I saw this over at League of Reluctant Adults and thought what a great way to procrastinate! I think I’ll do one too!: a summary of my TBR list. I’ve gotten mine down to around 40 books, so this isn’t an entirely impossible meme to play around with.

The 10th is actually the official Start Date for my booklist, but I figure that 1. I’ll forget on the actual date, and 2.
