How many books are in your TBR pile?

[Misfit]

OK, let's get this one going again over here. Counting only the pile and not the mental to read list or the Amazon wish list but how many are actually in that pile. Me, about 30 but I recall there are a few members who will shame with with their TBR count. :D:D

At the moment I have twenty-nine un-read books on my bookshelf. Soon to be thirty when Lords of the Bow arrives.

I enjoy buying books and don't mind paying retail prices. I'm still in the stage of my life when I don't pay bills or rent, so most of my income from my job goes on books and DVDs. Quite often I'll go into Borders or Dymocks, find something I like and buy it, but not end up reading it until a year later. :o If I actually wasn't trying to curb my spending I would have a lot more than that I think.

um - 329...

[sweetpotatoboy]

Mine is 300+ also (I counted when we had this thread on the old forum).

[LCW]

Last time I actually counted each book but this time lets just say it's somewhere around 250+! :o

[Rowan]

I've never counted the TBR's that are unpurchased, but they are a fair number. The ones I have purchased, but not read number around a half-dozen.

[LCW]

The sad thing, depending on how you look at it, lol, is that my number is actually the books I have physically on my shelves in my home! Sigh! I got a bit carried away!!

LOL, I think you're ahead at least until Telynor checks in :p:):D

[Spitfire]

I really don't have that many. I continually weed out until I have only the gems remaining. So I have 55 on my TBR list.

[SonjaMarie]

Currently I'm reading one, I have 3 others from Booksfree, 2 more coming next week most likely and 2 I own that are on the backburner til I finish the others.

Well, I actually think I have more than most people... I haven't counted in years because the number scares me. I used to be the sort that only had like fifty at the most and I have far surpassed that over the years.... I probably have over 350 and that is with constant weeding out. This year is the first year that I am actually reading what I bring in the house because both my buying and my reading is down!

Last time I counted both the books I have read and the books I haven't read... it was over a thousand. And that is with getting rid of books that I read and didn't enjoy!

[Divia]

Well my non fiction collection is growing faster than I thought it would. I'm trying to limit the amount i buy though. I still have about 30 books I need to read...maybe more. And new ones come out all the time. Who can keep up!

What, exactly, are you weeding out and why?

[diamondlil]

I have 35 out from the library at the moment (with 7 waiting there to be picked up) and then i have about 150 books here to read at some point that I own.

On my TBR list (ie. not bought or borrowed yet) there are over 2000 book titles.

[Divia]

OMG 2,000!!!!!!!!!! :eek: Will you ever be able to read all of them?

[diamondlil]

No....but they are there so that I know what order a series is in and whether I can get them from the library etc.

[Ariadne]

I have about the same number, probably more actually, and the sad thing is that they're all on shelves at my house, bought and waiting for me to get to them. I'll be lucky to live long enough to read them all... meanwhile authors keep coming out with more!
