My Physical TBR as of July 1, 2021

Good Morning,

One of my goals this year was to get my physical TBR down to 100 books. I am really happy to say that as of July 1, 2021 I have lowered my physical TBR to 91 books. I have decided that I want to try to keep a “smaller” physical TBR. There was many factors that has helped me come to this conclusion. Just to name a few 1) a smaller TBR will mean less anxiety for me when it comes to the books on my shelves; 2) I can continue finished series without pushing reading sequels out sometimes for years; and 3) I can read books that I buy without guilt from the older books on my TBR.

What books are on your TBR? Should I push any of these books to the top of mine?
