Paper TBR: 55

Finally managed to get it down some more! I am nowhere near as close to my goal as I should be (for reference, the goal is getting it from 64 to 32), but I might actually be able to manage it.

Better late than never, as they say. I always find it interesting to peek at what other people are reading. It looks like you made it through some good ones this month!

I'm also nowhere near my Mt TBR goal for the year, either. Still, if you keep going at this rate I think you'll make it in the end.

Ooh, Rosemary and Rue! I see you only gave it 3 stars, which is fair. For me, it was the 4th book in that series that really kicked it off, and basically everything else she's written since the first three Toby books has been fantastic. It's very worth it to make it through the first three books so you can read the rest of the series.

But McGuire's pretty much my favorite author for grownups, so I'm biased!

I really thought I would like Rosemary and Rue! But I found the plot a little too predictable, and I couldn't really bring myself to care much about Toby (mainly because she had a husband and child she didn't tell about being a changeling, and she never redeemed herself from that IMO). I also thought she had too many love interests :-P Do you think I would like the rest of the series considering those complaints? To be honest, I'm not inclined to read two more books just to get to a fourth that might be better when I have so many books I want to read already!
