April 2016 Wrap-Up: Books and Reviews
Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update
I started April with 197 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …203! Let’s not talk about April, you guys. April was rough.
…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:
Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile

Changes to the TBR pile
Added to my TBR pile (all-around shame!) | |

– The Atomic Weight of Love by Elizabeth J. Church | – Longbourn by Jo Baker |
– Autumn Bones by Jacqueline Carey | – Life After Life by Kate Atkinson |
Non-TBR acquisitions (storage-space-related shame!) | |
– The Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson | – The Immortals by Tamora Pierce |
– Saga, Vol. 4 by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples | – The Unwritten, Vol. 1: Tommy Taylor and the Bogus Identity by Mike Carey & Peter Gross |
– Saga, Vol. 5 by Brian K. Vaughan & Fiona Staples | – Flight, Vol. 1 ed. by Kazu Kibuishi |
Added to my eTBR pile (non-storage-space-related shame!) | |
– A Letter of Mary by Laurie R. King | – The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith |
– The Spirit Ring by Lois McMaster Bujold | * Pursuant to the discussion on this post, I’ve decided to create an eTBR pile for e-books and audiobooks that I accept for review or for which I actually pay money. I’m not adding them into my total TBR numbers, but I have to fess up about them somewhere. Keeps me honest. |

That’s exactly right. My brain was not in a place to handle anything more complicated than mildly trashy teen paranormal romance that I’d already read several times before. :)
