    February TBR: Navigating the Massive 'To Be Read' World

    Nicole explores the evolving concept of the 'To Be Read' (TBR) list, highlighting its transformation from a manageable list of a few books to an expansive array of reading possibilities. Let's discuss the joy and pressure of navigating these vast TBRs, emphasizing that it's perfectly fine not to finish everything. The focus is on mood-driven reading and selecting books that 'feel right' in the moment, rather than adhering to strict plans.
