Crystal (crys25) | 237 comments Ok, so I'm just wondering if anyone currently has the same problem that I do-overgrown TBR. I can't stop myself from buying books, even though my TBR is seriously about to outgrow my bookshelves. It's an addiction-I need a support group.LOL


message 2: by Marissa (new)

Marissa (millionmph) I think I have the exact same problem. I have like 180 books in my TBR piles but I keep buying & buying and It's possible my family may need to give up a room just for my TBR and Keeper book storage.
Definitely need to find a support group.

Crystal (crys25) | 237 comments It's sad really. I actually have hiding spots around my house in just about every room for new books.

I try to keep my TBR under control, but it hasn't been working lol. I always hover around 250-270.

Ellen (ellenpenleysmith) My TBR is only at 55... and that's only because I'm doing more reading than finding. Lol.

Crystal (crys25) | 237 comments .....and I just got more books. My poor abused bookshelf.


message 10: by Lisa (new)

Lisa  (lisao_0) I have an addiction in buying more books than i can read. I buy two books read one and buy two more and so on so there always a huge pile to read.

Nairabell | 87 comments My TBR is huge - probably around 300 books at the mo so it's definitely taller than me :) I'm trying not to buy any more as there is no more room in the house to stash them!

Dawn (dawnv) | 4058 comments same problem my new thing is I can only buy a book if it is not available at the library or the library loan program. It does work so far I have stayed in my book budget :-)Yet I still have about 150 books on my TBR list

I have the same problem!


DarkHeart "Vehngeance" (darkheart) | 437 comments Sigh... I just checked by TBR shelf and it says that I've got 403 books either in physical book form, ebook or audio that I have yet to read. Don't tell my husband though, I like to lead him to believe that I've read the vast majority of them so he doesn't roll his eyes when a new package from bookdepository arrives. =D

Gemma (bookmoodreviews) | 101 comments My TBR pile is taller than me, but I'm only 5ft 2" tall so it wouldn't be hard. lol!


Nichole ~Bookaholic~ (nicholebookaholic) | 672 comments I have about 300 in my TBR pile....and it keeps growing.....
