Challenge Yourself...Isalys

**List will be updated regularly**

In the spirit of challenging ourselves to read more, I have decided to jump aboard the "Challenge Yourself" bandwagon.

I have far too many books sitting on my shelf at home just waiting to be read. The reason for that is that while I read a lot for the blog (blog tours/reviews, etc) and read many of my own books, I continue buying books at a greater rate than I can read them.

Thus, my Billy Bookshelf is overflowing with my TBR books!

Below is a list of the books that are actually on my shelf waiting for me and I fully intend to make a dent in this list by year's end:
