August is Conquering the Book Stacks month! #ctbs

For the month of August, I will be participating in “Conquering the Book Stacks” – where I plan to read my own books that have been sitting on my bookshelf and try really hard not to buy any new ones. This all came about from a discussion on twitter between a bunch of avid book readers who seem to constantly have too many books to read and not enough time to read them. 

There are a bunch of us doing this and we will be tweeting with the hashtag #CTBS. 

So, what will I be reading during this event? My list is a combination of books for blog tours, books for book clubs, a library book or two (a have a few on hold and am just waiting for them to come in); and a bunch of books that have been sitting on my shelf – but I’ve added a challenge to this. The books I plan on reading from my bookshelf will be ones that have been sitting on my shelves since before the beginning of this year.

Books I need to read for reviews, book clubs or from the library:

• The Tudor Conspiracy by CW Gortner – started, need to finish
• Three Little Words by Susan Mallery
• Big Sky Wedding by Linda Lael Miller
• The Other Woman by Hank Phillippi Ryan
• The Perfume Collector by Kathleen Tessaro
• The Painted Girls by Cathy Marie Buchanan – started, need to finish
• The Comfort of Lies by Randy Susan Meyers
• Hunting Eve by Iris Johansen
• Vanish by Tess Gerritsen

Books that have been sitting on my shelf that I hope to read:

• Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen 
• Persuasion by Jane Austen
• Cloaked in Malice by Annette Blair
• A Fitting End by Melissa Bourbon
• The Deception of the Emerald Ring by Lauren Willig
• The Mephisto Club by Tess Gerritsen

It’s quite a random list, but all the books I plan to read from my shelves will help me with other reading challenges I’m participating in.

So, are you participating in #ctbs? Let me know!
