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 books bought either this week or a while back but
just being added to the TBR list now due to Chuckles being lazy.
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!

You are making progress. After all those reviews I did in October I actually put a tiny dent in my TBR. LOL
ReplyDeleteIt always feels good to make a bit of progress...good luck!
DeleteDoes getting the tbr all the way down to 900 seem like a reasonable goal by years end or are the holidays going to be so busy that it cuts into your reading time?

900 will be a reasonable goal for the end of the year. We don't do anything over the festive period-no parties or visiting relatives or anything, just my dad and I watching TV and chilling out. The holidays are the same as every other day of the year for us so plenty reading time!
