Abcinthia Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Currently I have about 60-70 books. Hopefully I'll cut that down soon. Quote
Talisman Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 Now I have been converted to Kindle, I don't have a TBR pile as such - I simply download another book when the previous one is finished. I do however have a lengthy wish list, from where most books are downloaded, which I guess is the equivilant - it currently has about 60 titles on it and seems to be growing by the day. Quote
karen.d Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I have about 20 books on my TBR list. My wish list of books, is another story. I have no idea how many are on that list, there are too many to count. Quote
lauraloves Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I have 337 as it stands, its far too much and I really need to cut it down asap! Quote
chesilbeach Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 As of today, mine is 47. Looked back through the thread and saw my post from when I first joined the forum in Jan 2009 which said it was 90, so I'm pretty pleased to be able to come back with a lower number, and will be even happier when it's down into single figures!

chaliepud Posted March 19, 2012 Posted March 19, 2012 I have mine down to 48 which I am really pleased about, a few of those I will probably never read but I like to keep a varied collection to choose from... Quote
Devi Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) 38 books and 75 e-books and 3 from the library. I hate to think how many there are in my to buy list though I reckon over a 100 easily. Edited March 20, 2012 by Devi Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 86, as of today 87 as of last night, as I accidentally bought a book on the way home Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Maybe I was browsing, it was a book I was going to buy eventually anyway (Bernard Cornwell's The Last Kingdom), it was in perfect condition, so I eventually found myself at the till. I'm surprised it was only the one, actually, as they had the whole series and they were all in great condition (I can't buy knackered books, it's against my nature ). Still, there's always the journey home tonight Quote
AlysonofBathe Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 I lost count ages ago. Cheers, Alyson Quote
SueK Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 I've lost count too. Especially with the ever growing Kindle library..... Quote
RachelleVaughn Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 Oh, much too many to count! There are never enough hours in the day! Quote

So apparently you do not really need my personal book non-buying trainer services Yay, now we can start harassing you to buy awesome books! Quote
chesilbeach Posted March 22, 2012 Posted March 22, 2012 So apparently you do not really need my personal book non-buying trainer services Yay, now we can start harassing you to buy awesome books! Well, obviously every time I think about buying a book, I think, "No, I don't want to let frankie down" so I think you're having much more influence than you can imagine But, there is no way you're going to tempt me with any new books yet!!

poppyshake Posted March 25, 2012 Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) This is a thread to shame one I don't know the full extent of my TBR .. I will go away and start counting Okay well without rummaging about in boxes or anything or venturing down into the basement .. the amount of unread books on the shelves is ... 206 so I guess it will be around the 250 mark at least. I'm oppressed now Edited March 25, 2012 by poppyshake Quote
Karsa Orlong Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Aaaaaand my TBR pile shoots back up to 89 Quote
pickle Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 I think I have 2 maybe 3 books I own and haven't read....fropm the sounds of it I need to get shopping, thank goodness its payday at the end of the week. Saying that I need more support on updating my list I am woeful at keeping that up to date I must have read about 20 books since I last looked at it....ooops Quote
chaliepud Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Down to 43, am feeling inspired by Chesil, though I don't want it below 20 or so as I always like a selection of books to choose from! I'm trying to read the books that have either been there longest or that I have been given by friends first. It's going well at the moment... Quote
chesilbeach Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Wow, I've never been an inspiration to anyone! Keep up the good work, chaliepud Mine is now at 42 so 5 down since I last posted, and I'm hoping to finish a few more this week too. Can't wait to be under 40, as it will be another milestone. Quote
lauraloves Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Mine has just hit 350 I really need to stop going onto amazon and downloading freebies. I am not doing so well on 'real' books either I seem to be picking up my kindle more than the books Quote

Well you are! I would challenge you to a race seeing as our 'scores' are so close, but I know you read much quicker than I do so I'll not set myself up for failure! I was however looking at the shelf earlier and there are a few books there that I'm not sure I will ever read so I may well perform a small cull in the near future... Quote
onetwothree Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Oh lord. I buy and buy and buy and don't complete any!!!!!!! Quote
