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'.
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 posts how you
want and when you want just reduce the pile!

ReplyDeleteIt was a bonus getting a few deleted this week! It puts me ahead of the game a bit!
DeleteNot bad!! Making progress :-)

I'm making progress down towards 950 which is great! I won't make it below 900 before the year ends but I'll try getting as close to that as possible!
DeleteI seem to be slowly reducing my TBR. Especially this month. You really are working on yours this year.
ReplyDeleteI've really had to go some to do this but it is great to see numbers dropping! I do have a pile hiding on ereaders that I haven't added yet so I really should concentrate on getting them added before the year ends and starting a fresh total next year!
DeleteWere any of those 10 deleted because of looking at reviews on GR?

All ten I'm happy to say! They seemed to be either very slow, heavy on the relationship angst or had the kind of characters I hated!
DeleteI really need to tackle my TBR... It'll feel so freeing removing all the books that are no longer to my tastes and lift some of the guilt I have for forever ignoring them!
ReplyDelete11 down for the week is good going!
I was pretty pleased with that! I don't think there is anything else to delete but I now have a list of books with mixed reviews that need attention soon. I still want to read them but there are a few doubts about each one at the moment.
