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!

Reading 8 books in a week is a fantastic way to reduce those numbers!
ReplyDeleteDo you think you'll keep this series of posts going in '20 or do you have a number in mind that is your goal and then you'll stop?
I think I might do a monthly Tackling the TBR as reducing the weekly total can be stressful if I don't read much in a particular week! My goal is way down at 200 which will be a few years away!
