You never really reach the end of your TBR pile, do you? Just when I think I have a handle on it and don’t need a spreadsheet, Boom, more books. Oh well if I have to keep getting something I guess books are the way to go!
I have read four books in two days all in the same genre so I’m grabbing this cozy mystery to slow things down a bit.
Β Β I personally have never read this author before so I’m excited to see what happens. This is the fifth in the series. Let me know if you’ve read this author!
Early morning eye appointment went well. My doctor made it safely home from Korea. More and more I am realizing this is a journey. It’s been a year since the corneal transplant and I still have a couple of surgeries to go so myΒ goal is to be patient. Never has that word been used in the same sentence with my name. This may be the longest relationship I’ve ever had with a man!
It is still bone chillingly cold so it’s a hot cup of tea, a book and a bath!

No, the TBR pile never goes down. A fact of life. π Happy Reading.

I concur. I will die with a pile of unread books covering me. They take the other half of my queen sized bed. ;( Oh well, they don’t give me any grief. Hated to finish my last one. The Corner Bookshop by Jenny Colgan. Such a lovely story.

Same! I recently started reading several books at once, again. This works for me, because I’m usually reading different genres and I like being able to go back and forth. Happy reading!

I relate so much to this! I use GoodReads to keep track of all the books I want to read next and I started to get overwhelmed so now I go there, decide out of a few that are TBR and get them at once so I always have something to read next! Soon I’ll need a bigger book shelf!

I would love to be able and sit and read that many books within so many days. It’s a good idea to set some time away just for reading. At the minute I’m reading when I can. I like your blog and I’m even going to give it a follow.

My family’s not very wealthy and our home is quite literally a shoe box. I have ZERO capacity for storing my reading material. The anxiety is REAL. People have suggested eBooks – but I don’t think I could go down that route… Ahh well, I guess I’m in the poop! π

I never thought I would go down that route, until I did. Since I was homebound and blind in one eye I had to stay in and couldn’t get to the library or bookstore so the Kindle saved me.

I feel the same way. I am taking a different approach because I didn’t like how some books never left my TBR list. They had to have sparked my interest to make it on the list. SO this year I am determined to read at least 2 books a month from the beginning of my TBR list instead of the end. π Happy to know I am not alone in this problem. Its not really a problem though…LOL
