Blargh

[indiana_j]

It's hoooooot.  *whiiiiine*

And I'm cleaning.  Which, actually, is a good sign.  It means I've shaken off the blargh that's been piling up around my head for weeks now.  I know it's bad when the mess doesn't even bother me anymore but I reached my breaking point this morning.  On top of the clutter, I was running out of room for all of my TBR books so I had to do a little bit of rearranging.  (I shuffled over the little bookcase and my desk to the right and moved the three drawer night stand on the light side of the desk were there's now room; the books run across the entire tops of all three now. ...XD!)

So I've dusted, swept, cleaned off and threw stuff into the closet (what?  It's a project for another weekend).  The bed has stuff on it because I'm waiting for the laundry to be done and then it all goes up.  And maybe I'll take pictures because my mom is always amused when my room is actually, you know, clean.

And now, because I like lists, my TBR books:

1. Pride and Predjuce and Zombies by Jane Austin and Seth Graham- Smith (Purchased; eh, I don't think I'm going to be able to get through this...)

Good Lord, woman. Your TBR pile is huge! And there's nothing wrong with a good Shannon Drake every now and again. ;D

It's taking over my room! It used to be just on top of the small bookcase but it's slowly edging it's way out! Paperbackswap is addicting - and I've got another 18 credits, soon to be 20, to use!

*grins* I was in the mood for some pirate romance and, boom, there she was. I don't think I've ever read her before.

Oh thank goodness. Someone else with a TBR pile like mine. I'm heading up to about 75 unread books: I was good and getting the pile down for a while, but it's leapt ahead in the last few weeks. Am back into making a concerted effort again now . . .

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one with a Monster TBR pile. And mine is still going to grow since I have I've got, oh, 18 more credits with Paperbackswap. *dead*

I'm reading more on the weekends to catch up (generally I read on the commute both was and during lunch)!
