The ever-expanding potential TBR pile

started 2024  |  etc

I had finally decided to go through all those book videos I'd bookmarked on TikTok and make an ever-updating list of them - and any other book I see suggested online. Some are books I know of and haven't read, and some are new to me. This is going to be an easier place to find them than dozens of saved video bookmarks. Why am I putting it here? Because if I put it on my hard drive, it'll disappear into the abyss.
