Today’s Question(s) is …
How many books are on your “to be read” list?
My Answer(s) is …
Um… My TBR has over 1500 books on it and it grows much faster than I can read. My TBR has EVERY book I want to read on it, not just the books I own in physical or electronic form. I do cull my list once or twice a year and remove the books I’m no longer interested in reading. It can feel very overwhelming at times. I know I won’t even make a dent in my list before I die, but I still want to keep a list of all the books I might be interested in.
What about you? How many books do you have on your TBR?
I, like you, have an enormous list. I like having an enormous list. I often cull my list, too.
I like having an enormous list too. I’d rather have too much to read than not enough. 😀
That’s a large number. I only counted physical novels. My kindle has a large amount on it, but as I don’t see it, it doesn’t exist 😂 I do need to trim my Goodreads list but I think maybe one day I’ll get to reading it 🤣
Have a great weekend!

I totally get that. I know a lot of people do their TBR that way. I don’t count just my physical or kindle books because I hardly read them. 😂 I read library books more often than my own books. I’ve decided the books in my library are for the book collecting part of me rather than the reader part of me.
My tbr is bottomless. There are literly stack of books towering up. I need to go through them.
I have stacks of books that tower up as well. I think it’s a common problem among readers, lol. 😀
Don’t be mad, but I only have one–my February Book Club book. It’s going to be tough to get through. “The Rabbit Hutch” Very dark and depressing so far.
I’m not mad at all. I have friends that have TBRs like that. They love to read, but they want to spend more time pursuing their other interests. 😀 I’m sorry THE RABBIT HUTCH is a struggle. Sometimes my book club books are like that too.
Currently 1,691, LOL! This includes many of my Kindle books (not all) my virtual TBR, and most of the physical books I own that I haven’t read. I also cull my list down, or it would be much higher!!
I’m so glad I’m not the only one with such a large TBR. Everyone gives me such a hard time that it’s so big. 😀
Mine is very similar to yours, actually! It is hovering around 1500 as well, and includes ALL the things I want to read. I also do a culling every so often, which keeps it in check. I used to have over 3k, which was absurd, so now my main goal is to keep my “read” number bigger than my tbr number and I consider it a success!
Oh, wow! 3k is a lot. I can totally see why you cut it down. I’m glad you have a system that works for you now. 😀
I have so many books that I want to read and am always adding more! Have a great weekend!
Right?! I think that’s our (readers) lot in life, lol. Have a great weekend as well. 😀
