Last year, one of my New Year’s resolutions was to finally get through my TBR pile. I failed miserably. So this year I had to face the Great Wall O’ Books and be honest with myself. Which books was I really — no really — not ever going to read? You see, many of my TBR pile books were given to me by friends and family. I always consider every book given to me because you never know where your next favorite will come from, but many books I had been holding onto were not in my favorite genres. More importantly, they were getting in the way of the books I really — yes really — wanted to read. They were toxic to my TBR pile.
