Today, Nicole mentioned that she will soon unveil her list of not to be missed books that are due to come out in 2006. I'm looking forward to seeing her list and dreading it at the same time.
For the past few weeks I've been working on a TBR Plan for the summer. After doing some spring cleaning around my house I realized that I own a disturbing amount of books that are waiting to be read. I knew the number of books in my TBR pile was large, but I didn't realize that it had gotten quite so out of control. Factor in the books that I want to read but aren't willing to pony up the money for, and the TBR stack is nearing epic proportions.
So what does an anal retentive nerd girl like me do in this situation? She draws up a plan, or more appropriately, a reading schedule. Sad, but true. I'm still early in the planning stages (I do have until June 1 to get my schedule finalized), but it is looking pretty packed. While I know it is impossible for me to get through every single book that is currently in my TBR pile, I am going to try my best to strike a balance between old and new books this summer. While I'm not listing the specific TBR titles (I'll leave the selection of those to my reading mood at the time), I am listing the titles of new releases that I know I am going to want to read when they come out. I already know of too many good books coming out this summer that are currently listed on my reading schedule, and Nicole is poised to send me over the edge and my careful plan straight into the toilet.
To quote Manogirl: Grrrr, just, grrrrr.
I'll post the beast that is my TBR Plan once I've seen the list Nicole has compiled.
