Title: How big is your TBR?
Post by: sweetiepi on April 17, 2021, 11:40:43 am

Just curious because I have ... a lot I want to read and surely I'm not alone!  :D

I currently have:
* 29 books I've either received or bought in my shelf/on my desk/on my bed in booksleeves
* a number of review e-copies (I review books for two blogs - my own (and associated bookstagram lol) and a big one called The Nerd Daily!)
* 8 physical library books
* 3 borrowed from my step-grandma
* a fair few unread on my kindle
* over 100 on my reading lists across the eLibrary apps

Fair to say I may be ... overbooked (badum tss) 😂

I'm kind of ashamed at how many books I have to read..... That's why i'm now on a book buying ban....

I have around 58 books on my shelf to read. About half of them I got from second hand book sales that recently came up in my area and I went kind of crazy on the books. I also have 4 books from the library to read, and around 20 on my kindle.

I don't even want to count. For one thing, it would take too long.

Hmm, perhaps 21?

•Week 1 Readings, Subject 1
•Week 1 Readings, Subject 2
•Week 1 Readings, Subject 3
•Week 2 Readings, Subject 1

And it kind of continues like that.

Beyond that, I did happen to realise I have no books I'm currently trying to read, as I seemed to have finished them all then stopped finding more — so thanks to this thread for pushing me to read a bit more! From that I started looking for books to keep me going, and I have now have three in my TBR:

• Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari (I froth non-fiction)
• The Jungle by Upton Sinclair (I'm ready to be sad)
• The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger (not normally my type but it was recommended to be in 2015, it's perhaps about time I fulfill my promise to read it)

I buy a book -> I read it before buying another one

so I guess my tbr is 0?

there are books I'm interested in but I don't have a list for future buys/borrows
