Clear Your TBR... discussion

I'm taking a plunge here and hopping that I'm doing this right. *bits lip nervously* Right now I have 97 books (a few aren't out yet though) on my to-read list. Yes, you heard me- 97. I am a really fast reader, but my biggest problem is that as soon as I read a book I seem to put another on my to-read list.

I want to get my TBR down quite a bit, but I don't have a particular number in mind. I have all sorts of books to-read, from classics to little-know indie authors. So, that's me ;)

Huh? I just read a bunch of books the past few days, but somehow my to-read list has still grown by one book. *groans* Why am I reading all the books I want to read that aren't on my GR to-read shelf?!

Read off my to-read list:

1. Shadow of the Storm byConnilyn Cossette
2. Anne of Green Gables, My Daughter, and Me: What My Favorite Book Taught Me about Grace, Belonging, and the Orphan in Us All by Lorilee Craker

So, I'm down to 96 on my list!

3. The Shattered Vigil by Patrick W. Carr

Down to 94! I'm currently reading another book right now as well ;)

Way to go!!

Thanks! I'm enjoying the books and forcing myself not to add any more books onto my to-read shelf.

How are you doing in your to-read pile?

4. Finished Mountains of Spices by Hannah Hurnard Bty, this is an excellent devotional/allegorical book that I would recommend to any Christian.

5. Finished Flummoxed by Kristin N. Spencer I'm at 93 books on my to-read list. (I keep adding more books without meaning to as soon as I finish one. One step forward, two steps back. )

Down to 91!

6. Finished London In The Dark by Victoria Lynn
7. Finished Hope Rising: Stories from the Ranch of Rescued Dreams by Kim Meeder
8. Finished Diamond by Paul Willis

(Also finished is Bound which was on my currently reading list.)

9. Finished A Question of Honor by Jesseca Wheaton

Down to 90!

Back up to 91, *frowns at self*

Still at 91. I put another book on my to-read list and read one off my list.

10. Finished Exiles by R.J. Larson

Yes, but most of the books I read aren't the ones that are on my to-read list!

I'm back up to 92 on my to-read list :(

This is just books I shelved as to-read because they interested me. I own a handful of them, but most of them if I end up reading them, will be copies I interloaned through my local library.

Back down to 91!

11. Finished The Dark Hills Divide by Patrick Carman

I'm too broke to own that many actually copies. When I do buy books, I try to have it be books I really, really want to read and know I'll like.

Down to 90!

12. Finished Deliver by Tricia Mingerink

You're doing awesome at this!!

Thanks, Elise! But...I'm back to 91 because I added another book to my to-read list. *sigh*

It happens. I have around 120 right now, although around 60 aren't released yet. actually, counting arcs I have, around 90 aren't released :/

if I were you I'd try to bingeread all the short ones just to make it feel more managable

Yes, quite a few on my list aren't out yet either.

I actually read a lot, but most of the books I read aren't the ones from my to-read list.

Same!! I've kind of given up on it in favor of new releases at this point, all the stuff that's still on my tbr is hard to find at bookstores
