There are definitely a few I keep coming back to, like Tess Gerritsen's duo and Lisa Gardner's people, especially DD Warren.Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-78585062617849944832017-01-19T12:00:03.982-05:002017-01-19T12:00:03.982-05:00I used to keep my TBR list on an Excel spreadsheet...I used to keep my TBR list on an Excel spreadsheet but finally threw it away. It's easier to just click "Want to Read" on Goodreads and peruse that list from time to time. I gave up on most mystery series except for a couple of new ones I like, and I'm reading more nonfiction I pick up at the library from the "New" shelves. Yes, I'm on Goodreads and we're friends there.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-8001582911493363712017-01-18T15:08:26.737-05:002017-01-18T15:08:26.737-05:00Realism is not my strong suit, Loni. :)Realism is not my strong suit, Loni. :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-7574131680317647102017-01-18T14:15:27.192-05:002017-01-18T14:15:27.192-05:00I have a Goodreads list, but that's the closes...I have a Goodreads list, but that's the closest.

I just checked and my TBR list on Goodreads numbers 122 - I thought it was more, but there are definitely other blog pals' books I need to add. Not to mention the physical books on my shelves, including those from my wife when we moved in together - we've got Dickens, Austen, Hemingway etc I haven't read... she's much more well-read in terms of the classics than me!Nick Wilfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03841776353790635132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1640755272364792151.post-37571866083144122492017-01-18T07:18:22.148-05:002017-01-18T07:18:22.148-05:00I've got one of those, too.

My list is on Goodreads, I add books randomly as I read about them, but recently had a cull - it's still long, but now filled with books I really want to read rather than added politely. As much as I'd like to read all my blog-friends' books, some of them are simply not my thing. (And I completely understand when my books aren't their thing!)
