This is a very vulnerable post! I buy a LOT of books, most of them secondhand, because as I am sure you have figured out, I read a lot!
Because of that, I have a lot of unread books on my bookshelf. I decided to give you a tour of all of the books on my physical TBR, to maybe make myself stop buying books. That probably won’t be the case, but I can dream!
For the sake of this list, I have left out the books I am currently reading but have not finished yet. Also, if a book has a (*) next to it, it would be a reread from childhood
