In 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! Re-reads have already been taken off the TBR when I first read them so don't count in reducing the pile but is just here as a note to help for end of year stats! The re-read total is the running total so far for the year, not what I've read each week.
BOOKS IN
-Books in refers to 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. Both of these categories together are my 'in' total.
BOOKS OUT
-Books read and DNFed are obvious.
-Deleted from
the TBR are books I lost interest in reading, or sequels to DNFed books
I no longer want to read and have been removed without starting to read
them. These three categories added together are my books 'out'.
Sarah over at https://allthebookblognamesaretaken.blogspot.com/ is also trying to reduce her book pile and we hope to keep each other motivated! I'm posting my progress on the 7th, 14th, 21st and final day of the month and noting what is coming in and out of my house. Anyone else is welcome to join in. No rules, set up your your posts how you want and when you want just reduce the pile!

Well you are tackling that tbr pile. Good luck reading more.
ReplyDeleteI'm not making a lot of progress at the moment but I can't fit in much more reading!
DeleteWow! Go you. I did this last year and it's no small task. good luck!

Ugh I'll need it! I want to be down to three figures by the end of the year so I really need some DNFs!
DeleteYou're slaying that TBR pile!
ReplyDeleteProgress is a bit slower than I hoped!
DeleteI should keep track like this. I think it would jump start my slump.
ReplyDeleteProgress is slow but at least it is going down!
DeleteStill got a few more out. Great! Plus all those reviews!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could wipe off a big chunk but I do want to read them all!
