  1. So maybe my TBR is significantly smaller than yours but it looks like you get more reading done in a year than I do! You can totally tame your pile :)

    • I appreciate your faith in me, but in the last two years I’ve only managed to reduce the stack by ten books. I think I need to stop attending BCinDC meetups. :)

  2. I like how you have a “not finished” list. :-)
