It has been a long time since I’ve done this, almost five years in fact. I last shared all the physical books on my TBR in January 2016, the time before that was April 2014 – so really this is long overdue. Please don’t go and compare my TBR now to my TBR in 2016 or 2014 as I’m sure there’s going to be books here that were on my previous TBR’s and that’s just embarrassing.

This time I’m going to share the physical and digital books, whether that’s on audio or my kindle, I have in my possession. I have to say earlier this year I did go through my bookshelves and unhauled over twenty books so this TBR could’ve been worse! Though I’ve also had my birthday since then and was gifted more books, so it probably evens out.

Before I start I just wanted to flag I’ve currently got a giveaway of boxes of bookish stuff happening on my Twitter, it closes on 22 November so check it out if you’re interested in that sort of thing.

This list is split into four sections; audiobooks, books I have with me in my flat, kindle books, and books that are at my mum’s place. I do not have room for all my books, so my mum is kind enough for me to keep the majority with her. Every now and then I take the books I’ve read but want to keep to hers and then pick up more books I’ve yet to read to bring back with me.

Any books with an asterisk * symbol are books for my Read the World Project.

Audio:
I do get audiobooks from my library, either via RBdigital or BorrowBox, but these three are via Audible as I do sometimes get a subscription/extra tokens if there’s a good deal on and then stock up there.
– The Old Drift by Namwali Serpell* – I’m currently reading this
– Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch
– The Republic of Thieves by Scott Lynch

In my flat:
Fun fact, I have no bookshelves in my room (it’s a flat share) so I have all my books stacked in my wardrobe and then a little TBR organiser from Miss Bohemia. These are the books I’m most likely to read and review next.

Kindle:
Now, besides the Read the World Project books, my kindle books really aren’t a priority for me. It’s my physical TBR I’d like to get down to a manageable level one day. Still, I thought I’d share what I had unread on my kindle in case anyone was interested.

At my mum’s place:
Generally speaking, these are the books I’d like to get to one day. This is where a lot of my unread classics live, or books in the latter half of a series where I’ll probably need to reread the previous books as it’s been so long since I’ve read them but I do still want to finish/continue the series.

Torres, Sal Velluto, Jorge Lucas, – Ryan Bodenheim, Jon Bogdanove, John Buscema and Paolo Rivera (I actually bought this volume years ago like an idiot not realising it was the third one. I’ve since read the first volume but still need to get my hands on a copy of the second volume before I can actually read this)

In total I have 82 books on my TBR: 3 on audio, 10 on kindle, and 69 physical books. I’m currently reading two of those, one physical and one audio, so really it’s 80 books I’ve yet to pick up. Though that could be considered a lie as I think there’s at least a handful of books here I’ve attempted to read and then put down because I couldn’t get into them for whatever reason – I do plan to go back to them though!

Now you all know I like a chart so here’s a couple. The first is a breakdown of the authors gender on my TBR – as you can see it’s pretty much an even split.

And the second is the genres on my TBR, they are quite broad genres to be honest as I haven’t edited my spreadsheets recently.

So 80ish books on my TBR. How many books are on your TBR? Do you do unhauls every now and then or is your collection just continuously growing? Do you keep track of your unread books? I have a couple of spreadsheets and Google docs which are helpful – one of which I got from Brock Roberts at Let’s Read on YouTube.

And, if you’ve got this far, please do let me know if there’s any books on my TBR you’ve read and enjoyed – it just might make me get to it quicker!
