When I went through my list I actually realized that there were so many books I just wasn't interested in anymore...Bregjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801475091006202555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-18043184232034737942016-02-27T07:08:54.910+01:002016-02-27T07:08:54.910+01:00I hope this works for you!

The last time I went through it I saw so many books I didn't even recognize and books that are just so not my thing and it's like why??! I've thought about just cleaning it out by going on GR ans deleting the ones I don't want to read anymore but, let's be real, that takes so long on the mobile app and I know I'll just be like 'you know what, I should keep all of these because maybe one day I'll give them a chance' and that accomplishes nothing. But this is such a genius idea -- I'll definitely try it! :)Carihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415250394540250816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-17527679548938601152016-02-26T12:30:52.274+01:002016-02-26T12:30:52.274+01:00I did that last year.

Basically, if I've just bought some books online for instance, I try to read the same number of books from my TBR before my new books arrive. That way, my TBR stays manageable :)<br /><br />Also, I’ve nominated you for the Book Fangirling Award!

I have quite a few lists. Currently I am trying to read as many of my borrowed books (from friends and family) as I can in the next month so I can get them back to the people they belong to and also clear off my shelves. I have put myself on a ban until I return at least 10 books. So far it is going slower than I thought- but I hope to pick up the pace. ;)<br />~JessDMShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04202502753961748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-69522228779962069762016-02-25T00:18:23.258+01:002016-02-25T00:18:23.258+01:00Yikes - a list that long would send me to hide und...Yikes - a list that long would send me to hide under the covers. I have a list of review books that's maybe 30-40 books, and then a physical pile that's on a shelf under my nightstand. Once that's full, I have to weed stuff out and remind myself that I can get books from the library.<br />Great job on the cutting!<br /><a href="http://jenryland.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Jen @ YA Romantics</a><br />Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756695137600895936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-43231291138050006302016-02-24T13:25:28.714+01:002016-02-24T13:25:28.714+01:00I had (well, still have) a very long tbr list on G...I had (well, still have) a very long tbr list on Goodreads with pretty much every single book I think I might enjoy. Not very long ago I created another one called "tbr next" (already owned books)... then I created another one for books I also wanted to read, but had yet to buy... Sounds like a mess, but surprisingly, I feel very happy with my lists now haha :)<br /><br />Oh and of course there's the "provided for review" list, with books I have to read soon for review... :D<br /><br /><i><b><a href="http://lipstickandmocha.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Lipstick and Mocha</a></b></i>Carla Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06268478482673884958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8964812786330789100.post-66796600110080041652016-02-24T09:42:14.017+01:002016-02-24T09:42:14.017+01:00I have TBR lists in different places, and I try no...I have TBR lists in different places, and I try not to look at them.
