Seriously, I have got to give myself more incentive to see the '11 TBR Challenge through to the end! Apparently the idea that by participating will lead to more books off of Mount Holy TBR is not enough. *sigh*
I'm afraid of commitment...
I should really do this. My TBR is so out of control I'm discouraged from getting new books.
My sticking point is where I would post my monthly comments. I suppose I could use Twitter, but I don't know how I'd provide a link at signup.
Amy: Well you'll notice I read 6 category romances - LOL.
AL: Don't be afraid. We're all here to keep you from feeling scared :)
MaryK: Your twitter page is usually just twitter.com with your handle tacked on at the end. For example, you can see me at www.twitter.com/superwendy
If you can't figure it out, just drop me an e-mail (at the bottom of the TBR info page) with your Twitter name and I'll get you ready to roll :)
Janet W: Can't believe it: I bought 4 of the 12 books you reviewed for the TBR challenge based on your recs. Bet you can guess which ones (hint: cowboys & beta heroes).
Janet: Ooooh, please tell you got your hands on the Morsi! That was really the cream of the TBR crop last year.
