Basically, I have a huge TBR and often end up reading new books that are not even on my list, instead of trying to whittle down the list that continues to balloon on Goodreads. I am going to make a real effort to get those books read instead of always grabbing new ones and thus never making a dent in the physical and digital stacks I already have. It will also gives me a chance to take a good look at my list and see if there are ones I'm no longer interested in. I will be posting on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and the last day of the month.

So last week I went on that request-binge of Mary Downing Hahn books at my library and this week it paid off because I finished all of the books and managed to move in the right direction again.
Happy Reading!

my word... i wouldn't call that a tbr list, i'd look at it as your own personal library... and i thought i had a lot of books @ 2500...
ReplyDeleteI don't actually own all of them, so you have me beat in that department. I do, however, own quite a few of them. But we are in an apartment and space is limited, so unless there are special circumstances (like the book being authored by Dan Jones) I sell the books to Half Price Books...to buy more!
DeleteNet reduction of 7 is nothing to complain about.
ReplyDelete13 books read in a week?! Holy crap! I'd be shouting about that! Well done.
As long as the number keeps dropping, I will be happy! I have a confession though...those 13 were middle grade books, so nothing suuuuuuper challenging. I went on a Mary Downing Hahn binge and read all her books I could get my hands on that I had not yet read.
Deletewe have about the same number of books, but i don't have all my kindle or physical books on there. any reduction, in my eyes, is a good thing. my problem is, i keep adding to it, but i can't say no. my biggest goal is getting all my physical books read. audio...that's a different story. i am still trying to get the hang of it but my mind wanders too much

I am not so much a fan of audio myself, my mind wanders sometimes too. I really had to make an effort to go through one day (many days, actually) of getting all my Kindle and physical books added to Goodreads. I am trying to get the physical books read first, so I can sell as many as possible and get new ones, of course.
DeleteLet's see. It looks like I read completely from my TBR this week. 3 books read. All were good!
ReplyDeleteLucky you, not only were they all from your TBR, but they were not disappointing. Double win!
