So far this year I have read 11 books.

As of now, my TBR list is sitting at 268 books.  I really need to start working on lowering this.  I've bought/received quite a bit this month... therefore I am going to try to stop myself from buying an more books until my birthday... in August... that is going to be a struggle.  However, it may help lower by TBR list.

I have also set up a Facebook page for My Expanding Bookshelf.  It would be great if you could give it a Like (and maybe even Share it).  I will be using it to announce up-coming book reviews, give updates on what I'm reading and sharing book news.

I am now the proud owner of a brand new, shiny tablet and have downloaded the Kindle app for Android onto it.  Now I can read far more eBooks than I could before.  I will now accept books for review in eBook format.

Follow me via Goodreads, Facebook, Bloglovin and Pinterest (though I’m not very good at using it) and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com.
