LOL, are you crazy girl? I see 4 of them that are on my TBR pile so you're not alone, lol.
Wow. That's a lot of books!
You have to ask, Dot? It's kind of like this, I can't pass up a good book. I will rarely say no to reviews, but I've had to lately since it's not fair to expect an author to wait so long. The majority of these titles are books that I've purchased or won, so I can still make room for virtual book tours from time to time, but mostly I'm just reading because I enjoy it.
See Ellen, I wasn't kidding. I need help. LOL!

All I can say is WOW! I'm trying to read one book a book this year.
Happy reading.

Ohmigoodness, I thought I was bad! I have sooooo many books in my TBR file too, but it seems the ones I am sent for review has to take precedence! I'd just love to be standed in a cabin in the woods with no electricity (no computers, phones, etc.) where I could just and read the books I have accumulated that I want to read! :-)
Wow. Your TBR pile looks like mine - and I thought I had the biggest one around!
Isn't it just insane, ladies? I often buy some of my clients other books, which adds several books to this list. All of Marilyn Meredith's books, and those she writes under F.M. Meredith, I bought because I wanted to read her two series from the beginning. Pamela Samuels Young, Marta Stephens, and Roberta Isleib's books I bought because they had been on tour and I wanted to read those.
Honestly, working in book promotion can be very dangerous. LOL!

You'll enjoy "...And Night Falls" by Tommie Lyn - it's a fast paced read.
