Cleaning Up My TBR - Romance Writers Weekly - #lovechatwrite

This week on the blog hop:

Writers are readers too! Write a review for a book within your genre.

My ereader routinely has numerous pages in the "unread" category. In order to get my “to be read” pile get under control, I stopped getting books from the library, cancelled my Kobo Plus subscription, and started with the oldest book in my TBR list.

I no longer force myself to finish books. I’ve come to accept that some will never be my cup of tea. This includes many incredibly successful books, not just unknown authors. So I was very pleased that I found several immensely enjoyable books in my virtual pile.

First off, a nod to Jennifer Cruise and Bob Mayer. I preordered their Liz Danger books as I’ve been jonesing for a new Cruise for years now. The trilogy did not disappoint! While there were several copy-editing issues with Book One, those decreased dramatically in Books Two and Three, and they were mere pebbles on the road to my enjoyment of this witty, sarcastic, action-packed, thrilling, and sexy series.

I was also delighted in a book that I took a complete chance on. “The Murder of Mr. Wickham” by Claudia Gray is a very clever cozy mystery. The author brings together all the couples from Jane Austen’s books and traps them (by a severe rainstorm) at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Knightley…with Mr. Wickham as an uninvited and very unwelcome guest. The author chose a chronology for Austen’s books and extrapolated the ages of the characters from that. For example, Darcy and Elizabeth have a twenty-year-old son, and yet other couples are newly married. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be looking for the next book in the series.
