Like Kris, you have a book to cover every possible reading mood. :-)

I want to read 11/22/63 too but the sheer length of it keeps it from moving up quicker in Mount TBR. I have to be in a certain mood to take on a longer book and I guess I haven't been in one lately, lol.

I definitely try to create a mixed genre list each month to wipe out the feelings of obligation and allow me some semblance of mood choices. It's working!

I have amassed an unbelievable audiobook collection, which is why I'm keeping this list. Next year, I'll create a planning thread for them so I can keep track. And, so many of them are single titles, which I find even more exciting. I want to get to 11/22/63 SO bad but...

What a diverse list Jonetta. I loved 11/22/63. Wonderful book. My first and to date only Stephen King book.

Thanks, Angela! I'm gonna have to find a way to fit this in soon:)

Very interesting list as always . Your list always has some series that I have forgotten about. Such as Chesapeake Diaries by Mariah Stewart. I've read book one and then forgot about it. I remember liking it. Have you read any of her romantic suspense? I've liked them.

It's a group read so it should be interesting!

I haven't yet. Thought I would start with this series since I've collected all of the books:)

The Detective Jackson series looks good Jonetta! How are you liking it?

Ahhhhh, so many I want to read on that list!!!!

Jonetta and I are quite similar in our reading plans as I have been following her awesome ideas.

I love it and have struggled to fit it back into my schedule. I have all on audio.

That's because so many come from you:)

Hahaha, that is very true ;)

Thanks, Stephanie!

Had to add the newest In Death book to my plan! Can't believe I forgot.

It is SO good, Jonetta. I'm disappointed in the TV series though. They changed a lot and it missed out on the magic of the story.

Good to know, Lauren.

I know...I forgot to put the audio on hold at my library :(
