Reading My TBR Piles ~ June 2022 Edition #TBR

   

YIKES!!

Look familiar? This is sometimes how my TBR piles/shelves feel to me. I have decided to make a more concerted effort to whittle down my TBR books. These will be books that on not on my review stack, but books that I own. These could be print, e-book, or audio-books, just books that I have been wanting to read. So, on the first Wednesday of each month I'm going to post the books that I read the previous month with the goal to clear off my TBR shelves.

*****************

I haven't posted one of these since March so this is quite a list I guess. Compiling this did make me realize that I'm better at clearing out my audiobooks than my print books. But I guess there's nothing wrong with that. 

What have you recently cleared off of your TBR shelf?

Print

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? April 18, 2022 #IMWAYR

       

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's an opportunity to visit other blogs and to comment on their reads. And ... you can add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are! 

**************************************

March 21st was the last Monday that I posted one of these posts. By that next Monday, we were already off on our 3-week road trip to see family and friends around the country. Our first stop was to attend Hubs aunt's 80th birthday celebration in Kansas City. It was great seeing family members that we haven't see in a long time. I hope I'm as spry and with it at 80 as Aunt Sandy is now. 

Next planned stop was to see one of my best friends growing up, the maid of honor in our wedding many, many years ago. She figured out that we last saw each other 40 years ago! How does that happen and time fly by like that? It was so wonderful seeing her again and catching up. It was like old times, lots of laughs and reminiscing. 

Our ultimate goal was to land in Tennessee (yep, a long way from South Dakota) to visit our son and his family. They recently moved there from Florida. Our grandson turned 13 while we were there and it was super special to celebrate his birthday with him. I totally loved all hugs and attention from the three grands, our son, and his wonderful wife. It's beautiful there in the Smoky Mountains and I can't wait to go back. I imagine it's spectacular in the fall with the changing colors. 

So this week's post is for several weeks worth of reading, although it's a lot less than my normal reading would have been. With so much to see and do over the last three weeks, my reading life really suffered. I don't even want to know how far behind I am on my Goodreads goal. 😬

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you all have a good week. 

Happy reading!

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? January 4, 2016

Hello! Welcome to It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? This weekly meme, hosted by Book Date, is where we share what we have read this past week and what our plans are for the upcoming week. It’s a great way to see what others are reading and to discover books to add to your own To Be Read list. You never know where that next great read may come from!

I didn't post last week so my list is kind of long, it's two weeks worth of reading.
