I know! I started sorting books and just decided I wanted to re-do the whole thing. It felt good, like when I clean out and organize my closet.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Marg!

It's a very popular book, apparently! I've been on the library's wait list for a while now. I might just end up buying it if I can't be patient :)

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

Great minds think alike! I hope we both love these books when we get to them.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Lark!

Exactly! I didn't keep track of how many books I deleted from it, but there were a lot of titles that just didn't interest me anymore. It was refreshing to get rid of them! Also, I think it will be much more efficient to have fewer books on my list, but to have those sorted by genre and to have my want-to-read-most list in one place. I'm really liking the re-organization.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Sam!

Honestly, I've heard nothing but good things about it. I'm waiting patiently to get my hands on a copy.

Thanks for stopping by, Donna!

I like thrillers, period, but YA ones seem to be a little less graphic, violent, and disturbing than those geared toward adults. I'm excited to read it.

Thanks for coming by, Jess!

I just Googled it and, apparently, Lowry is years old! It's awesome that she's still writing at that age.

I think the Top 100 list is going to work really well. If I keep to 100, then hopefully books won't get lost. That happened a lot in my 5000 book-long list.

Thanks for stopping by, Sarah!

A lot of MG books seem to be about parental loss in some way or another. I'm hoping ALL THE GREYS is a happy, fun book not a sad one. We'll see. I do like these kinds of novels, so I'll have to check out the Sedgwick one.

Thanks for coming by, Lissa!

That's what I came to realize about my 5000 book-long TBR. It really wasn't a very efficient way to organize the books I want to read. My new way seems much better. We'll see how it goes.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Katherine!

I agree! I haven't read a lot of books about deafness, especially historical ones. I'm really excited to read this and, bonus, it's waiting for me at the library. I just need to go pick it up!

Thanks for stopping by, Lydia!

I agree! It sounds like it has some unique elements. I'm hoping it's as good as it sounds.

Thanks for coming by, Deanna!

I've heard nothing but good things about A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE. I'm 5th on the list at the library for it, so it shouldn't be long now before I can read it!

Thanks for stopping by, Jessica!

Thanks, Carla! I'm looking forward to the Lowry book and SHOW ME A SIGN. I'm going to pick them up from the library this week, so I'm excited.

Thanks for coming by, Carla!

I'm glad you find some titles that look good to you. I hope we both enjoy them :)

Thanks for stopping by!

It sounds excellent, doesn't it? I'm going to pick it up at the library this week. Yay!

Thanks for stopping by!

I just finished a WWII novel and I'm reading another one right now, so I'll probably hold off a little on ON THE HORIZON. However, I'm planning to start SHOW ME A SIGN as soon as I get it from the library tomorrow. It sounds SO interesting. Can't wait!

Thanks for coming by, Marianne!

My pleasure.

You know, it seems like the minute I buy a book, it goes on the back burner. If I've got a book out from the library, I feel the pressure to get it read before its due date. Books I own, even ones I'm REALLY excited about, sometimes just sit and sit and sit on my shelves ... I hope we both love FRACTURED TIDE, whenever we get to it :)

Thanks for stopping by, Jennifer!

It does, although its plot sounds a little generic. I loved Murphy's debut because it was so unique. I'm hoping her newest has some originality to it as well.

Thanks for coming by, Michelle!

I haven't heard of any of these books. I'll have to check them out. I hope you love them and everything else you read this summer!

Thanks for stopping by, Crystal!

Oooh, it would make a very cute sticker set! I agree, the story sounds really good. Hopefully, the book lives up to the promise of its premise and cover.

Thanks for coming by, RS!

I'm glad you think so! If you end up reading any of these, let me know what you think.

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope so. It's such a disappointment when books you are really looking forward to turn out to be duds. I really think these will all be winners, though. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for coming by, Nicky!

Right? I hope I'm that productive at 83! I'm really excited to read the book.

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Ethan!

I love me a good MG novel and these sound excellent to me. I have especially high hopes for SHOW ME A SIGN. Hopefully, it will meet and even exceed them :)

Thanks for stopping by, Lectrice!

I just can't resist good MG fiction! A fast, but affecting read is just what I need right now.

Thanks for coming by, AJ!

Ha ha. I'm glad I enticed you to take a second look at some of these :) I hope we both enjoy them!

Thanks for coming by, Lin!

I rarely read all the books on my seasonal TBR lists, but I enjoy making the lists and thinking about what I *could* read.

I'm super intrigued by SHOW ME A SIGN as well. Unfortunately, it hasn't come in at my library yet. Hopefully, I'll be able to pick it up next week. Can't wait!

Thanks, as always, for coming by and commenting, Helen!

Yeah, while I was dismantling my TBR list I kept thinking, "Is this really worth the trouble?" I *think* it was because I'm enjoying my new system better. It took a looonnnnggg time to revamp it, though. Good luck tackling yours!

FRACTURED TIDE sounds so good, doesn't it? Did you really hate GOOD GIRL'S? I've heard nothing but good things about it. Hm, now I'm even more interested to see what I think of it ...

Thanks for stopping by, Sarah!

Doesn't it? I find cults super fascinating. Don't know why.

Thanks for coming by, An!

I love seeing how different readers organize their TBR lists. It's fascinating to me. I've been pretty stuck in my organizing ways on Goodreads, so it was good to change it up :)

Thanks for stopping by, Leslie!

They both sound excellent, don't they? I hope we both love them!

Thanks for coming by, Deb!

LOL. Right? But it actually felt very liberating! And I think my lists are much more realistic and efficient now.

Thanks for stopping by, Keri!
