Lucybird Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I just counted all the books on my TBR, including the ones I'm borrowing off family members.The count is only 5 which isn't too bad, but longer than I normally have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Every time I read the title of this thread I visualise a very stern looking woman with a pinched expression, glasses at the end of her nose, a severe hair style, black official looking clothes and a clip board looking disgusted at my book collection! This can't be healthy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaelk Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Due to problems with depression and drinking, I haven't been reading for the last few years but was still buying and collecting books that appealed to me. Now that I've turned the corner I suddenly find that I have a lot of books, classics and new novels that I can't wait to get stuck into. A rough estimate would be around 120 books in my TBR pile . Most of these I have had years and never read them. And due to the discovery of this forum, I am branching out to new genres so I can see my TBR pile increasing.

Lucybird Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Is that it? You must have a lot of self control! More lack of funds! I was buying more when I was working but didn't usually have a pile of more than 3, I would buy them in the 3 for 2 offer at waterstones, read them then buy more. I have 2 others I'm waiting to receive though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
France Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Pile? Who can fit their TBR books into a measely pile? I've got a bookcase. When we moved recently I packed all my TBR books in separate packing cases. Four of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ooh, I could never do that! I've had some of my older books for years that I still haven't read because they just don't appeal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leah86 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I wish i was like that because quite often I'll look at the pile and think I want to read that one now! Can't bring myself to do it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
