Every Book on My Physical TBR

Hey hi hello friends, and Happy New Year! 

I have a resolution: I want to read every book on my physical TBR this year. Now, automatically there are a few problems with this. First off, what about when I buy more books? I'm not going on a book-buying ban this year, and even if I were to do so I'm sure I wouldn't last the whole year. So, I'm saying that I just want to read the books I own right now by the end of the year. At this moment in time, I have about 65 books on my physical TBR. I know that I could read them all this year, it's just a matter of if I actually feel like it. I'm a big mood reader so I have to try and combat that a little. Some of these books, I've owned for years and I still haven't gotten to them. It's embarrassing, honestly. 

I won't be implementing any sort of consequence if I don't complete this task, though. Like, I won't make myself get rid of the book if I don't read it this year. I find that ultimatums like that don't actually encourage me, and in fact make me procrastinate the thing even more. So this isn't some big challenge, I just want to see if I can get my TBR down from where it is right now. And I know that I have a relatively small TBR compared to some other people in the Booktube community (I know some people have over 300 books on their TBR!) but since I buy every single book with my own money, and I don't actually have that much money to begin with, having 65 books is a lot, especially since I only own about 270 books in total. 

One last thing before I give you the list: I'm not including manga in here, simply because I have sporadic volumes of series and it just seems silly to say "I have volume 4 of this series but I can't read it until I read the first three volumes, so it's just gonna sit there until I do so." So yeah, novels only. Also, if a book is in parenthesis, it's because it's part of a series and I've read that specific book, but I have the rest of the series on my TBR.

Okay, let's go!
