State of the TBR: 157

I actually read two things this month that were already on my TBR list (the rest of them were from the library; I only put things on my TBR to keep track of what I actually own, both on paper and on Kindle). But library book sales... they are my greatest weakness.

Awww, I'm sorry you couldn't finish the Sanderson. It sounded like you'd been looking forward to it a lot when you talked about it!

I was! I'd heard so many good things about it. But in the end I was about one part intrigued, one part bored, and one part annoyed, so the negative parts overwhelmed the positive parts.

*sad noise* I'm sorry to hear that, but I totally understand. I haven't read that particular book, but it's sadly quite common when I read a book that a lot of my friends like.

I was joking with Pen about checking out Zombies vs Unicorns! It came up on a library search, and I went to get it, but someone had gotten to it before I did. :(

Aww, I hope you get a chance to read it! I liked it a lot (obviously). I even read almost all of the zombie stories. And some of the unicorn stories are delightfully disturbing.
