We all have TBR piles… if you don’t, I’m not so sure I trust you.  (Just kidding, I think)

I have a very bad (or good, depending on your view) habit of buying books shortly after release (or get sucked into those 99¢ bargains) and then… just letting them sit on my Kindle waiting for me, while I get an ARC review up.  I’ve decided that this is the year I’m going to tackle whittling down that TBR Tower.  Actually, I’m going to shame myself into it, in a way.  I’m going to make a list of titles I’ve purchased, starting with the 2025 titles that are still unread (I’m sure I’ll be adding 2026 books soon), and slowly work my way through.

I’m such a mood reader, so making an “elaborate plan” won’t work for me.  Yet, I am determined; let’s see how far I can get this year.

Unread from 2025

(to clarify: these titles were purchased in the last quarter of 2025, since I’m a series binge-reader, there are often earlier titles on that TBR list that I’ve included if I have several titles within a series yet be read)
