alison10 Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Mine is just coming up to the 700 mark!!!! Must get some reading done!!! Quote
lauraloves Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I've got quite a little pile in comparison to some then! I've got 90 and I thought that was huge! might have to get some more books just as everyone else has so many Quote
Kidsmum Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I don't like to think about it because I buy books most weeks so my TBR pile never really goes down Quote
TheNinthWord Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I've just counted and I have 23 books on my TBR shelf. It's been pretty stagnant recently since I've been doing a lot of reading for university, but I've decided I'm going make time to read things not related to my course. Quote
lexiepiper Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Over 200. My aim at the beginning of the year was to bring the size of it down a bit, but instead I've just bought loads of new ones and read them instead! Quote
Yellow Wallpaper Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 I get my books from the library, so I currently only have one TBR. Magazines on the other hand, are a different story. I have about 10 in my TBR stack. Quote
vinay87 Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 (edited) sixty two and counting. (I must have bought about 50 books this year!) Edited November 15, 2010 by vinay87 Quote
Guest Nyobe Posted December 6, 2010 Posted December 6, 2010 In my immediate TBR pile I have 11 books. In my will-get-there-one-day TBR pile I have over 1000 books. Quote
Ophelia Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Sherpa Tensing would have problems scaling my TBR pile Quote
Kylie Posted December 8, 2010 Posted December 8, 2010 Sherpa Tensing would have problems scaling my TBR pile Nice one. Quote
frankie Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 My TBR was at a little over 200 books at the beginning of this year, and now that I've read over 100 books this year, I'm standing at 364 or so. I blame other BCF members. Quote
Chrissy Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 I blame other BCF members. Frankie blames Kylie! Quote
frankie Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 Yes, the cat is out of the bag, I blame Kylie first and foremost but there are so many of you who keep on reading excellent books and reviewing and recommending them, I couldn't begin to name you all Quote
Chrissy Posted December 10, 2010 Posted December 10, 2010 In all fairness frankie, I think most if us blame Kylie! I know there are a number of book logs I have to actively avoid when I'm a bit poor ~ some reviews just cry out and insist on a purchase. Why can't I be happy with a wishlist instead? OK, I'm going to do a very quick cursory count on the books in this room, right now that are awaiting my time....187 I can see from where I'm sitting in this little room. I haven't included the hardcover classics upstairs that I plan on explorin, nor the books on the shelves in the room next to this one that I want to read for the first time. *GULP* That is as far as I am prepared to go with counting what I cosider to be the uncountable! Adding them together only leads to lost mojos and frantic choosing. Quote

Why can't I be happy with a wishlist instead? Because it's not funny anymore when your wishlist is getting longer and longer, soon rivaling with mount TBR in numbers. TBR needs to be bigger. It's got an ego. Quote
Kylie Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 Hey, I'm right here ya know! I can see you talking about me. And I will have you know that Frankie has been the worst (best?) influence on my TBR pile this year. She kept egging me on to buy more and more books and then kept giving me loads more books as she finished reading them. There are many other culprits too, but unlike some people, I won't shame them in a public forum. My TBR has gone over 800. That's all I have to say about that. Quote
frankie Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 It's now officially over 800?? That I did not know! Besides, you kept taking me to all those secondhand bookshops, so it was only fair that you bought HEAPS of books from those places Quote
Kylie Posted December 11, 2010 Posted December 11, 2010 I thought it was over 800 but I just counted it up and it's a few below. I'll stand by 800 though because I have quite a few books on their way to me. Quote
Gad786 Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I have 59 to be read....every now and then I find a book that is too stupid to read and it gets abandoned....or its just not my type of book..... Quote
frankie Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Posted 10 December 2010 - 03:56 PM "My TBR was at a little over 200 books at the beginning of this year, and now that I've read over 100 books this year, I'm standing at 364 or so." And I thought that was bad. Now currently at 556 or so. Quote
frankie Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 86, as of today Aren't you the least bit curious to see how it would feel if your TBR was in three digits? Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Aren't you the least bit curious to see how it would feel if your TBR was in three digits? Hang on, let me think about that ........... No! Quote
Chrissy Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I'm still unwilling to count mine....it may scare my mojo too much. Quote
