Booking Through Thursday: TBR...Where Are You?

This is a follow up to last week's question:

Do you keep all your unread books together, like books in a waiting room? Or are they scattered throughout your shelves, mingling like party-goers waiting for the host to come along?

My response:

For the most part, I keep my unread books on a couple of end tables in my living room. One of them was a gift my Dad made, specifically for my books. I keep books that I plan to read next on the top so that I can see what I have waiting. Beccause it would be impossible to keep ALL of my unread books on these tables, others are 'mingling' on the shelves with books I've already read. I started out keeping books by the same author together, but it's getting impossible to do that due to lack of space. It's becoming clear that I've got to get a new system! In fact, my dear friend came to take me to lunch yesterday and said, 'Wow Lis, you need more shelves!!'

Do you have a special place for your unread books?

Booking Through Thursday: Unread Challenge

Today we were presented with the Unread Book Challenge. We are to either list or take a photo of the unread books we have stacked on tables, floors or where ever. These are the books that we've always meant to read, but for one reason or another, haven't gotten around to it. They are also the books that make us feel guilty about bringing other books home!

I think this is a great idea for a BTT post. It's just the thing I need to make me realize I've got some great books laying around the house waiting to be read! Although, it's a bit ironic that I just brought home five books from the library this week! Oh well . . .

Here's my list of unread books (in no particular order):

• Matrimony by Josh Henkin
• The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown
• Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner
• All He Ever Wanted by Anita Shreve
• The Wednesday Sisters by Meg Waite Clayton
• Life of Pi by Yann Martel
• The Lace Reader by Brunonia Berry
• The Year of Fog by Michelle Richmond
• Whistling in the Dark by Leslie Kagen
• The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski
• Man of the House by Ad Hudler
• Down River by John Hart
• The Associate by John Grisham
• Run For Your Life by James Patterson
• Handle With Care by Jodi Picoult
• The Poisenwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
• The Memory Keepers Daughter by Kim Edwards
• The Rest of Her Life by Laura Moriarty
• The Moment Between by Nicole Baart
• Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

And those are just the ones that I can think of right now!! There are more, I'm sure tucked away in places gathering dust! I've got some really great books! What books do you have laying around?
