84884 I didn't quite make it to the top of Mt. Vancouver in the end, but I didn't do too badly, considering my reviewing commitments exploded this year. If I've counted right, I managed 33 out of the 36 I'd hoped for.

I will admit that a large number of these titles were audiobooks, but I did have print/kindle versions of them prior to 2013.

The Black Madonna
Miss Jacobson's Journey
Wicked Intentions
Notorious Pleasures
Scandalous Desires
Thief of Shadows
A Rogue by Any Other Name
Much Ado About You
Just Like Heaven
The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie
Ruined by Rumor
Devil in Winter
The Lady's Companion
The Dangerous Lord Darrington
Vicar's Daughter to Viscount's Lady
Fallen
The Duchess War
Garland of Straw - I wasn't able to get a copy until this year, but it's been on my "want to read" list for over 20 years!
The Spymaster's Lady
A Christmas Promise
A Christmas Bride (The Ideal Wife #3)
Castles
For My Lady's Heart
Midsummer Moon
The Dream Hunter
Saving Grace
Stranger in My Arms
Tempting the Bride
The Counterfeit Coachman
A Kiss For Midwinter
It's in His Kiss
Ten Things I Love About You
More Than a Stranger
The Paid Companion

I'm too knackered now to do the clever bit!

84884 And another one... Thief of Shadows (Maiden Lane, #4) by Elizabeth Hoyt

It's sad that I'm barely at the half way point, but my reviewing activities have exploded somewhat this year and I've had a lot of new stuff to get through. So I might not make the 36, but I'm going to get a few more done at least!

I'm about to start Garland of Straw (Civil War, #2) by Stella Riley , which has been on my TBR list for more than twenty years!

84884 It's been a while since I checked in, but my "mount-tbr" shelf is showing that so far I've checked off the following titles:

Wicked Intentions (Maiden Lane, #1) by Elizabeth Hoyt Notorious Pleasures (Maiden Lane, #2) by Elizabeth Hoyt Scandalous Desires (Maiden Lane, #3) by Elizabeth Hoyt A Rogue by Any Other Name (The Rules of Scoundrels, #1) by Sarah MacLean Much Ado About You (Essex Sisters, #1) by Eloisa James
Just Like Heaven by Julia Quinn The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie (Highland Pleasures, #1) by Jennifer Ashley Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3) by Lisa Kleypas The Black Madonna (Civil War, #1) by Stella Riley The Lady's Companion by Carla Kelly Miss Jacobson's Journey (Rothschild Trilogy, #1) by Carola Dunn Fallen by Celeste Bradley Vicar's Daughter to Viscount's Lady by Louise Allen The Dangerous Lord Darrington by Sarah Mallory Ruined by Rumor by Alyssa Everett

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that I'm not really sticking to my list! And quite a few of these have been audio versions of books I've had for ages, but I'm told they still count! ;-)

I'm halfway through the audio of The Duchess War (Brothers Sinister, #1) by Courtney Milan , which IS on my list, so I'll be able to cross off at least one more.

84884 Three more down:

Devil in Winter (Wallflowers, #3) by Lisa Kleypas Vicar's Daughter to Viscount's Lady by Louise Allen The Dangerous Lord Darrington by Sarah Mallory

I listened to audiobook versions, but I've had dead tree/Kindle versions of them kicking around for over a year!

Yes, indeed. Library books or borrowed audio versions are okay as..."


Useful to know, thanks. I was feeling a bit rough last week, so I downloaded some audios from the e-library so I could listen when I couldn't keep my eyes open to read an actual book! The ones I've listened to so far are of books I've already got and had prior to January this year.

84884 And another one crossed off the list -
The Lady's Companion by Carla Kelly .
I've made myself a Mt TBR shelf now and have been lobbing unread books on that I've had kicking around for ages. So at least I won't be wasting valuable reading time wondering what to read next...

84884 2 down, 34 to go! A slow start, I know, but I'll get there.

Just finished The Black Madonna (Civil War, #1) by Stella Riley , which was absolutely superb.

84884 As was, I suppose, predictable, my first read from my Mt TBR wasn't on my first ten list, but was instead Miss Jacobson's Journey (Rothschild Trilogy, #1) by Carola Dunn

Oh, well. But at least it's a start!

I am reliably informed that work on the ebook version has started :-)

I was given a dead-tree copy for Christmas - which I'm "saving up" to read when I can get a good long run at it without too many distractions in the way.

Thanks! Fortunately, the majority of the books on my TBR list are oldies!

84884 I'm starting with a modest goal. My Reading Challenge goal for 2012 was 100 books - I've just passed that, but I'm not sure how much reading time I'll have in 2013, as one of the things I have to do is get a new job!

I have no idea yet what I'm going to read. I'll have to start wading through my TBR list.
