Dusty Reads is a weekly meme hosted by Giselle at Xpresso Reads where we spotlight a book sitting in our TBR pile. My TBR breeds when I'm not looking, I swear. Ok, I add to it, I confess. I just can't resist. Between ebooks (darn those kindle freebies, lol) and print books, I have almost five hundred that I haven't yet read. Eeep. And yet, I keep buying and borrowing books. And occasionally, winning them. :) Happily, the quantity of incoming books has slowed down some and I've actually gotten some of those dusty books read. The Just For Fun Reading Challenge has been a big help too; I've given myself permission to focus a little less on reading for review and to read for fun (though a few did end being reviewed :D)

Ok, THIS is embarrassing. I bought this one shortly after it's release. Barnes & Noble was having a sale on selected romances, I had a coupon, and the member discount; I ended paying about 19 cents for it, including sales tax. And yet, I still haven't read it. That was 18 months ago! I seem to keep pushing it to the bottom of the TBR pile. If I recall correctly, I bought it because of all the good buzz it was getting on Twitter. I really need to get off my butt and read it now.
