This is the first year I've had a more or less rigid TBR, for two main reasons: 1, to tackle my "read 20 more than I buy" challenge here (going very well so far, 10 bought 64 read), and 2, to force me to get stuck into the non-English books I've been intermittently starting and stopping over the last couple of years. After more than a decade of buying books for my Kindles and then my Kobos, it has not been hard to build a TBR from Calibre full of books that fit the "I've been meaning to get around to this" category.

As for "do I ever stray", at the start of the year, my StoryGraph TBR was around 60 books. Today, thanks to TheLibrary Extension and those 10 bought books, it stands at 87, after having read 64 books. My self-discipline is more gallium than iron, it tends to melt when subjected to the warmth of my Kobo
