TBR

* What is TBR? *

The TBR is the pile of books that are still To Be Read on a reader’s shelf. In my case though, it is more pileS than pile, and shelVES than shelf! It his highly probable that one day, while sitting and blogging, I will be crushed by the tumbling piles; until that happens, I am doing my best to read more and buy less. So far, this has been a complete failure.

My general rule is : I read in English books originally written in Shakespeare’s language. I read in French books originally written in Molière’s language or translated from other languages. Then there is the non-fiction category, which includes books in both languages.

Books are ordered by author, and those followed by a (dnf) are books that I started reading, haven’t finished and intend to return to. The books followed by (e) are e-books, and (r) means books I plan on re-reading.
