An idea I got from The Toddled Dredge (via K for Kat). Here’s what she said:
“So here today I present to you an Unread Books Challenge. Give me the list or take a picture of all the books you have stacked on your bedside table, hidden under the bed or standing in your shelf – the books you have not read, but keep meaning to. The books that begin to weigh on your mind. The books that make you cover your ears in conversation and say, ‘No! Don’t give me another book to read! I can’t finish the ones I have!’
When I first saw this, I started thinking that my list wasn’t all that big. Normally, I keep all my unread books put away nicely in my bookshelf. In order to take a picture, I started pulling books…and more books…and more books. The next thing I know, I had a stack piled precariously on my desk that swayed every time I got close to it.
I think at the final count, the stack was at 26 books. I also have at least four additional ARCs coming in the mail. My actual TBR pile is obviously much bigger than this (and keeps growing), as this only contains the books I have in the house. I’m not quite certain how I ended up getting quite this large an unread pile, but it is a little intimidating. Apparently, I need to spend less time on the computer and more time reading!
I figured that there were people out there with MUCH larger TBR stacks than mine. I'm OCD enough that this many unread books does bother me, but I ended up purchasing six more over the weekend, so it must not bother me too much. Happy reading, everyone!
I'm not buying anymore until i read at least 20 of my 103. Good Luck on your stack!
I got 200+ books. But it doesn't bother me much. I continue buying!
Here is my BTT post!
OMG girl, I have over 400 books on my shelf that I need to read. Seriously. Its a real sickness. But I WILL read them…it'll take me 10 years, but I will!
