I don’t like to think of my TBR as Out of Control but it is a little over enthusiastic and, sometimes when it comes to choosing my next book to read, a little overwhelming.

I also have an ever-growing collection of beautiful chonky books that I never seem to get brave enough to commit to, even though they often fly by faster than expected once I actually pick them up and give them a go.

So I have picked out nine of those lovely volumes from my shelf and nudged them to the top of my list – less than one a month, in case some do turn out to be slow-burners – but still enough to feel like I’ve made a dent in the pile.

I have even made a pretty spread in my journal to record my progress in, and look! I have even finished one in the first month of the year and everything!

Admittedly, I have not picked up a second one yet, because I got distracted by Hell Bent (Ninth House #2) which is also a chunky baby, but I will be going for one of the others soon.

Which one, I don’t know. Any suggestions, Blogsters?
