TBR Pile Knockout is a weekly meme hosted by Ana of Beach Bum Reads and Anna of Herding Cats & Burning Soup. This meme was created to tackle our HUGE and STILL GROWING TBR piles. We'll be posting EVERY Monday for the rest of the year. Our goal is to make a rather nice dent in our TBR piles. So, aside from our other lovely reads, we will be making sure ONE book out of our TBR pile will be read :)
Want to join in? Check out the rules:
1. Go to your TBR pile and randomly pick one book off your list!
- We'll be using random.org to pick our reads.
- Type in the number of books in your TBR pile where it says "MAX"
- Then click generate and it will give you your randomly selected book!
- NOTE: If the book chosen via random.org is part of a series, you can go ahead and read the first book in said series.
2. Come back here each week (or however often you'd like to join in) and link up your "TBR Pile Knockout" post in the linky below!
Don't know what to write in your post? You can Add the cover for your book, the book summary and details (author, publisher, etc.), you can leave a line or two on how long that book was sitting in your TBR Pile, or just tell us what you think about starting this one! You can always add in a review for your last pick too!
Don't have a blog? You can still join in! Just link in your Goodreads reviews or add link the Amazon/B&N page for the book and leave your thoughts in a comment on this page :)

Well, daaamn! My first TBR Knockout pick definitely caught my attention. It's flipping scorching hot! And wastes absolutely no time getting there. It turns out to be a prequel to the first full length book in the series and is how the main couple first meet at a masked ball. Chemistry? There. Sex? Panty melting. A bit of intrigue? Oh yeah. These two are somehow connected before that "first meet" at the ball but Zoe's keeping her identity hidden from him. It's not a complete story and leaves off with a huge cliffhanger that, if you're anything like me, will have you scrambling back to Amazon to order Twice Tempted, their full length story, as quick as possible. Valentine definitely knew what she was doing with this prequel and gives you the perfect taste of Christian and Zoe that'll leave you captivated and panting for more.

Miracles still happen in modern day New York when "Scrooge" (Nathaniel Danvers) meets Heaven Can Wait (Daphne), who has been sent to give him one last chance at redemption. Angel Be Good captures the essence of the classic Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol and offers a touch of humor and romance. This sexy romantic comedy is the perfect holiday feel-good read.
Okay, I'll admit after seeing reviews for Angel Be Good I'm a little nervous. I picked this one up as a freebie last July I think when I was doing a Christmas in July thing. I'm gonna give it a go. Hopefully it'll surprise me :)
