What books do you want to read?
Easy. All of them! My TBR—to-be-read— pile is quite tall. My husband and I have a weekly routine of going to Barnes & Noble every weekend, usually on Sunday evening after we’ve gone out to dinner. We’ve been doing that for years. I have books I still haven’t read from more than 10 years ago. There was a pause during grad school when I would see a book and not buy it because I knew I didn’t have time. As the end of grad school got closer and I knew I was quitting my job, I started buying them again. And they’re all different! Some are romance, some are Stephen King (it’s own genre!), some are thriller/mystery…a whole variety. I’ve gotten into the habit of alternating fiction with non-fiction. Lots of autobiographies in the stack.
I’m currently about halfway through The Stand, and will probably then read the book I just bought last night. It’s called Glow in the F*cking Dark by Tara Schuster and is about healing from the trauma of your past so you can move forward and have a fabulous future.
I read pretty fast, but even I am questioning how long it will realistically take me to read all the books on my shelf that need reading. I don’t like audio books, to be fair I’ve never tried them, but I’ve always thought it’s cheating. I much prefer to sit down and actually have a book in my hand. That fact alone may slow down my process for getting these books read. But that’s o.k. I’ve got all the time in the world! (When I’m not at work, let’s just be honest).
