For those of you who don’t know, my little sister will soon be moving to the Chicagoland area. She will be living with my husband and I for at least the first month or so that she is here, until she finds a job and an apartment (hey, if you are in PR/Advertising in Chicago and want to give her a job, let me know!). I told her that she’s not allowed to bring more than 5 or so books, because my book shelves already can’t hold what I have. She has agreed that she’s just bringing a few Chuck Palahniuk because I don’t read his stuff and she likes him. This isn’t a huge deal for her, because she isn’t the world’s biggest reader. She’s been reading more and more lately, though, and is excited to have her very own lending library at my house. Here’s a discussion we just had on google chat:
Jillian: Immortal sounds good
Jen: It was
you can read it
Jillian: Put that in my TBRWIGTC pile
In case you didn’t catch that, it is the “To Be Read When I Get to Chicago” pile.

This will be a lot of fun, Jen! The eldest of my younger sisters came to live with my husband and I on two occasions for a few weeks each and I still cherish those memories. Incidentally, that same sister lives in Chicago with her husband and two daughters now. I hope that Jillian enjoys Immortal and joins the book club, too!
how fun! I think I’ll need more abbreviations now …
TBRATB – tbr at the beach
TBRASAP – tbr asap (duh!)
TBRONSD – tbr on a sick day
and maybe for scarier books …
TBRWTLO – tbr with the lights on!
What fun! Your sister being in the same place as you, and the acronym play.
ha,ha.. That’s good.
Good luck to your sister! I’m sure she will find something great out there! I’m in graphic design and a teacher of mine was from Chicago he always told us to go there, I didn’t but I know several people that are out there. Great place to be for it!
Cute acronym.
