I know it’s a bit early for resolutions, but I have one. Next year, I’m going to control this mess:
Seriously. There are books several years old on this shelf that NEED to be read. So I’m going to stop checking books out from the library (*sigh*) at least until I can get a bit of a handle on this shelf.
However, I do have a few books out from the library that I need to finish, so this month, I’m going to try and read:
Marina, by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Glory O’Brien’s History of the Future, by A. S. King
The Map to Everywhere, by Carrie Ryan and John Parke Davis
Absolutely Almost, by Lisa Graf
Hopefully, I can finish them in what’s left of 2014, and then I can start the new year fresh.
What’s on your TBR pile this month?
The Book Nut 
I make this resolution all the time, but working at the library makes it really really hard not to bring home the books.

Good luck! My own problem is that I find it soothing to request books from the library when I'm taking breaks at work….and then I am swamped with them all.

I feel you. I have 9 shelves of books I have not read. Some are years old too. Darn paperback swap

I know, Pam! I have a problem coming home from the library when I volunteer with no books. I'm horrible when it comes to the bookstore, as well. I just need to read faster!
Charlotte – I think that's wonderful. Seriously.

My public library will bring books RIGHT TO MY SCHOOL! That is really nice, but does add to the TBR.

I tried that this year and, unfortunately, didn't clear out as many books as I anticipated. So I'll be trying it again next year! Good luck!

I totally know what you mean, I have a stack from the library as well as some that I purchased to get to.

I know that feeling. My goodness I've got ARCs from possibly 2011. It is really painful. Good luck in your resolution!

Your TBR looks a lot like mine! But I'm too weak-willed to stop getting library books …

I am going to try to read some books people have been talking about all year BEFORE the end of the year. Ha! Station Eleven, Untamed State, and Big, Little Lies
