ended up being a quite intricate howdunnit as well as whodunnit. Plus, the book talked about the role of women 200 years ago, and how they really were dependent on men ; the options seemed to be maid/cook/governess/wife, or being dependent on the kindness of relatives for employment as a companion. Looking forward to reading book 3 in the series; the lead lady snoop is developing nicely and has a `will she/won`t she ? ` relationship going on, though I hope it doesn`t get drawn out for umpteen books. There`s a series by Joanne Fluke called The Hannah Swensen mysteries which is a fun read, but it`s up to book 16 now and the lead character still can`t choose between the two men in her life, and it`s starting to feel a bit samey. Not that it`ll stop me from reading them - I can only give up a series it it turns really bad. Edited June 16, 2013 by Little Pixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Pixie Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) Book # 53 : End Games - Michael Dibdin From Amazon : Aurelio Zen is posted to Calabria, where in the heart of a tight-knittraditional community there has been a brutal murder. Zen is determined to finda way to penetrate the code of silence and uncover the truth. But his mission iscomplicated by another secret which has drawn strangers from the other side ofthe world - a hunt for buried treasure launched by a single-minded player withmillions to spend pursuing his bizarre and deadly obsession. The last of Michael Dibdin`s Aurelio Zen books ( the author died after finishing this one ). It`s a brilliant conclusion to the series about an Italian Police Chief - the dramatic tone and the tension make the moments of farce through misunderstandings and blunderings even more comical. Even the smallest characters are deftly sketched ; one of the minor American characters refers to the country as Iddly. There are big themes of emigres and immigration, and people returning to the Old Country, themes of long-buried crimes returning, and how doing the right thing isn`t always the legal thing. And yes, there`s the whole Whodunnit/Howdunnit thing, but this is also a Proper Novel. Edited June 20, 2013 by Little Pixie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Pixie Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Well, I`ve started filling in my TBR list - I thought initially I could force myself to do it all in a week ( hah ! ) but that`s too much work ( and too much traipsing around the house ). I`ve already come across books which I`m looking forward to reading - and had completely forgotten about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Pixie Posted June 24, 2013 Author Share Posted June 24, 2013 Must be a BIG house for all those books It`s certainly a crammed-full house. I`m so used to the books, that actually having to take the time to take them down from shelves or out of piles makes them more visible somehow. I`m starting to make lists of them room-by-room, and I`m actually surprised at how many I`ve managed to squeeze in. And how many I must`ve had on the TBR list since the early 90`s. I`m also realising how long I`ve had book piles for ( not a disease. ) I must`ve thought they`d magically produce a book case if I left them for long enough.
