In late 2018 and 2019 I'm making a big effort to reduce my TBR by buying less, getting stuff read and getting rid of the things that I just don't want to read from my bookshelves and my ereaders Maurice and Myrnin! I'll be doing this regular post to show my progress-what came into the house what I read and DNFed and what was taken off the TBR.
The TBR total shown is the total number of books I own but have not read yet-wishlist books are NOT in my TBR! Books in are bought, downloaded or gifted this week. Books added are books I bought a while back but haven't yet added to my Goodreads TBR so they aren't newly bought, just newly added. Books read and DNFed are obvious. Deleted from the TBR are books I no longer want to read and have been removed.
This is my post for this week. I looked at three apocalypse series that had mixed reviews. I read two of them and DNFed the third. That gave me a pile of unwanted sequels which I added to my deleted from TBR total. I also discovered that a zombie seriesI downloaded from Amazon was defective and had no content on the ebooks so I deleted them. Then I DNFed two more books. These are my stats for the week! I'm tired so I hope my Maths is ok!
DECEMBER 1st-7th
TBR Total: 1227
Books In: 3
Books Added: 2
Books Read: 2
Books DNF: 3
Deleted From TBR: 23
Total: 1204
I am afraid to log all the books I own. I know it's a lot. Reading two series is great. Sorry the third one didn't work for you, but at least you got some books off the TBR. 23 down is huge!
ReplyDeleteI was pleased to reduce the pile by 28 this week which is a huge bonus! I'm hoping to DNF a few individual books in the next week or complete them for my challenges!
DeleteGreat job with deleting! I want to change how I acquire books, so I’m also trying to reduce my TBR by a lot. I tend to buy a ton of books at once, and I don’t want to do that anymore. I don’t like when books sit unread on my shelf for forever.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I definitely plan to spend less on books next year and try to deal in samples and free books more. Not liking a few book ones let me dump quite a few sequels this week! They'll all go to the charity shop next week.
DeleteGood job! Doing a weekly post will definitely help you and show you all the progress you make as the year goes on :-) Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI figured there was no point putting it off until next year so off we go! This was a good start and I dumped a good few off the apocalypse shelves this week!
