Heather Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 I am hoping mine will say about the same will have to do a recount as I did buy some books but mostly these days I swap. Quote
aromaannie Posted June 21, 2008 Author Posted June 21, 2008 I'm quite chuffed with myself as I have 19. I always feel good when it gets below the 20 mark Quote
Mbwun_Lily Posted June 21, 2008 Posted June 21, 2008 Way too many. I mean it - I've lost count there's so many. I swear, if I sat on my duff, and read 24/7 for a year or more, I probably wouldn't get through them all. Is there such a thing as Bookaholics Anonymous? Quote

Karen1 Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 My TBR list is now standing at 56, not including the one I'm currently reading or the one that I've got coming from RISI. Quote
supergran71 Posted June 22, 2008 Posted June 22, 2008 I hate to think how many I have in mine. Just added the Book of Lost Things and Lost and Found and I still have to start Emma for the Jane Austen book club!! Quote
Heather Posted June 24, 2008 Posted June 24, 2008 I will have to do a recount of mine as my book are all over the place just now Quote
supergran71 Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I will have to do a recount of mine as my book are all over the place just now Same here:blush: Quote
tbain Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I haven't really done a proper count but I would guess between 25 and 35 . Quote
carm Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I've stopped counting and am really trying not to add any until I make a dent in Mt. TBR Quote
Loopyloo100 Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 I've now crept up to 86 and I've nearly finished my latest read and I just cannot decide what to read next! Oh the dilemma! Quote
The Library Nook Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 I have completely lost track, especially since moving, but I am really in the mood for having a sort out. I should be working but...ooh what do you reckon!? Quote
Amanda Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Innumerable! On top of the various things I find along the way, I have this great book that my mom gave me called The Well Educated Mind: A Guide to the Classical Education You Never Had by Susan Wise Bauer. It has a great list of fiction, biographies, histories, plays and poetry to read, and she shared how to read different types of works in order to absorb and learn the most from them. I sort of alternate between her suggested reading and the things that I want to read on my own. Quote
Tiger Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 About 6. 1 I got a few weeks ago, three from my birthday and 2 from the library. Quote
Kell Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I'm proud to say I've managed to whittle my pile down to just 62 (from around 150 not so long ago!). Quote
aromaannie Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 Well done Kell - have you read all of them or passed them on Quote
Guest Tiresias Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 "Mount TBR." I like that! My Mt. TBR is about 30 high, down from a dismal 50. However, those that remain are the most daunting. But recently I decided not to buy any books until I have read everything, and reread my favourites. I shall conquer Mt. TBR! Quote
aromaannie Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 Mine is down to 14 but that's more to do with a lack of funds rather than being good. Quote
Guest Tiresias Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I think the best way to bring down Mt. TBR is this: By no means keep your unread books in the bookcase. Instead, keep them in a pile in the most conspicuous place you can find, whether it be your nightstand, coffee table, desk, or etc.. This works for a combination of reasons: Firstly, you will want to reduce clutter by reading the pile down to a more manageable size. Secondly, the more formidable the pile, the more it will silently admonish you every time you glance at it, which you will not be able to avoid doing, in view of its carefully selected prominence of place. And lastly, you will develop interest in the To-Be-Reads by casually glancing over them in your spare moments, as you will not doubt have occasion to do, given their geographical convenience. Good luck. Quote
tbain Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 25 in my TBR pile but have ordered a few of books off Amazon so more to be added to the list! Quote
