TBR Pile Knockout for March 2013


Do you a need a kick in the behind to get those tbr books read? I know I sure do. I fear one day my desiccated corpse will be found lying beneath them. 

Because I have, ehm, a few review books lined up I'm only going to choose one tbr book per month. My March book choice was chosen for me in my "Pick It For Me Giveaway" by winner Anna @ Herding Carts & Burning Soup (congrats Anna!) and I'll be reading A Gentleman Undone by Cecilia Grant sometime in March. Look for another Pick It For Me Giveaway coming soon where I'll be grabbing up another random group of books from my pile.
Here's the scoop on the TBR Pile Knockout from Anna:

TBR Pile Knockout is a bi-weekly meme hosted by Ana of Beach Bum Reads and Anna of Herding Cats & Burning Soup. This meme was created to tackle our HUGE and STILL GROWING TBR piles.&nbsp


We'll be posting the 1st and 3rd Monday each month. Our goal is to make a rather nice dent in our TBR piles. So, aside from our other lovely reads, we will be making sure ONE book out of our TBR pile will be read :) 

Want to join in? Check out the rules:

1. Go to your TBR pile and randomly pick one book off your list!
  • We'll be using random.org to pick our reads.  
  • Type in the number of books in your TBR pile where it says "MAX"  
  • Then click generate and it will give you your randomly selected book!  
  • NOTE: If the book chosen via random.org is part of a series, you can go ahead and read the first book in said series. 
2. Come back to either of the host sites every other week (or however often you'd like to join in) and link up your "TBR Pile Knockout" post in the linky!

Don't know what to write in your post? You can Add the cover for your book, the book summary and details (author, publisher, etc.), you can leave a line or two on how long that book was sitting in your TBR Pile, or just tell us what you think about starting this one! You can always add in a review for your last pick too!

Don't have a blog? You can still join in! Just link in your Goodreads reviews or add link the Amazon/B&N page for the book and leave your thoughts in a comment on the hosts page :)

  1. Sweet! Yay for joining in. Boo for one of the people running the meme to not have her post up yet! Eep! Taking myself off to work on my post now :) LOL

    Hope this one turns out to be a good one! I still really like that cover and the purple for some reason.

    Happy reading!

    1. I hope it's a good one and that I picked it up because of a good review and not just because the pretty cover sucked me in. I'll let you all know either way :)

    1. Thanks Ana. I think we all have the same tbr troubles :) It's some sort of blogger curse. The new and shiny titles always call to me first.

      It sounds good, if its kinky that's even better.
