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!
********************

Books Read: 3

Others Deleted From TBR: 5Rereads this year: 3

Numbers look a bit off but two books I looked at were not on the TBR so they can't come off the total.

I can't even begin to try to count my TBR. I have so many. But I should definitely work on thinning out my books I already own!

I know I have more to add and I'm gradually finding things I've missed out from the TBR. Adding them three per week keeps things under control and gives me a chsnce to read more than I add every week!
DeleteI hope you'll be able to tackle those books. I feel like my list always grows and grows. Wish you the best of luck!!
ReplyDeleteElle @ Keep on Reading
I've really reduced the pile this year! My target was to get under 1000 by the end of the year and I could beat that by 100!
DeleteTwo out is better than two more in! I wish I could say the same for myself. I'm out of room again for the physical copies.
ReplyDeleteNot the most productive week but it's going in the right direction!
DeleteYay for progress!! :)
ReplyDeleteTotally!
DeleteI need to work on my TBR. I know there are books on it that I've read and some I never will.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to start a book cull but I had to get control of my numbers! Now it is much easier to do. Looking at Goodreads and Amazon reviews helped me find everything with multiple tropes I hate-love triangles and love quads for a start, and I just deleted them!
