Chance, our Kinship Partner (14 years old) has come to stay with us for awhile. Having him at my house during BBAW is a blast! He is having as much fun with these posts as I am. So when I told him I was going to take all of my TRB off the book shelf and stack them on the floor as tall as I could without them falling, he agreed to take the picture. What a trooper.
So here it is. Some are reviews, some are for tours, many are my personal purchases that I have yet to get to. Either way you look at it – I have plenty to read and it just makes me delighted!
Oh… and yes, my hair is a bit twanky…. must have been from the excitement of stacking all the books up!

Now that’s what I call a pile!!
Ha ha… yeah…. I guess it is.
Great picture!
Thanks Kathy – I am just having so much fin with BBAW! 🙂
That’s a great pile. I plan on doing this also but I’m afraid of how big it will be lol.
I was hoping I could get it all in one stack and go taller than me but I couldn’t stack that high without it tipping.
I love that snapshot!
Thanks it was fun to do
Holy Penguins, Batwoman, You gotta lotta readin’ to do! I’m actually scared to do this!
Holy Penguins? LOL
Oh, this makes me feel so much better! I haven’t tried taking my TBRs off the shelf and stacking them up, but there’s no room for another book on the shelf! I’ve been feeling so far behind…but it looks like I’m not alone.

I have so any that I have purchased at book sales this year that will probably be in that pile for a while…
I have to say that I am very happy to report that mine is not that high! lol.
I love the color of your walls! 🙂
LOL! Thanks Trisha!
Thank goodness I’m not the only one with a outrageous amount of books on my TBR pile.
You can always count on me Ryan 🙂
Wow, that’s A LOT of books. How will you find the time to read ALL of those!?
I read all the time, almost every night. The ones that are from my personal purchases are any time reads… the ones that I have accepted as reviews and tours I work on to have done in a somewhat timely manner.
Great piles!
My full collection of books I own and want to read some day is way too scattered to get a photo of :-(. I do have my “hope to read soon” shelf up on my blog :-)..
I have my “hope to’s” as well and I touched some of them tonight as I was setting up the picture…
How many books is that? How do you select which one to read next?
For the ones I have accepted from a publisher or author I keep an agenda on and try to do those in order of receiving as much as I can. Many of the books are from my personal choices (two incredible library sales I went to this year and came out with probably about 60 books – many are in this picture)
That’s astounding! Although I have many books around the house that are part of my TBR pile, part of that list is somewhat virtual, waiting for me at the library or bookstore when the time comes!
I like the thought of a virtual tbr pile… I guess I have a few of those on my wish list or in my head…
It’s a leaning tower of books!
It really was a leaning tower of books…. I had a couple “near mishaps!”
Yes, no matter how much we may complain about all those TBR books, they really are a delight. Why else would we compile so many of them, right?
Exactly! They are my passion., my hobby, my collection, my pastime…..
You’re right…a visual image tells us so much more! Not too long ago, I posted about inventorying my TBR stacks, and I photographed some of the stacks…But yours, standing next to you…well, it says it all, doesn’t it?
There you are Laurel! 🙂
This is why I love visiting with you. I always feel so good! 🙂 LOLOL! I love it!
LOL J Kaye – my mission is done! 🙂
That’s such a great picture – makes me want to go and do it too but I don’t have the energy!
Your TBR pile is out of control LADY. You should come to my house-we recently recarpeted the upstairs and I put all the books in the spare bathroom bath tub. I refuse to pull them out without reading them. I banned myself from buying /checking out any new books for awhile.
LOL… the bath tub? Hmmmm…. yeah the buying season is over for me as well. I hit a lot of sales spring through fall… life off the TBR for the winter. 🙂
That’s exactly what my TBR piles look like!
Ha ha! I love it!!!
Man oh man that is a serious stack. I know how you feel. BTW, your hair did make me giggle.
I am with you though nothing (well you know what I mean) makes me happier than looking at my books. It is such a passion for me too!
Okay, now I don’t feel as swamped as I thought I was. lol. Great stack of books!
Love to see we are all in the same boat. Well, at least we have good company!
Ooh, I like your collection and that’s not a bad pile at all. 😀
I’m impressed! … with the size of the book piles, you’re ability to keep them upright, and Chance’s quick snap and steady hand with the photography!
That is a great picture and what a big pile of books!
LOL…. it was a bit over whelming for me when I seen them stacked up like that!
Oh, my Stars!!! Thanks for making me feel better 🙂 I love seeing books stacked up tho. How fun!
Hi Kim – thanks, it was fun!
Do you think if stacked them all in a single pile, they would be as tall as you are? 🙂
I wish I had help trucking books for this meme! Do you rent Chance out? 😉
I was hoping to be able to stack them taller than me – I think they would have been but I couldnt get them that tall! 🙂
Wow, great stacking skills. And great picture – perfect for BBAW! Happy reading.
Love the hair! Fun photo.
great shot of the TBR pile. It would be taller than you if you stood them all together.
lol that’s tall.. yes we do NOT HAVE an addiction *tongue in cheek*
