Mine is HUGE! I'm planning on cleaning out my room, vacuuming and then putting everything back in in a more orderly fashion in the next few days. I'll take a picture of my reading pile. I could also probably copy/paste my Review List (the list of books I have and want/need to review), but that'd be a bit much, lol.

Umm...no books for review, but probably like sixty-five books that I have not yet read, plus like a hundred or so to reread...
My not-yet-read pile is probably taller than I am.

I have a bookshelf full of books that I haven't read... and I still check out books from the library too. So yea... it's a never-ending cycle.

I think I have 12 review books right now and another 10 checked out from the library. It's not bad, but the fact that I'm not reading very quickly right now makes that seem like a very long list.

I have probably 30-40 books I need to review, as well as 10-15 that I need bought myself, plus the ones at the library I want to get my hands on!

how do you guys decide which review book your going to read next?? i try to do a combo of when i got the book and when it comes out, but sometimes, i just really want to read one, so i do!
if i have an author guest post coming up, i also try to read at least one of their books before their visit too.

I recently divided the books when I cleaned out my room to ones I've read and ones I haven't read, which are a mixture of review books and just books I bought or were given as a gift to me. I'll take a picture of both piles (well, really they're in rows) tomorrow and post them, lol.
Anyway, usually I just do it by release date. If I don't have anything that's being released around a certain time, I'll pick a book that I haven't had a chance to read yet that's already been released.
For interviews or even guest blogs, I sometimes haven't even read anything by the author when I send them interview questions or guest blog instructions because I have to send those out several weeks in advance of the actual posting. When I post my reviews, I've literally finished the book that day or maybe the day before. I hardly ever finish a book or review way before the post date. I wish I did though.

Where are the pictures?!?!
Me....Well, I TRY to do it by the release date but since I'm behind, that's not really working. I review for TeensReadToo so I try to get those books done first, since I'm supposed to have them done within a month. That doesn't always happen. I also try to do it based on any promotional things I'm doing with the author. Like, if they're AOM, then I'm definitely going to move their book to the top or if they're interested in doing a giveaway or something, I'll read that book first.
Other than that, I just read what I'm in the mood for.
