TBR Tuesday – 10 March 2015

TBR TuesdayHow to Marry a Millionaire Vampire
Author: Kerrelyn Sparks

Purchased: May 2010

Review:
I had completely forgotten that I had purchased this book back in 2010 until I saw a discussion on Facebook about the last book in the series being released. I was intrigued by the discussion, so I went to see how the series started and saw that the first book had been lost in Mt Purchased-But-Not-Read. I’m guessing that I purchased it when I went through my vampire phase a few years ago, but got burnt out on the genre before I could actually read it.

Overall, I enjoyed How to Marry a Millionaire Vamp – I thought it was a bit of a different take on the whole vampire tale and the added element of a vampire needing a dentist made me chuckle. In general, I found that the book moved at a decent pace and there weren’t many areas that lagged, so it surprises me that I waited so long to read it. In the end, I gave it 3 stars, but I was intrigued enough by the world building that I may look at later books in the series in the future.

TBR Tuesday – Introduction

TBR Tuesday

I don’t know about everyone out there in bloglandia, but when I bought my first kindle in 2008 (yes, I’ve had one since almost inception), I went mad one-clicking on freebies (which I still do to an extent) and buying lots of books. Fast forward to 2015 (7.5ish years later) and I have a virtual TBR pile that likely resembles Mt Everest. At last count, my amazon account teetered somewhere in the 5000 book range (and that isn’t including books I bought from other ebook retailers etc).

I realized the severity of this problem when an author friend on Facebook posted an advertisement for a new book by an author she likes and in my digging I realized that I had not 1 but 2 books by her that I had bought back in 2012 and never read. So I need to do something about my “problem”.

The goal of TBR Tuesday will be to post short reviews of books that have been on my TBR pile for more than a year. This year date will be rolling (so for March 2015, any book purchased prior to March 1, 2014 will be game; for April, any book purchased prior to April 1, 2014 will be game etc).

My goal for 2015 is to clear off at least 20 books from the pile (but hopefully more). I hope others with similar piles join in 😉
