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.

YAHOO! Target number two met today! Now my next aim is 900 so lets see how close I get to that by the end of the year! Hopefully my reading will pick up a bit and I'll get there.

This was a REALLY successful week! My DNFs led to deleting a few sequels I had grabbed in various offers, and I got a few four star reads too, which was nice!

NICE!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a huge drop :-)
It was a really productive end to the month! I don't think there is anything left I can delete except sequels to books I DNF. Now I need to read as much as I can! Thanks for your continued support!
