I find that is a side effet of challenges, adding books. But at least, I keep thinking that while my to read list increase exponentially, my physical TBR pile goes down.

Sandra (sanlema) | 11261 comments That's how I'm comforting myself too, Esther!

jaxnsmom | 8341 comments Great title! But I'm wondering how you'll explain away the evidence :)

Good point... But... you know... sometimes books just "fall" from the TBR shelf, probably trying to catch the attention of a potential reader. Those falls most of the time are fatal, and then there's not other thing to do but bury them in your READ shelf... You know... accidents happen...

Janice (jamasc) | 59894 comments Sometimes the dog eats them, or the baby uses them as teething rings, or it gets dropped in the toilet. There may be many ways of hiding the evidence.
