Currently I have about 42 books that need some love, whether it is from me or someone else.
I've cut those numbers down to about 38-40. Not a whole not, but there are still a few I know I will never get around to reading.
I'm giving away two boxes of romance books and possibly a box of fiction over in "Random and Not So Random Acts of Kindness" forum so I can make some room on my AvA shelf for the other books that will most likely be coming through. The drawing for the romance is on Jan. 14th, and if that goes well, I will draw the other box. Fiction box is still up in the air.
There's also a small series given to me by a friend that I'd like to eventually pass along once I am done reading it. She's trying to get reviews for them since she wrote them, and I know that would help dearly.
This upcoming year is going to have a lot of Rabcks, cleaning of shelves, and finally reducing my TBR pile to one or two, instead of over 40. That is absurd considering who really has that much time to read all those books anyways?
Oh the joys and curse of being a BCer. (=

House of A Thousand Lanterns
Little Women
Medalon
Fatal Attraction

MAKING AVA: 9
EXPLANATION: These books I have really looked hard at, and really thought about, and as much as I wanted to read them a while back, I don't want to read them as much anymore, or I know I won't be in the right mood for them, so these are being marked as AvA and possibly up for my giveaway bookboxes or rabcks.

THESE STATS CAN CHANGE AT ANY MOMENT. I could like a book when I start it, and not be able to finish it, or I could want to read a book, then take a second glance at it and change my mind. Who knows. That's what this challenge is for.
The annual library book fair is in May of 09, so I'm hoping to dimish my TBR pile quite a bit before then with some careful thinking, plotting, and honesty on books with myself.
NOTE: This list has changed about three times before the final post. A lot of back and forth from my TBR shelf and computer (which both are thankfully in my room). I have sorted through them all, and I believe these will be the stats for a while. I'm going to tackle the definite reads first, and then make final descions on the maybes afterwards. (=
