Last year I got my TBR down by 300 books which was great! In 2020 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 monthly post to show my progress-what came into the house, what I read and DNFed and what was deleted 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!
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 refers to books read that were ON the TBR and DNFed is 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 final day
of the month and anyone
else is welcome to join in. No rules, set up your posts how you
want and when you want, just reduce the pile!

Unless I get my reading back on track soon, it could be a really long time coming! *giggles* This month is going to be about dogs in books so I have zombie and apocalypse books lined up for that!
