TBR Challenge

I was going to post these every month, but I forgot. Bad Darla.

Here's the post from October's TBR Challenge: TBR Challenge

November's TBR Challenge: Read a book that begins with a description of the weather.
  • I read Heat Stroke by Rachel Caine. It began, "There was a storm brewing over Church Falls, Oklahoma."

    This TBR Challenge was much more successful. I'd been putting off reading this one, the second in the series, because I really liked the first one, and worried that the second wouldn't hold up. It had been in my TBR pile for quite a while--probably a year and a half, or since it first came out. I read the 3rd one in November as well, and the 4th is still in my TBR pile, but I don't think I'll wait as long to read it.


December's TBR Challenge: Read a book by an author with the same first and last initials.
  • The book I picked for the TBR Challenge was Record Time by Beverly Brandt. I loved her books written as Jacey Ford, so I went out and bought all her Beverly Brandt books without having read any of them. I read the first one and loved it, but again, left the rest in the TBR pile for fear of disappointment. I'm sensing a theme, here.
  • I also read a few other books that fit the criteria: Alley Kat Blues by Karen Kijewski, "The Breed Next Door" by Lora Leigh in Hot Spell, Axel of Evil by Alina Adams, and Season of Fire by Joseph Judge, but since they were just next up on my TBR pile, I don't think they really count.
January's TBR Challenge: Read a book with an address in the title. You can be as creative as you like in defining "address," but be prepared to explain.

Some examples from my shelves:
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams
The Far Ends of Time and Earth by Isaac Asimov
Aspen by Lynn Erickson
Montana Sky by Nora Roberts

As one of those first/last initial authors, I say everyone should follow your example! Even if it is January already.

Nice to meet you, Alina. I loved Axel of Evil, by the way, and have put the rest of your books on my to-be-bought list. I was kicking myself for not doing that after I read and loved Annie's Wild Ride several years ago.
