... Read moreIf you're a fellow book lover, you know how thrilling it is to acquire new books for your physical TBR (To Be Read) pile. The excitement of curating a collection and the anticipation of diving into new stories can be overwhelming. As we enthusiastically add to our reading lists, the challenge of managing these books arises. Whether it's finding the perfect space for your book collection or deciding which books to prioritize, we all face the dilemma of balancing our reading aspirations with our ever-growing piles. In this article, let’s discuss practical strategies to tackle our physical TBRs efficiently. Start by categorizing your books, perhaps by genre or shelf life, making it easier to pick your next read. Additionally, consider setting reading goals to help you gradually decrease your stack. Engage with online communities and share your TBR list to keep motivated and inspired. Explore hashtags like #embracevulnerability and #lemon8challenge to connect with others who share similar reading habits and aspirations. Together, we can navigate the joy and chaos of our TBR mountains with a sense of community and enthusiasm!

I’m not going to say this is my March TBR because I like to take my time reading aka I’m a slow reader. The housemaid: I’ve been putting this book to side some many times, but I really want to read this book. Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t this supposed to be show or movie? If there is one

I have a shopping addiction. Most of my books on my TBR haven’t been downloaded or bought yet so these are my main ones.

A dark gray bookshelf in a bedroom, filled with books on three shelves, with a framed motivational quote above it. The image has a text overlay that reads "PHYSICAL TBR 2025".
Two large, tall stacks of unread books on a carpeted floor, labeled with the text "*BEFORE*". Many book titles and authors are visible on the spines.

I added this bookshelf to my bedroom so I can see what I have yet to read. I’m hoping with these in my face daily (rather than my bookshelf upstairs in the office) it’ll keep me from buying new books until I clear some of these off the shelves 😅 Here’s to hoping I can knock a bunch off my physic

A room filled with bookshelves overflowing with books, some stacked horizontally and others vertically, with a patterned rug on the floor. Text overlays read: "I have no idea how many unread vs read books I own. I've never kept track and don't ever plan to. I also have 786 books in boxes in my attic."
My Physical TBR - an unknown number
I have never cared to keep count and track the number of unread books I own and need to read. I also don’t see the point of doing that. The books in my home library are TO BE READ over the course of my life. So I don’t pay attention to the number of unread books I own. It’s an irrelevant number to
