![New TBR Format | Topical TBRs [CC]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Iy5dv37EOxE/hqdefault.jpg "New TBR Format | Topical TBRs [CC]
This is just a short update on what to expect from this channel. I am changing up how I do my TBRs from this point forward. I will be putting together some ongoing TBRs by topic that I will update and talk about as time goes on. I will still do some monthly TBRs outside of these lists, but they will be smaller to give me room to wander. I will still do monthly wrap-ups of everything I read - but the books on my topic-based TBRs will get their own wrap-ups that are more in-depth. This will be a growing and changing project. Im trying to find a format that works well for me
As an enneagram 9 with a 1 wing I crave structure, but fail to follow it, so Im trying to find some sort of structure that makes sense that I can follow, while giving me enough room for my default level of whimsy.
