What’s on your “TBR” (to be read) list?
Winter is on its way, although the forecast has backed off the snow that was predicted for my location this week, and that means more time for reading. (I hope!) So, what’s on my TBR (to-be-read list?)
Let’s start with one that’s been nagging me— Tripwire, the third Jack Reacher book. I got about a third of the way through it, and gave up. I wasn’t getting into the story. I feel obligated to give it another try because I enjoyed the first two in the series.
Then there’s two books I should be getting for my birthday—a Craig Johnson (Longmire) book and a Janet Evanovich
(Stephanie Plum) novel. Not the newest Longmire, because I wait until they come out in paperback. After my disappointment in the book two (?) years ago, I’m not as much as much of a fan as I used to be. And I’m backfilling the Stephanie Plum books because I started reading them in the middle.
Next comes “The Time Is Now, A Call to Uncommon Courage” by Joan Chittister. I’ve mentioned her on this blog before. She’s the Roman Catholic nun famous for the quote “I do not believe that just because you’re opposed to abortion that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed.” She also happens to have been one of my teachers.
I also have a personal goal to read at least one book by every author who participates in this hop on a regular basis. I’m not doing a good job on that one. I’ve read books by two of them, bought books by two of them, and I still need to buy books by the rest of them. (No names. I don’t want to get in trouble with any of them!) Hey. I’ll get there one of these days.
What else? I bought a couple yellow-cover Nancy Drew books a while back to add to my collection. I should read them before I put them on the shelf. The racism in the last one I read has made me hesitate.
I’m trying to make it though a bunch of books I’ve downloaded to my Kindle. The quality varies, and I’m not finishing ones that don’t capture my attention after a chapter or two. I’m even making a mental list of ones I need to remove. (No names here, either.)
That’s enough to last me a month or so. But I’m sure I’ll find more books to add to my list by the time I get done reading the other posts on this hop!
Off-topic- Speaking of the kindle- is there a way to get the library to show books in alphabetical order by author’s name? I’m using the kindle app and haven’t found a way to do it. I can sort by titles alphabetically, but not by author.
Anyway, until next time, stay safe!
