Do you try
to stay current in your reading, to keep abreast of the market, or do you read
from your TBR pile at random? Do you read classic mysteries?
I like my reading
the same way I like my music, without boundaries. So, give me historical
fiction, or old school Agatha Christie and as long as I can open the page and
fall into the story, genre is never a consideration when making my decision on
what to read. Don’t tell anybody, but I can still get into a little romance, every
now and again too, even if no one dies.
Like most
people I know, my TBR list is a bit on the out-of-control side of things. Didn’t
seem to matter at all the last time I was in my favorite book store and had to
sneak out to my car to hide the three bags of books I bought, so my friends wouldn’t
think I had lost it and spent my rent on more books. I didn’t, but I won’t
promise I never will. Who could blame me. I guess you could say, the bookstore
is my casino.
Most
people have a (to be read) TBR list. Mine is more of a TBR pile. I tend to read based on my mood. Currently, I’m
feeling a bit murdery, so I’m in the mood for one of my old favorites, John
Sanford, I miss Luke Davenport. It’s been a while since I’ve checked in. I’m
sure he has a tale to tell. Then of course I must check in with Ms. Holly,
Stephen King’s newest hero. And I’m always in the mood for whatever my writing
friends are cooking up.
My current
read is Heather Levy’s, Hurt for Me, it’s a juicy one. I’m enjoying quite a bit. I’m also excited by new
releases coming soon from Yasmin Angoe, Faye Snowden and Jess Loury. The world is
filled with more books than I’ll ever have time to read, as is my bookshelves. That’s
the thing that keeps me up and reading late into the night, the fear of never
being able to finish all the books on my list. But I’ll die happy trying.
