Why did I feel at 11:17 p.m. last night that I desperately needed to buy a copy of Iamblichus's "On the Mysteries of the Egyptians, Chaldeans, and Assyrians" and had to understand theurgy? I have a problem, people. Too many books.

Taking stock of my TBR pile, both physical and digital, I realize that if I live to be 100, I still won't finish reading all of them!

#tbr #toomanybooks #bookcollector

God, they're everywhere.

You know what would help? If you bought some! You can buy titles directly from me on my website 👍

Four Ulysses (one a 3-volume edition in Czech), but only two paper editions of Finnegans Wake at the moment. Four or five editions of Dubliners (one Czech, one Dutch).

#TooManyBooks #Nah

📚 Me: “I’ll just add one more book to my TBR…”

Also me: builds a small skyscraper out of novels 🤷‍♂️😂

At this point I don’t know if I’m a reader or a structural engineer.

Tell me I’m not alone — how tall is YOUR TBR pile right now?

#TBRpile #BookskyHumor #TooManyBooks #ReadersLife #Booksky

Found a whole shelf of books I didn’t even know I owned. TBR? More like TBD (to be discovered).
#TBRpile #BookHumor #BookishLife #ReadersOfX #BookNerd #BookshelfFind #TooManyBooks

two copies of "sisters of sword and shadow" next to two copies of "the hurricane wars"

THREE copies of "the stars too fondly"

a stack of six books: life is strange, legends and lattes, afterlove, this spells disaster, mortal follies, school of good and evil; held one-handed in front of a mostly full bookcase

someone earlier was asking about "too many books?" and, well

@SheButch is trying to put their collection in order and here are the duplicates we've discovered ... _so far_

(for a hitherto-unsorted collection of "about three Billy", that's arguably not terrible) […]

Sounds like a good one! #TooManyBooks #DamnDayJob

‘More are published than could ever succeed’: are there too many books? While some say the rise of the self-publishing model is damaging the industry, others feel it gives authors a fairer deal

🚨 So many books, so little space. 📚💙

The Guardian asks: Is the flood of titles, especially via self-pub, drowning visibility and quality?

As a #writer and #author Are you feeling claustrophobic in a crowded book market?

#BookMarket #IndieAuthors #TooManyBooks

❓️ How many books on the go is too many?
❗️ I've currently got 4: a photography book, my book club read, a thriller, and a cookbook for a cookalong (if that counts as one).

When the library tells you no more renewals allowed…a perfect way to spend a rainy day. #goodreads #birdingwithbenefits #toomanybooks

I love to read. I want to build a library room, with floor to ceiling bookshelves. Cause I am getting more books, and I'm running out of boxes or table space to hold them all 🤣

Readwise just recommended this. I haven’t read Lincoln in the Bardo but I think I might have to now.

A fugly man sits with books and gives the thumbs up. He has a demons shirt

Quick question book lovers: Do you secretly not secure your giant full bookshelves to the walls in hopes they collapse on you one day, ending this nightmare? #booksky #horrorbooks #library #toomanybooks #tbrchallenge #askingforafriend

When all your library holds start coming in at the same time 😅

My currently reading pile! Please tell me I’m not the only one that has multiple books on the go at once? I like to dip in and out, depending on my mood 🤣
What are you reading at the moment?

Turns out the secret to tackling your TBR is just… actually reading

The struggle is real when you have too many amazing books waiting to be read.

#TooManyBooks

Sorting books with my very helpful assistant. #derpydog #toomanybooks

Although the roughly 65 books that live on my desk chair may have something to say about that. #reading #toomanybooks

More boxes unpacked. A fourth copy of The Great Gatsby has been discovered.

#TooManyBooks

In 2010, I discovered I had way too many copies of The Con Man by Ed McBain.

I now have close to fifty. I don't even like the book.

What is wrong with me?

#TooManyBooks #throwbackthursday #tbt

Bookshelf filled to the brim with books.

It's official I need another shelf. I'm back to stacking books haha #toomanybooks

The Vegetarian and Proust and the Squid. And a really fascinating book called Spiro (Norwegian, afaik not translated yet). But then again, I might need the month finishing the reading I've started: It Can't Happen Here, Butter and some No/German non-fiction books. #toomanybooks

And two more I started that will probably be DNFed due to the #toomanybooks problem. Still glad I spent some time on them.

I had to make a decision after Paul died and I moved to a tiny house. I donated what I had read and only kept what I felt I would read again. It was hard for me since I had to go through them all four times! #toomanybooks

Gonna start listening to the Horus Heresy series again. Because why not? 🤔🤓📖🎧
