Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon Final Update

I really enjoyed the past couple of weeks and realize that I need to make extra effort in the future to fit more reading into my days. This may require starting up a petition to add at least 4 extra hours to each and every day so I can find some spare time. Please sign it if it comes across your desk! While I didn't finish all of my intended list of books to tackle, I am happy to say that I did, in fact, reach both of my goals for this read-a-thon! Not only did I catch up on my 2015 reading challenge I am FIVE books ahead now! *happy dance* My second goal was for my "read" shelf to exceed my "to-read" shelf, which it does! Even if only by one book, that still counts. Without further ado my final review for the read-a-thon...

Day 12 of the Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon

Sadly, real life is intervening again and I haven't had much time for reading. I did manage to finish Historical Mysteries, a nonfiction account of real life mysteries which turned out to be a bit dry.

Historical Mysteries by Andrew Lang
311pp
I give it

2 stars.

Not what I expected. The mysteries may be historical and are well researched, but hardly important or much of interest.

Waiting For Nick (The Stanislaskis: Those Wild Ukrainians #5)

Waiting For Nick by Nora Roberts
Book 5 in The Stanislaskis: Those Wild Ukrainians series

I give it

4 stars!

It was cute, plenty of laugh out loud humor and very little garbage drama usually found in romances.

Day 8 of the Tackle Your TBR Read-a-thon

Yeah, I know, I didn't update yesterday, but I had nothing to update as Sunday ended up being a very slow day for reading and I didn't finish any books at all. But I am back on track and finished a paranormal fantasy that every time I'd see it on my Kindle would think "Ooh, I wanna read that soon!"
