To Be Read (TBR) Pile Confessions


Most authors read voraciously and their bedside tables/bookcases/desks or basically every nook and cranny groans with the weight of books that they want and need to read. Here's the first TBR Pile Confession from Little Black Dress author Janet Gover.



There's always a lot of contemporary romance - which is what I write. Fellow RNA members and fellow LBD authors always appear - but they vanish again quickly as they are often the first books I reach for when I'm looking for a new read. I've also been dipping into historicals lately, just for a change, and loving it.

I have always read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy. Lately I've been adding young adult fantasy to my reading. Just because I'm not a kid anymore, I can still enjoy visiting their worlds.

The TBR shelf often includes books I've read before and liked so much that I want to go back for another look. And there are always a few authors who are so good that I read them again and again - hoping to learn from them; hoping some of their brilliance might rub off.


Janet's current Book - A FARMER NEEDS A WIFE


Helen Woodley, editor of Australia's top magazine, had no idea how successful her new column would be. Who knew that if the country's lovelorn farmers were profiled each week, readers would queue up to date them?
