So many books, so little time! It doesn’t help when the list of books we intend to read are out of control. That TBR list is supposed to help us keep track of books we definitely want to read, so that we don’t lose track. Once it has grown out of proportion though, that list no longer helps us stay on task. In order to combat this problem, I have put together a list that serves as a handy guide to managing TBR piles.

Book porn is a thing. While not as wide-spread as food porn, among the camera-wielding, photo-oggling bibliophiles, book porn is a rising trend (I made that up. I don’t have stats to back up this claim but I stand by it anyway.)

For some reason mail delivery times have been severely delayed over the past few months, which has also been affecting my book orders. Whenever I open my mailbox nowadays, the first question on my mind is, “Where’s my book mail?” I won’t peg that on impatience either. I’m totally down with waiting a week. Two weeks are bearable. Three weeks are not cool. Four weeks are excruciating.

Over the past couple of weeks I noticed something whenever I stepped into the bookstores of a particular local chain. It seems they have abandoned the segregation between YA/teen fiction and general/adult fiction. The shelves still do exist but a lot of YA fiction has been shelved under general fiction. Have the bookstore shelving systems collapsed? Take a look at the following book covers. These were shelved together in one of the shelf sections.

Last week I had a conversation with my dad and I told him that if I choose to live somewhere else in future, there is one thing I’ll miss here: the local public library system. The collection of books in the catalogue is so extensive that most of the English books I want to read are available for loan. The reference section too is nothing to sneeze at, housing books that would cost me over a hundred dollars, were I to buy them.
