The below table is a complete list of the TBRs I have to read. As I read a book, I’ll mark it off and add the date read.

I told myself I cannot buy any new books until I read 50 from this list. We’ll see how that goes. That failed miserably and now I have more books I need to add to this list. <le sigh>

Check-in periodically to see how I’m progressing!

Update – April 2024

This goal failed mostly because it’s been tough 18+ months and I listened to more audiobooks than read physical books. This month, I marked about 30 or so books with N/A because I just did a hard purge. I took a look at the book, considered how long it had been on my shelf, read the synopsis, and then honestly considered whether I’d really ever read it. Those marked with N/A didn’t make the cut. They needed to go. Shelf space needed to be freed up. Check out my listings on PangoBooks.

As noted above, I already failed on the buying of the books. But I am trying to be more discerning with what books I buy. Right now, I’m not going to update this list. I will keep marking books off of it in efforts to get rid of this lot and then we’ll see where my shelves are.
