I seem to have a problem that many book-nerds have, my TBR pile is HUGE!

And because it’s 2016, I have decided…this time next year, I will not own any books that I have not read.

Can I actually do it?

But I need your help

Obviously, my pile is huge, so I need some suggestions of where to begin.

And before anyone yells at me for breaking my book-buying-ban, I would like to point out that I only bought one of these books (Sacrifice), which is on my list. The other three were bought by a friend of mine because I recently helped her move, and will help her with her physics test (she pays me in books, it’s awesome).
