TBR Books



You may say that I'm a Book Hoarder, But I'm not the only one...

Here I will keep you posted on the few, lots of, way too many books that I've accumulated and not read at this point. And I'm going to try to keep them somewhat organized too. Maybe this will be what finally curtails my book-buying-habit. We'll see how that goes...

For the record: 
One: books were sorted into category by yours truly and, yes, many of them fit many categories. I did the best I could. Don't judge.
Two: any book on this list could be my next TBR, but any book not on this list (be it yet to be owned or borrowed from assorted places) could also be my next. You can offer some suggestions and tell me which ones need to be next or as close to next as possible!
