Lately, trying to keep up with my TBR (To Be Read) pile feels a lot like this: Can you relate? The truth is, I get through my Kindle TBR pile (a collection on my Kindle titled Next) much more quickly than I do my physical TBR pile, simply because I can read my Kindle at night or out and about or when the light isn’t great for my old eyes.
