Sunday Salon: Out of Control

For me, anyway.

This is the current state of my physical TBR pile:

I don't usually let it pile up this high (It's taller than my lamp!) except when I'm a round 1 judge for the Cybils. I'm a round 2 judge this year... maybe I'm experiencing a bit of withdrawal, and feel a need to have a huge TBR pile surrounding me this time of year?

All this makes me curious: how high is your TBR pile?

9 observations:

My TBR list, if you can believe it, is now down to 1 book. That's virtual and physical together. 1 book.

Well, that's a large TBR pile, but if you were to count every book I own that I have not yet read as my TBR pile, then... well, mine's quite large, as well. It's fun, though! Enjoy :-))

I too have many books around me that I have not read yet. But the last year or so I haven't really been able to find the time to read or blog and I continue to be sorry about it, because one of the greatest things I knew was to hang out here in the book blogging community. I am looking forward to find the time again.

Happy Sunday to you

Haha, mine is definitely too big too! I can't keep up with all the books that I'm constantly adding to it. I just can't read that fast.

Don't feel bad ... I have entire bookcases devoted to TBR books ... at the rate that I buy books, it never feels like I'm even making a dent in it!

I cannot keep my tbr pile in a single pile because it would be an OSEA violation. But hope on, hope ever, someday I'll look around and wonder what to read next....

I enjoy having a TBR pile. I am too moody to not have variety, personally. And, if a book goes back to the library unread... It is not devastating!

My TBR list is always unrealistically high :) Don't feel bad- we all suffer "high TBR pile" syndrome!

If only there was just one pile... I have multiple stacks, in rough order of priority (which means that some stacks might as well be classified as "to be donated" vs. "to be read" since I will probably never get to them. But I continue to try!
