Welcome to my To Read Eventually Shelf, the place I leave non-fiction and thrillers to die!
No seriously! That’s the type of book this shelf is made up of, and I just leave them sitting there for ages, telling myself I’ll get to them eventually and yet never pick up a single one!
Like my last shelf, I’m going to be putting the ones I want to stay on my regular Want To Read shelf and moving some around according to genre so they’re easier for me to see when I’m in the mood for them.
I’ve also made a new shelf just for Recipe and DIY books because of this post!
This is my last shelf and I am so excited that I am nearly finished!!!!
Be warned, this Down The TBR Hole post is filled with more gifs than normal!
If you would like to buy any of the following books please consider using my Book Depository Affliate link!

I added this because…I really love trashy TV and one of my faves is Geordie Shore. It’s one of the few things that can just switch my brain off so I don’t have to think!

She’s moved several times since then so I’m probably never getting it back. Good thing it’s cheap!

August 2016 was a very busy adding month and most have survived again!
So how did I do?
I kept 5, got rid of 18 and moved 16!
That’s actually a lot better than I thought!
Do you read a lot of non-fiction?
Or do you just have them sitting on your shelf for years like me?
