I’m a list person. I like writing lists. I like having lists. Lists keep me on track. However, my ‘To Be Read’ list is one of the few lists that I have that keeps growing instead of shrinking. Every time I hear of a book that even sounds remotely interesting, I will add it to my TBR list. I keep a physical TBR list contained in my planner. I also have an actual pile of books that have yet to be read that I have purchased.

Here’s a little look at my physical TBR pile.
