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.

Do you keep a physical or digital to be read list? How long or short is it? Why do you keep one? Do you have any recommendations?
Thanks for reading this post and happy reading to you! 😉
So many good books here! The only one I’ve read is Fangirl and it is fab! I have so many books to read myself but I never find time with uni! I also keep a huge notebook with lists of films I want to watch! Love being able to tick them list off! X

Same! I love checking off things on all my lists. I’m excited to get to reading them all. I’ve heard very good things about Fangirl.
