Hi Bookworms! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday season (if you celebrate). I took an unplanned break after completing 23 days of #Blogmas so that I could focus spending time with my family, and honestly it was a fantastic choice. It allowed me to rest and re-charge, and get me excited about blogging again.
This month I’ve got a whole bunch of stuff planned – best/worst lists, yearly stats, TBRs, recommendations, etc. so I hope you’ll check them out. But, to start the year I thought I would get real about my physical TBR. I don’t have a set number that I like to keep under, but I do want them all to fit on my TBR shelf. Haha. And, I’d ideally like to read all the un-read comics. I don’t want to buy any new volumes until I’ve read most of them.
So going into 2020, I’ve got 123 unread books, anthologies, comics, graphic novels, and manga on my shelves.
Also, a shameless plug: I’ve you’re looking for a way to track your TBR, might I suggest the spreadsheet I made? π **You can get your own copy here**

Do you keep track of your physical TBR? Do you have a ton of unread books or just a few? Any TBR related goals for 2020?
Happy Reading β₯
I don’t want to count my unread books – especially ebooks – as I think it’ll stress me out π I’m going to try and make a dent in it this year though and really get reading. I hope you enjoy catching up on all of the books that you’ve mentioned. There are a few that I’m hoping to read soon too (:

Thank you! Me too. π

Your reading nook looks so cozy β€ I also organized my TBR bookshelf during the holidays, and I currently have approx. 80 unread books, which is way less than I expected tbh. Lol

Thank you! Itβs my favorite place in my house. π
80 isnβt too bad at all! Haha. I really do like having a large selection to choose from, but I also want it to be reasonable so that I donβt feel guilty buying new books. π€£
