And 3 Stars
My normal routine when I see a book recommended or listed on a blog that I would like to read is to list it to my wish list at Paperbackswap. Unless it is one I just have to have right now and I order it from my sister's bookstore or Amazon.
My To-Be-Read stacks are huge and I figure my the time a current "hot" read gets to the top of that wish list and a book is getting sent to me I will have made a dent in the stacks to make room for it. The reason I started this challenge was to clear 12 books from my stacks that I wanted to read just for me, for fun, no review required, no pressure. I usually receive about one wish list book a month so this challenge is perfect, right???
It was going fine until this past week. In the span of just 2 days, 14, yes 14, really 14, wish listed books were accepted into the Paperbackswap system and I was in the Number 1 spot. There are 14 books headed my way. That just blew this whole challenge out of the water for me. I love getting books but 14 in 2 days in absolutely, positively unreal.
I am just wondering what all your To-Be-Read stacks look like as we enter the 8th month of this challenge. How do you decide what to read for fun? Are your stacks shrinking even just a little bit? or are you like me and feel you may wake up one day just buried in books? lol
HAPPY READING EVERYONE!!!!!
I have also included a Mr. Linky tool at the bottom of this post in case you blogged about your JUST FOR FUN book or if you want to recommend your JUST FOR FUN book, feel free to leave a note in the comment section below this post.

My book is read and a review posted here: http://annsreadingcorner.blogspot.com
I really enjoy seeing what everyone else read, and how they were rated!
I'm pretty sure I will be buried in books someday! I bring them in much faster than I can read them.
I'm trying to stay on top of it for the rest of the year! Here's hoping haha!!
Also, I can't believe you got 14 books! That's amazing, although it's overwhelming, you've gotta admit, it's quite remarkable!
I am going to have to come back and get some of these titles.
