Sept TBR part 2 - Even More Delicious Books Added to my TBR!
Once again I'm sharing books that caught my eye and made it to my TBR list for the second half of September. I keep a very extensive list, because I never know what mood I'm going to be in or what the library will have, so I want to keep my options open. I track them here on the blog, as much for my own interest as for yours. Scan through the covers and titles and see if there's something that appeals to you - you may find your next read right here! I've grouped the books by

Shelf Control and Books from the Backlog #6
These mid-week memes suit me well because they provide me a quick reminder to check my own shelves and see what interesting books are lingering there. How about you? Why don't you feature one of your shelf books (or e-reader) and see if that helps you decide to read it or toss it. Shelf Control and Books From the Backlog #6 Both of these memes target a particular problem of mine - reading books I already own. Like many of you, I'm sure, I can't stop adding to what I already o

Book Blogger Memory Challenge: Tag, You're It!
Mareli at Elza Reads put up a book 'tag' that she joined and I thought I'd test my memory and see if I could come up with a book in the 10 categories. Of course, as soon as I saw her responses, it was hard to think of anything else. So, I'll post the questions first - my answers after so I don't influence your memory! :) Mareli found it originally at Carole from Reading Ladies. If you decide to play, link to me and leave me a comment so I can come see your answers! THE RULES

The Currently Reading Tag - Play Along?
I haven't done a 'tag' in a couple years and I came across this one on Emily's blog Budget Tales Book Blog who found it on Charlotte Somewhere. It's kind of a fun series of questions to get to know another reader's habits. Here goes: How many books do you usually read at once? Typically I have as many as three going - an audio for my commute (sometimes), a physical book that I take back and forth to work, and a Kindle book that I usually read before bed. Sometimes at the end
