My tbr has managed to sneak up over 600 books again and action must be taken!!! So I am setting myself a pretty tough challenge-to get that tbr from 612 as it stands today, down to 500 books by December 31st. Yes it is an impossible sounding task but not everything on the tbr is full length reading-there are short stories, novellas and novels to be devoured! Even if I don't get to the target, I'll be pleased if I get close. It would be the first time in 5 years that my tbr was 500 or less! My updates on my progress won't be weekly, just whenever I have something to report! Anyone who wants to try and reduce their tbr is welcome to post on my update posts about their progress!
So here I am with my first update and we're off to a great start! I felt really motivated and have been reading every night. I have went from 612 books to 598 which is a pretty good start! Here is the list of what I read and what I abandoned so far.

You're off to a great start! I totally had to laugh at the title Help! A bear is eating me!! LoL

Yeah I didn't do too well with the bear...I was rooting for the bear actually! To be fair, you aren't meant to like the MC but I think I hated him too much and the book tried too hard to be funny and it didn't work for me. Hopefully, the review will be up soon...
DeleteOh wow! You are really knocking those books out! Sorry about the dnf's, but at least you know. :) Keep going strong!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest Melissa, it can be a relief to get a pile of DNF's! It helps your numbers go in the right direction! I downloaded a lot of free zombies books from various sites so I knew I wasn't going to like them all. As long as the pile is going down, I'm happy!
