In the course of January spring cleaning I decided to clean my books and…well…turns out my TBR (to be read) pile is waaaaaaaaaaay bigger than I thought it was. Mostly because it was contained in several small TBR piles around the room.
I’m really bad for seeing pretty books in store, getting all excited, buying them with the intention of reading them IMMEDIATELY…and then getting sidetracked by something else. I can’t be the only one that does this right? Right?
I’m ashamed to say I’ve had some of these books for, uh, a couple of years. Whoops! So there’s a definite mix of old and new in the pile (some of them you might recognise from my new year post).
My plan for 2016 is to get through all these books – I’ll undoubtedly add books to the pile as the year goes on, but the books I’ll list below will be the books I aim to read. We’ll see how far I get! At the end of the year I’ll do an update post to see how I did and each one I read and review will be tagged with #TBR2016.
On to the list!

How about you? Do you also have a large TBR pile or are you super good at reading books as soon as you get them? Any thoughts on which one I should start with?

YES TO ALL OF THESE. Illuminae was one of my favorite books of 2015, so I hope you end up enjoying it as much as I did. And the Lunar Chronicles series is absolutely incredible – so creative and well-written. Angelfall and Throne of Glass are great too. Thanks for sharing this! ♥

Omg I’ve just finished Illuminae and I have ALL THE FEELINGS!!! It was so good!!! There are not enough exclamation marks in the world to express how much I loved it!
Thanks for the comment 😀

DID I JUST HEAR MENTION OF BLOOD RED ROAD?!?! *hyperventilates quietly* Okay that book is AMAZING and one of my favourite reads of ever last year. :’) And I love the Michael Grant series too!! The middle books are a bit slow. But ultimately they’re awesome (and creepy). Omg, just so many gorgeous books on that stack. I hope you have fun with these! (Btw, I’m totally guilty of collecting books and then forgetting to read them. But better too many books than not enough, right?!?)
Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!

I’m really looking forward to reading all of them – I just can’t believe I left it so long (especially with the Michael Grant series…I’ve had those since 2014…whoops!) I think you’re right now, definitely better to have too many! Thanks for the comment, Cait!
