My physical TBR (aka send help)

I have a bit of a problem: I love books. I mean obviously. But the problem is also that the rest of my family loves books too, so we have a ton of books. And we have similar tastes, so there’s a ton of books I want to read that aren’t even mine. So I recently I went through our shelves and took just the ones I want to read immediately. There are so many more that I want to read eventually (my mom has most of Margaret Attwood’s books, and we have some classics I want to read) but it was already overwhelming.

So these are mainly the books I got for Christmas or received recently.

That’s 23 books! I’m thinking some will be fairly easy to get through. I have about 150 pages left in American Gods, and I’m about 10% of the way through 1Q84 (but the book is 1157 pages long so that’s not really saying much), and I’ve read the first bit of the Measure of My Powers (which is probably done by the time this post is going up. Update: at the time of posting this, I’ve read The Measure of My Powers AND Salt to the Sea!). So we’ll see how much reading I get done this summer!

Also there were some lovely aesthetics happening, so please enjoy these pictures of my colour-coded books.

Which of these should I read first? Let me know!
