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!

Better late than never! The second book I read this week was a re-read which doesn't count to my total but is added to the re-read count instead.

Hey that's progress!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty happy with how things are going right now!
DeleteProgress! Imagine when you get below the 900 mark. You're getting closer!

I still have a chance of hitting 900 before the end of the year which would be exciting when 1000 was my original target! I read a really dreadful book last night so that and two sequels have already gone from these numbers!
Deleteyou're making better progress than i am. :-)

Stick with it Sherry and you'll get there! I'm cheering you on!
DeleteFingers crossed for you hitting 900 by the end of the year. That would be a lovely reward for all your work here :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try so hard to get there! I'm really pleased with progress this year!
DeleteI know I keep saying this, but, great job! I continue to be impressed by your stick-to-itiveness on this project. Love seeing those numbers drop.
ReplyDeleteThat is nice that your goal was 1K by year's end, so even if you end up going up in numbers, you'll still be ahead of your goal.

I've very much appreciated all your support! What you said is true-I did reach my yearly total so the odd week where numbers go up is not a disaster!
