I like the distinction
I like the distinction between TBR and TBB. I usually say TBR pile/box if I already have it and list if I need to buy it. This makes more sense.

For me TSTL is Too Stupid To Live
Always annoys me when a h has a TSTL moment and the H rescues her LOL.

ROFL, Penni .....
TSTL = too stupid to live! ...... I can go for that

Too Stupid To Live, works

TSTL
is too stupid to live
you know when you're glad s/he's
only a character in a book because otherwise you'd be doing time and
hoping the prison library was well-stocked
the equivalent of a blonde moment
Good Job!
Christa, Hi there & thanks for posting the acronyms, they will help all the new people. I can remember they were a bit confusing when I first started coming here a few years ago! It is always nice to feel comfortable & welcome when you are new.
My problem with all the newness is remembering how to find something when I come back! Yes, I'm using favorites, friends, etc. It just takes me awhile if I skip a day or so because I don't get anything done when I'm spending time here!!
The newness is keeping me here longer so in that respect I find it somewhat frustrating. I'm sure as they make some changes & I get more used to it all that will change.
See you later.
Take care, happy reading,

BDB Acronyms
What a good idea it is to post these acronyms Christa!
) dear sister in law.... But then it probably IS only a problem of one. *sigh*
A couple that are kinda in there, but not entirely are ddil and dsil (dear daughter / dear son in-law)... the latter of course can be confused with (or at least maybe I'm the only one that can get confused
Okay for JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood ~ BDB refers to the stories and / or the Brothers in general
Then there are the "names" for our group of fans with which we came up:
SOTB ~ Sisters of the Brotherhood
LATB ~ Lusting After the Brothers
SLATB ~ Sisters Lusting After the Brothers
The latter won out over the first two mainly because we DO LATB and are the S's.
And now I'll go...
KaLyKo ~ I'm a readaholic and Proud of it!!
Your tag line...
Christa, does that mean that sometimes you're "Noisily reading"? LOL
My family would say, if anyone asked them, that I often DO *noisily read*

I remember last year there were a lot of questions for meaning especially H,h, HEA. Plus it took me six months to figure out TSTL and I still didn't get it right
I can so relate about getting behind when skipping a day. I'm still trying to find a grove so I come in a check for new posts on my entries, then favourite and then see what my buddies are reading, then time permitting I check "recent posts" and "Book challenge"

getting a groove...
and I thought I had one till today when I went to my own blog and there is no longer a "new" indicator to tell me there are new posts!
In the groove
Same here it was there this morning, then I went for a manicure, pedicure, facial(payment for catsitting
) and it was gone now I can't even see which posts have any comments unless I open them
Very time consuming

Good day!
OOOOO sounds like you had a REALLY good day! I know they were here before I went to work (which doesn't sound NEARLY as good as your day) and now they are gone.
