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!

NB Only one book read this week was on my TBR. I still expect to reach my 900 target before the year ends though.

No DNFs? That's nice! I can't not finish a book myself. They haunt me. LOL
ReplyDeleteI have too many books on the TBR to stick with things I'm not enjoying so I need to DNF. If I didn't my TBR would be doubled right now!
DeleteGood luck on reaching your goal.
ReplyDeleteI'll get there! I feel like I'm nicely on track this week!
DeleteIf you still expect to hit 900 you must read really fast because 15 for the rest of December is a lot to read! :) You can do it! :)
ReplyDeleteThere will probably be a few DNFs in that pile so that will speed things up and I'm targeting books under 200 pages which I can read in one day if I get enough time!
DeleteLooks like progress!!! :)
ReplyDeleteStuttered a bit recently but I still have two weeks to hit both goals and I'm confident about getting both done!
Deletedoing great. keep it up
