TBR Terror: A Hilarious Attempt to Conquer My Reading List

 Or, How I'm Trying to Avoid the Wrath of My Bookshelf

Okay, let's be honest. My TBR pile is a monstrous entity that looms over me, judging my every move. It's a constant reminder of my literary ambitions and failures. But fear not, dear reader, for I've embarked on a valiant quest to conquer this beast!

Currently, I'm knee-deep in Look Closer by David Ellis. It's a captivating blend of mystery and suspense that has me hooked. I'm practically living in the pages, and I'm convinced my neighbors think I'm having a very intense conversation with a book.

But let's not kid ourselves. I'm also using this book as a shield against the other menacing titles on my TBR. It's like a tiny fortress, protecting me from the judgmental glares of unread novels.

I've tried various tactics to tackle my TBR:

• The "One Book at a Time" Approach: This sounds reasonable, right? Wrong. It quickly devolves into a chaotic juggling act of multiple books, each vying for my attention.
• The "Read-a-Thon Extravaganza": A noble attempt, but it usually ends in a bookish burnout and a mountain of unread pages.
• The "I'll Read It Later" Procrastination Technique: A classic move, but it's a dangerous game. Later never comes, and the TBR pile grows ever larger.

I'm starting to think I need to hire a personal book organizer. Or maybe a TBR therapist. Someone who can help me navigate this literary labyrinth without losing my sanity.

In the meantime, I'll keep plugging away, one page at a time. And if you see me frantically flipping through pages, muttering to myself, please don't judge. I'm just trying to survive the TBR terror.
