So how did my February fare? Let's take a look back at the year's starting line first -
The physical TBR pile -
And my digital copy list from NetGalley -
2. Alison's Wonderland by Alison Tyler
3. Tyger, Tyger by Kersten Hamilton
4. The Secret of Ka by Christopher Pike
5. Annexed by Sharon Dogar
6. Demon Hunts by CE Murphy
7. Eight for Eternity by Mary Reed and Eric Mayer
8. Lovely by Kris Starr
9. Captive Spirit by Liz Fichera
10. Ghost Shadow by Heather Graham
11. The World Above the Sky by Kent Stetson

13. Roman Games by Bruce MacBain
14. F**k it by John C. Parkin
8. Lovely by Kris Starr
9. Captive Spirit by Liz Fichera
10. Ghost Shadow by Heather Graham
11. The World Above the Sky by Kent Stetson
12. Tricker's Girl by Hilari Bell
13. Roman Games by Bruce MacBain
14. F**k it by John C. Parkin
15. Views from the Loft by The Loft Literary Center
16. My Soul to Keep by Rachel Vincent
17. The Hypnotist by MJ Rose
18. Spy Glass by Maria V. Snyder
19. Past Midnight by Mara Purnhagen
20. The Iron King by Julie Kagawa
21. Carrie Pilby by Caren Lissner
Despite that seventh growth off to the side, if I squint just right, it looks like my piles might have gotten a little smaller. That's thanks in large part to some crafty reorganizing. I had a few books in my ARC pile that weren't actually ARCs. Plus I weeded out the series books in the rest of my TBR pile that I hadn't read the first book to. Doesn't make much sense to read a further book in a series without reading the first. Those books are off to the left out of frame. That pile it about the size of the seventh one on the right.

How much did I take off the top in February? The tangible pile -

Up two on the digital side but there's a smidge off my actual reading pile. That's something if not anything. Must. Work. Harder.

Oh lord! And I thought I had a lot! xD Then again I haven't been with the current YA blogosphere like I was last year due to school so luckily my pile isn't going up like mad anymore.
Progress has been made, it looks like... I need to get moving on mine!
Oh, wow! I think I'm gonna need that many books for summer vacation since I'll be staying at my house. Alone. With nothing to do and few books for company.

Wow and I thought my TBR pile was big. Are you using an ereader? I had to decline reviewing a book I got from netgalley as reading on the computer here at work was a bitch. I don't want to kill my eyes and I was looking forward to it but I just had to say no. From now on I plan on making sure all netgalley requests are for relatively short books.
Jessica, yeah I use one. I used to read them on my laptop which was nominally cumbersome but still doable. At least I was able to sit on my bed and read. When I killed that dead, I didn't actually need to replace it because I had a desktop. So it was either sit in front of a desktop and read or get myself an eReader. The latter was much less painful and worth it, in my opinion. I've only read galleys on it but I like it. I use a Sony eReader Touch. The only downside to it is there's a glare on the screen so reading can get a little annoying. Other than that, no complaints.
I find this very encouraging. I think I'll reorganize some of my books so that the TBR is less scattered. Maybe visually seeing them (the physical books at least) migrate off the TBR shelf will help me along.
I feel inspired by your TVR list. I cannot find enough time to read some books. Seeing your TBR list, I feel now motivated.
Um, wow. Yeah, you've totally blown my book piles out of the water. I think looking at that every day might drive me crazy...
Anyhow, dig the graphics. Really charming blog set up.
Good Job at chomping down some rather fine books.
Between you and I, I think the TBR pile never shrinks... it has permanat miracle grow on it. Because mine is ever growing. It does tower over me.
