Here I am. Trying to get back to normal and catching up with blogs. I have been reading quite a bit out of my TBR and decided to check my spreadsheet to see how many books are left there. Imagine my surprise when it came to 100!!!! I have made progress it seems. The last time I had checked it came to about 200. I think that was two years ago.
Here is my secret... you must read more from your TBR than you buy! Doh!
Since I'm unemployed I have been reading more from the library. When I see a book I want, I first check my library catalog. I have found that our library keeps a great selection of romances. Out of the 28 books I have read so far this year, 14 were out of my TBR with a couple bought new and the rest were library books.
P.S. I have been out of the blogging world lately and am desperately trying to catch up. I thought I saw a comment post by Maili over at DA. Was I imagining that this is our same Maili from mcvane.com? Someone (Kristie?) set me straight. She's been gone a long time (but not forgotten).

She also started a new blog - but she's still in the tinkering phase. I'm hoping she sticks with it!

Thanks, Wendy! I really missed her and her great sense of humor and quirky view of life.
Renee, I'm so honored you're reading my book! Yippee! :-)
Shelby: And loving it too! I know I'll be staying up late tonight to finish it.
I've really cut back the number of books I buy as well, but I keep on adding more books to the list to borrow from the library, so the list never actually seems to get any smaller!
Marg: I was having that problem too. I think I have just cut back on the newer books I want to read. I'm just getting pickier and it has to have great reviews before I'll put it on my list. Maybe I'll get more adventurous when my TBR gets a bit smaller.
I'm reading TBR books but not making nearly the dent you have. Trying to stay ahead by reading more than the books I buy in a month is a challenge.
