This year, I added "TBLT" for my audio books --

To Be Listened To. It's my audio book version of the TBR. I didn't have one before this year. sigh. :) If someone has a better shorthand for it, I'll change to that. I haven't seen anyone else reference a TBLT pile (which isn't a pile, since it resides in an electronic library, like iTunes or whatever Windows has, so I guess I should call it my TBLT collection or TBLT library or something -- HELP!).

Very Helpful...

Where I don't spend a lot of time online chatting or stuff, these are very helpful to me.

Thank you,

Thanks Christa

Question...

Any idea what NMQ is?  I saw that on a blog...

Christa I'm really glad that

you re-posted this.  I can't tell you the number of times I'd check after seeing some acronym.
And if it wasn't here, there was always someone that knew.

Cool *two thumbs up* Wink

Kel, I'm just guessing...

but could it be "No More Question(s)" or something like?

I forgot, does anyone?

know acronyms for Spice, Mira, Kimani, Red Dress ink, LUNA, Worldwide Library, Steeple Hill or Briefs, Bites. I believe Undone is HHU and I think Bombshell is SBO.

Cool thanks Penn. I wouldn't have thought of that because I don't listen to audio books(I only started reading ebooks this year)

Glad these are helpful Kel. just goes to show you acronyms are all around us. I think I was watching American Idol last year and one of the contestants used one

Kaelee- I just find sometimes they are time savers instead of writing out Happily Ever After or hero or heroine or etc... in reviews or comments

Kalko- I think it took me half of 2007 to figure out TSTL(and when this was posted last year I still didn't have it right) but I didn't want anybody to think I was TSTL and ask LOL

that existed back when the line was around, we used SBS for Silhouette Bombshell. I've seen other people use SB, and I guess that makes sense b/c it gets the first letter of each word. There's not another line that could be SB is there?

I think that Spice, MIRA, and LUNA go by their full names.

I think Steeple Hill is SH and Red Dress Ink is RDI.

Those are the only ones that I think I know. :)

DH, DD, etc.

Hehe.  I always thought the "D" stood for "Darling."  I suppose "Dear" makes more sense!

the d

can stand for anything you like. if he's your darling husband, think of the d as darling, if he's devious that day he can be your devious husband(only you'll know what d stands for) and if he to reads the harlequin site he'll just see himself refered to as dhLaughing
