The Growth of Mt. TBR

I constantly have too many books "waiting in the wings", sitting on Mt TBR (To Be Read)

The following list, all there because of somebody's recommendation, are all sitting on the "library face" (i.e. borrowed from the local library) of Mt. TBR. I usually try to read them in the order of their impending return to the library, but for you I have put them in alphabetical order.

Bear in mind, these are only the library books. There are also a number of other faces, all containing a daunting number of books, called "review", "lent-to-me-by-a-friend", and "leapt-off-the-shelf-into-my-shopping-basket" faces.

Some of the following library books will be returned unread to keep the librarian happy, but I'll order them again. I keep wishing I could discover how to read faster.

I am constantly trying to juggle the books I have out in order to get through them before the due date. Of those you listed I loved Silent in the Grave.

Of the ones on your list that I've read (about half), I'd recommend Ice Moon, which I mentioned in a comment on your recent German post. It has the added benefit of being short, so you can get around to the others quicker ;-)

See reading your TBR is bound to increase mine.
