My Book Shopping List

Hello there!

You know how we book worms/dragons talk a lot about how fearsome our TBRs are? They can stretch on for miles and miles. These books are the mountains that clutter our living spaces, they are the shadow we live in but desperately try to ignore as we reread old favorites, borrow fresh ones from the library, or buy a new one.

Yes, they are truly something.

But what if there was another list of books? A greater, stronger, list. One impossible to ever complete.
Brace yourselves, for I bring to you... the To Buy and Read list, or TBaR (not as catchy, I know).

This list is one you will always live with, for as long as books are being made. Yes, it will be refreshed. Maybe it will be shorter at some times then others, but once is is begun it will always be there.

Because I'm seeing all these Summer Reading Lists and TBRs, I decided to share (part of) my TBaR with you.
Here you go!
