Around this time last year I wrote a post discussing what our collective bookshelves say about us. I came to realize like many bookworms, I love to read and also collect things to read . . . in the future. Unfortunately at this point I feel like I’ll never catch up on my TBR pile. My piles of books come from a variety of places, some are gifted to me, some I discover at my favorite thrift stores and used bookstores, others I dig up at library book sales. Now that I also work part-time at an independent bookstore, I have access to an overwhelming number of advanced reader copies, both in physical form and through audiobook. My TBR pile is growing by the day. I thought it would be fun to inventory what I currently have on my shelves (and anywhere else I can stash them). This does not include cookbooks or books that I either did not finish or have not yet completed.
Fiction:
Cut and Run by Mary Burton
Days You Were Mine Clare Leslie Hall
Ellen Poe: The Forgotten Lore by Diana Peterfreund
Haven’t Killed in Years by Amy K. Green
Home Before Dark by Riley Sager
In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

The Guncle Abroad by Steven Rowley
The Hours by Michael Cunningham
The List of Suspicious Things by Jennie Godfrey
The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner
The Measure by Nikki Erlick
The Names by Florence Knapp
The Only One Left by Riley Sager
Nonfiction

Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson
Notes on a Silencing by Lacy Crawford
Scandals, Tragedies, and Triumphs: More of America’s Greatest Newspaper Columns Edited by John Avlon, Jesse Angelo and Errol Louis
From looking at this list it’s obvious I tend to gravitate toward fiction rather than nonfiction, but I’d like to change that. I do tend to listen to a lot more nonfiction in audiobook form though, especially memoirs.
Where do the majority of books in your TBR pile come from? Are there any you’re excited to read soon?
