This is an overwhelming number of books to read. I will come back to this post from time to time and I will strike out the books that I have read over time and we can see how this goes.  I know that saying that I should cut back on my book buying is not going to happen. However, in the past couple of years I have been more choosy when it comes to what I buy.

What is your TBR’s like?
