meganbmooreAnd another long wait between allowing myself to count recent acquisitions as part of the reading backlog. A lot of this is me trying to expand my reading a bit more beyond SFF and historical/fantasy mystery/romance/adventure, with some success, though still somewhat centering around my usual fare even then. That 99 cents book sale a few weeks back helped.
For those newer to the f-list (as there are a decent number): I post my recent acquisitions to give an idea of what I may or may not read soon, and for anyone to cast votes for what I should read first/sooner (though I don’t always follow those instructions!). Some of this is the result of lovely people sending me boxesto clear out their shelf space. I should also mention that I’m kinda aggressive about finding good bargains on books.
ALSO! I have recently acquired 2 small bookcases and will soon get a 3rd. All free. (Chruch nursery director’s son and his family are moving to Florida.) As you can see, this is a good thing. Oh, and the title of the post refers to the fact that I am forbidden to die while I still have a reading backlog.
And since the Adult Literacy Council booksale is in 6 weeks, I will try to not allow myself to buy books in between, as I won’t get around to anything else new before then.
