RuinEleint This is my To-Read List

It's 236 books long at the moment, and extremely messy. It has books from different genres, first books of series, later books in series I have started but not finished etc. It has kept on growing despite my best efforts to reduce it. I even own quite a few of these books and they are just sitting there.

Therefore in the year 2018, my aim is to read a minimum of 50 books from the TBR.
