Let's be honest, we've all been there. You're browsing the shelves at your local bookstore, minding your own business, when suddenly... you see it. A book with a captivating cover, a blurb that promises an unforgettable journey, and a whisper from the universe that says, "You NEED this book."
And just like that, another book finds its way into your overflowing shopping bag.
Sound familiar?
I'm a self-proclaimed book hoarder. My TBR pile is a monstrosity – a towering testament to my indecisiveness and my insatiable desire for new stories. It's a chaotic mix of physical books, e-books, and audiobooks, all clamoring for my attention.
The guilt is real. I see those unread books staring at me from every corner of my apartment, judging my lack of commitment. I know I should be reading them, devouring them, losing myself in their pages. But instead, I find myself distracted by shiny new releases, lured in by enticing promises of literary magic.
The irony, of course, is that I rarely have time to read. Between work, social commitments, and the ever-present lure of social media, finding dedicated reading time is a constant struggle.
So, what's the solution? Do I ruthlessly cull my TBR pile, donating or selling the books I'll never get around to reading? Do I declare a temporary reading ban on myself?
Honestly, I don't know. But I do know that I'm not alone in this struggle. So, fellow book hoarders, I salute you. May we all find the strength to conquer our TBR piles (or at least make a dent in them) while still indulging in our love for the written word.
