Gosh too many to count! I have started a TBR list for each month to start and work my way through it

On goodreads my TBR list has over 100 books. For this month, I have about 5 books that I want to get through.

My to be read list is very long. As far actual books on my bookshelf that I've bought (and the one I have out from the library) and not read yet, I just counted 14. I didn't realize I had that many!

I currently have 77 TBR. After I finish off my latest, I've decided to stick to clearing that list off. It's hard though, so many new releases lol

I have 49 unread books on my actual bookshelf, 31 on my "get-from-the-library-at-some-point-before-I-die" list, and at least 20 on my "to-purchase-when-I-have-money" list. So about 100 or so...

Latest Review: "Evil Water" by Inger Wolf

Post by newlndnfire »

Way too many. I have piles and piles of book I've purchased for garage sales for 25 cents, books I've purchased full price, ect. In my head, thousands! There is always something I want to read or re-read and I'm sure I'll never get around to it all!

An avid reader will always have books TBR books. We are alway looking for new books to read and add more every time. I do not know of any avid reader who doesn't have a TBR list or one that only contains a few books. Impossible. :)

As a librarian my tbr just keeps growing. I have 139 on my good reads account and that isnt including the new things I have seen since ordering books for the library I work for. I am just one person and there are so many wonderful books out there.

At least 20. And these are the ones sitting on my shelves. I have many books I want to get like S by Doug Dorst (created by J.J. Abrams) and Letters of Note by Shaun Usher.

Guilty! I have about 70 books on my phone that I am just waiting to read and I am constantly adding to that list.

About 20 on the shelf and 5 next to the bed. I usually pick up a few to take to work so I work my way through them pretty quick. Then I have a TBR list on GoodReads that stretches into eternity. Then there's the wish list on B and N.com...
