It's always so much fun. I've never read Victoria Holt, but it looks like 2014 will finally be the year. As far as The Goldfinch goes, early reviews look very promising. I'm relieved because The Secret is one my favorites, too. Villette may be my next book for The Classics Club. Can't wait to read The Emperor's Children… The Woman Upstairs was a favorite this year. It's going to be an interesting three months for sure!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-35584458806840595392013-12-15T11:25:23.584-05:002013-12-15T11:25:23.584-05:00Thanks for helping us plug the TBR Triple Dog Dare...Thanks for helping us plug the TBR Triple Dog Dare this year. <br /><br />I have also been on something of a buying binge.

I may stray once or thrice with a new 2014 title, but that's it. <br />Victoria Holt!! I've never read The India Fan, though I've consumed nearly everything else the author wrote under this name.<br /><br />I *think* I'll be reading The Goldfinch next year, though I have trepidations. I was so enthralled by The Secret History that I'm actually afraid to read The Goldfinch. Don't know when I've experienced that before with an author or a book.<br />I'll look forward to following you as you embark on your TDD adventure.<br />JudithJudithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-26852970725877463632013-12-13T17:10:41.101-05:002013-12-13T17:10:41.101-05:00Jane - I totally understand!Jane - I totally understand!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7080965436653289398.post-88827773361372897222013-12-13T17:07:06.486-05:002013-12-13T17:07:06.486-05:00Good luck!

My problem is that I also binge buy right before year end. It is so much fun though :)<br /><br />Just FYI, TFIOS is so totally awesome.
