Happy New Year Hungry Readers!


Ah, yes. A new year means new resolutions (or goals, amibitions, false promises - whatever you choose to call them).

I have all the standard personal betterment aims: more time with family, exercise, sleep, veggies...you get the idea. Heck, it's your idea, too!

I also make all the usual writer pledges: I will finish one (at least!) of my pending manuscripts, launch it to the literary masses and sell a gazillion copies, etc., etc., etc.

But, as readers, I'm sure you're really only interested in my TBR list for 2016. In the spirit of full disclosure-ship, I admit that I do not believe I will summit this mountain of text. However, if I can manage to carve out even a third of the great book behemoth, I am planting a flag in my front yard. Or perhaps my back yard, right by the spot where a new hammock should go to help me devour more delicious reads in 2017. ;)

  1. Happy New Year! Looks like you have quite a list of books to read in 2016. I am starting with the books I have borrowed from people. I can read them and return.

    Wishing you a healthy and happy 2016!

    1. That's why I can't borrow books from friends; too much pressure! The 4-week library period is all I can handle. ;)
