Karen's Book Nook

This week’s Weekly Geek assignment is to post photos. Inspired by this badge, I’m posting my ever growing TBR pile(s). These are just the books that I have in my possession right now, not the audio books that I’ve downloaded that are in the queue, the books on order at the library, magazines yet to be read, or the books that I just want to read but don’t physically have. Never enough hours, never enough!

In the first picture, my books are separated out (L-R) non-fiction (mine), fiction (mine), fiction (borrowed from friends), and library books. These are all the books that I haven’t read yet. I always have a few current books going as well (home fiction and non-fiction, bag, car, work) The second picture is just a random pile. Judging by the looks of it, I’d best get reading! Finally, my favorite spot at home to read (and where I am right now.

Check out some fellow Weekly Geekers… Here’s Terri’s solution to a tempting TBR pile! Allesandra posts some nice photos of beautiful bookshelves, and Katherine has a huge alphabetically arranged bookshelf! The more I look, the more I know that I need to find some bookshelf space in my life. (These piles are just my TBR… I’ve got tons of books that I’ve already read which are piled under my bed and where ever I can find space, not to mention the fact that I’m a prolific library user!)

And Now.. I’m unplugging so I can open a book!

I actually read quite a bit this month, thanks to NOT having to spend every waking hour on the assessment for work and also because I listened to some audio books (instead of just podcasts) while getting things done around the house.

This post is also is part of the Weekly Geek assignment, Catching Up, for Week 6. Since I don’t post reviews on my site, rather just give a few anecdotal notes with each entry in my Now Reading Library, I’m wrapping up my reading list for the month here and catching up. This is what I read in May: (Best part is… school’s almost out so there will be even more time for reading coming up!!)
