This week I’m answering: I’m really upset by (book/author/bookish-news)…

Friday was a sad moment. I live in an apartment in the city which means that I am prone to cockroaches. I found that 1 of my 3 bookshelves had an infestation among all the books and I had to throw out 50 of my books. They were not salvageable. I made inventory before the tossing and hope to replenish with gift cards from the upcoming holiday season. So upsetting! I had all my Outlander and Game of Thrones books along with classics on that shelf. Also all my Colleen Hoover books. Sad times.

This week’s random question: What is on your current TBR pile?

Like most of us I am sure that are TBR piles are massive. But these are 3 books that I want to get read in the next month. I started My Lady Jane and have roughly 200 more pages to go. I feel like the action is really picking up so these should fly by when I have a spare moment to pick this book up. 1Q84 has been a book I kept passing in the bookstore and finally a few weekends ago I bit the bullet and picked it up. I decided that day that instead of finishing my current read that I would begin this monstrosity of a 1000+ page book. I’m really enjoying it’s uniqueness so far. Lastly, I want to read The German Girl. Simon and Schuster kindly sent the book to me as an ARC and it gets released October 18th. I would love to have a review up before then.
