That definite...I hadn't even considered ebooks! That definitely brings in some different pros and cons, and I can definitely see why an ebook TBR wouldn't seem quite as intimidating. And indecision is a really good pro for a small TBR that I didn't think of. If I had a giant TBR, I'd probably spend way too much time just staring at it and trying to decide what to read.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-12183373281975872392016-06-14T22:32:30.325-07:002016-06-14T22:32:30.325-07:00"You probably won't die if the pile falls..."You probably won't die if the pile falls on you." Hahaha I love it. Definitely a plus lol.<br /><br />I don't really know how to answer this though? Because I have mostly ebooks. And the amount of ebooks on my kindle is atrocious, but I didn't pay for most of them, so I don't feel a whole lot of pressure to read them. But, you know, as long as I had electricity, I'd definitely never run out of stuff to read lol. But I suppose I could consider review copies (also ebooks) my immediate TBR? I seem to be holding steady at about 10-15 of those on any given day. And it's actually been helpful for me having less options because of my terrible indecision. I'd love to have more physical books though just for those pretty bookshelves you mentioned!Kit @ Metaphors and Moonlighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113986982046115579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-23195839218031590882016-06-14T21:36:37.242-07:002016-06-14T21:36:37.242-07:00I can't remember the last time I actually got ...I can't remember the last time I actually got through my TBR - I consider it a success when I keep my TBR the same size for a while! But I definitely understand the appeal of only buying books after you've finished others. I've just somehow never been able to do that.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-29087573608335173232016-06-14T21:35:01.651-07:002016-06-14T21:35:01.651-07:00My feelings EXACTLY. There's a couple of books...My feelings EXACTLY. There's a couple of books on my TBR that have been there for years, and my TBR isn't even that big. And you're right again with the library - if I didn't go to the library so often, I'd probably have read those books a while ago.Clarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08014163537005483710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-23882136616777766842016-06-10T16:53:47.415-07:002016-06-10T16:53:47.415-07:00Haha, I love this post.

I think the only reason I'm not comfortable with a big TBR is knowing that I've spent money on a book and three years later it's still gathering dust on my shelf. D: That's why I'm on a strict book-buying ban this year, though having easy access to the library then kind of negates the TBR-crushing point of the ban xDCillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08909017383144456321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-959057724654014625.post-23238236218675085732016-06-10T02:07:37.468-07:002016-06-10T02:07:37.468-07:00I've never really thought about trying to keep...I've never really thought about trying to keep my TBR at a specific size. I think I just like getting through it because that means that I can get more books. Mine's pretty decent-sized at the moment, probably 20 like yours. But huge TBRs are definitely impressive looking :)Victoria Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15036742461356732142noreply@blogger.com
