I’ve recently made a major change to this page. I removed the long list of my attempt at posting all my TBR books, and instead put the ARC-alanche pile here. To view my entire library, Click here for my LT catalogue.
This is the list of all the books for which I’ve promised a review. I’m trying to behave myself and not request any more until I get caught up on all of them, which means I only request the ones I’m really, truly, DESPERATELY dying to read now. They’re listed in alphabetical order by author, because GOODNESS KNOWS I can’t remember the order in which they arrived! I will do my level best to link the reviews as I read them.

In the Shadow of Mt. TBR 
I’ve enjoyed looking at your list. Many are on mine as well, some I’ve never heard of, and some are so fantastic. The Glass Castle is one of the best books I’ve ever read. All the King’s Men and How green was my Valley are on my Top 10. Under Milk Wood–stunning. A Tree Grows in Brooklyn–love it so much. So many others on your list just make my heart palpitated with fond memories!! But if I went back and read all the books I loved once, I could never tackle my own mountain of books!
I totally suggest you pick up Wild Swans. While I have not read it yet, I intend on reading it before the summer is up and it would be great to compare notes with someone.
I just think it is hillarious that you call your TBR list Mt. TBR. I have been meaning on commenting since I first saw your blog several months ago. It cracks me up. I was thinking about it just this weekend when I had to move the 800+ books off of my TBR shelves for a home repair project — they are now in huge, teetering stacks along my mantle and around my living room. I thought, “Wow! Now I have a whole TBR Mountain Range.”
Hi, KAMom ~ I know you from LT and have been meaning to get over here to your blog. Love what you call it and am impressed that you have it so organized. I’ve got lists of TBRs scattered around my apartment and on both my computers, piles of them unlisted and more on my reserved list from the library, and some on my amazon Wish List. If I ever put them all together on one list, I might come close to your volume ~ but maybe not.
I added In the Shadow of Mt. TBR to my Favorites. 🙂

I can’t even look at this, it’s scaring me! My TBR is probably this bad too but I try not to lay it out there. Maybe I should, maybe that would stop me from buying more books!
Wow, what a big TBR. I count books that I don’t own but want to read on my TBR as well as books I own.
I see you read ARC’s. I am hosting the 2009 ARC challenge to get threw some ARC’s. If your interested, go here:

Wow, just, wow.
I wouldn’t know how to start listing my TBRs. I’m impressed!

[…] It’s an ARC-alanche!! […]
WOW!
Just wanted to say what a great idea this is. I didn’t actually look up any of the books but found seven titles I’d like to know more of.
9 of those there listed titles are still in my pile too. But 10 of those listed I have read and reviewed. So shame on me, and good for me too 😉
