The horrors of an ever-growing TBR

 I feel like all avid readers can relate when I say my To Be Read (TBR) list is never-ending. It feels as though every time I pop into The Works for 'just a browse', I leave £20 poorer because 'the books in The Works are such a good deal!'; and they are, but I buy books faster than I'm able to read them. Hence, I'm making it my new summer goal to get through as much of my physical TBR as possible, and then sell them on my Vinted page!

I thought that I could also make it into a fun little blog series where I write a review on each book I finish, and then I could also direct people to my Vinted if they're interested in reading said book. For anyone searching for a book to buy in about 3 months, here's my whole physical TBR (in no particular order...):

Sorry to any Wuthering Heights and Little Women superfans, but the last two were gifts and therefore won't be posted on my Vinted! I know many people are weeping at the thought, but I believe you can make it through these tough times.

On a more serious note, I'm hoping that posting this list to my Blogger will motivate me to actually work through all of these books over this summer before university (though the Christmassy ones may have to wait for November/December to be read), as I'm hoping to have a bit more cash, and a bit more room on my shelf for when I start uni! I'm also considering joining my university's book club when I join, as they seem to just work through one book a month - though I'd only join once my TBR is basically empty and I find that I have enough free time to commit, as I currently want to join about 20 different clubs/societies...

I hope that anyone who reads this found it interesting enough to maybe keep an eye out for when I finish any of these books, and for anyone looking to spend a bit of money, I already have a couple of items on my Vinted (*cough* Dazed28 *cough*) if they're interested!
