Benjamin ’s comments from the Book Hoarders Readers Group group.

Just got a more accurate number for my TBR list. 4,287 books, 1000 of which are audiobooks, and most are ebooks.

My name is Benjamin Thomas....and I'm a book hoarder. There. I said it. Besides being a book lover, reviewer, I also have several book blogs! Cool, eh? Currently I have 5,378 books total that I'm trying to reduce. But you know how that is; you just keep getting more, and MORE, and MORE books. The struggle is real. Mainly mysteries, thrillers, history, SFF. Historical, legal mysteries, traditional mysteries, action/adventure, military thrillers, espionage thrillers, technology, etc.

Just finished Red Specter by Andrews & Wilson from the Tier One Thriller series. EPIC, and I'm gonna say this is my #1 book of the year for military thrillers. If you haven't heard of this series, or read it yet, it's highly recommended. It's the complete package. Can't wait for the next one!

RED SPECTER: Red Specter

What books on your TBR, or bookshelf do you want to finish this month? I told myself I'd try to finish 1 a week! We'll see how that goes. *wink, wink*

What new books are you anticipating October 2019? And what's the size of your TBR list right now?

What's up readers!!

What books have you read this month? Have any great book recommendations? I just read the first book in the Hannibal Lecter series and it was a bombshell!

I'm also reading Father Divine's Bikes by Steve Bassett. A historical fiction crime novel set in the early New Jersey era.

Field of Valor by Matthew Betley, Spymaster by the prolific Brad Thor.

I'm currently over 1700 books on my TBR list, yikes!

Hi guys,

I'm currently reading Marie Silk's wonderful Davenport House series. What a surprise! Highly recommended if you like historical fiction.

My current threshold is no more than 2 books in January. What are they? Take a look below.


Spider Bones


The Newsmakers


You don't actually have to add in books to your TBR list at all. But we figured this might be unbearable given our love for books. So the standard is not to exceed the maximum threshold of 10% of the total selected number of books to be read per month. If you meet all of the requirements for the month you'll get to add one bonus book for the next month!

Feel free to to ask any questions here. Thanks.

Are you ready for 2017? Here it comes...

Has everyone paired up with at least one other person? The time has come folks. Let the games begin...

Nice! I found the addition of audiobooks critical in reaching my reading goals."


Critical? :p why?"


Otherwise I couldn't reach my target goal for the year without it. I do a lot of driving so listening to audiobooks is fairly easy and necessary.

Nice! I found the addition of audiobooks critical in reaching my reading goals.

Do you know how many books will you read in January? 11 more days to go!
I've decided to read 16 books a month. I'm probably shooting myself in the foot, but I'll go for it. Why not right? I'l try a mix of 2 audiobooks a week and two books a week.

Have you paired with anyone yet for the challenge yet? I'm paired with Sally Allen the great! We're pumped and see how January goes.
