I have a confession ....
My TBR pile isn't as small as I always say it is. Until this post I have been hiding a secret problem which I would like to share with you all in the hope of solving my problem.
My problem looks like this
Anyone who knows me knows books don't stay on my TBR pile for long. Those that hang around too long tend to be rehomed and I am very good at giving up books. This bookcase however is almost full of titles that I can't seem to get rid of or get round to reading and it's bugging me.
At least half of them are signed. Most of them are books I bought myself because I wanted to read them. There are several on there which are later books in a series that I was desperate to continue with when I finished book one but I just can't remember book one enough to care now. There's also that whole bottom shelf of adult titles I bought impulsively when I was having one of my "I want to read books for grown ups weeks". Those fads never last long. Many of them I have started got a few chapters in and never got round to finishing and some of them have been there for years. There are books I've heard nothing but rave reviews for but for some reason I can never bring myself to pick something off that shelf to read.
This needs to stop. If nothing else I want the shelf space back in my rapidly expanding library. My new goal in my reading life is to clear it by the end of the summer holidays.
Here's where you come in.
Firstly can you inspire me? Which one should I read next? Which ones did you love?
Secondly are there any stinkers on there I just need to get rid of to avoid wasting my time?
Thirdly if anyone can point me toward spoiler filled reviews of first books in the series of those titles on my shelves which are book two or more I would be eternally grateful
