I have a massive TBR and with the February Mini-Challenge of the "one book leads to another" it was fun putting the titles or author's together. This challenge is also great at pulling me out of reading slumps. The book reviews are influencing me and since joining the Challenge in 2006, I've found that I'm looking to read books others have recommended or I think others might enjoy reading a review about. Whereas before the Book Challenge, I tended to just pick a line (for the flavour) and just go with about anything in the TBR. I'd pick linked books and line them up and then put in a few single titles in between before lining up another set of linked books. I like having my reading TBR all lined up so that when I finish one book the next is ready to go. Less pondering, and more reading! Our March mini-challenge is another favourite of mine, the "new-to-you". I think I've read all of the lines now, but there are tons and tons of new authors in my TBR that I've been meaning to get to. So here's to another great reading month!

new to you
I went through my book shelves yesterday and pulled out all my new to you books and ended up with 60. There are still two lines I haven't tried, Nocture and the new Love Inspired Historicals. Good month to try them. I like knowing what my next read will be too instead of standing in front of the bookcase conteplating what to read next.
