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 when there is something to report 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!

This was a good week! Inspired by Barb I tackled a pile of older books by a couple of horror authors. I found them not greatly to my taste hence the DNFs and deletions but I at least feel motivated to get going with reading again! I want to get as close to 1000 as I can but that will be a tough ask for 10 months. We'll see how close we get though!
It was a good week for you. I came across some really good books and my TBR grew quickly. LOL
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a pretty good booky week for you too!
DeleteOh yay! That's good progress.

DeleteProgress in the right direction. That's what we all want to see :-)

It's taken ages to sort myself out with this challenge but at last I'm getting a grip of it! I now have a target of 1000 books to break through though I don't see me doing that by December! Any progress is good though. I have a few short books by new authors to try and I'm ready to go this week!
DeleteGood progress for you this week!
ReplyDeleteI seem to be going the other way with books starting to stack up precariously :-/
Yes it was MUCH better on the book side of things! Those horror books have cluttered up my TBR for a while so it was nice to deal with them!
DeleteDown by 13 is quite an achievement though!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good week for sure! I need to work out what I'm going to tackle next and try to get a few off the pile again.
