Down the TBR – Unwrapping Words

That Dreaded TBR #74

I’m pretty convinced at this point this series will go on forever. I keep trying to keep an eye out for the books that are at the top of my Want to Read, but I’m not making much headway there. Still, on we go, to see which books I still want to read and whichContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #74”

That Dreaded TBR #73

There are currently way too many books on my Want to Read shelf, so I’m back with another instalment of That Dreaded TBR (dun dun dun). Here, I attempt to reduce the books on this shelf by going through them five at a time, seeing which ones catch my interest and which ones I’m justContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #73”

That Dreaded TBR #72

Diving back in, and we’re still in December 2013. Quite different types of books popping up now, and if I had to guess I’d think they were likely ones recommended to me, or I stumbled across in the Goodreads recommendations (which I really enjoyed going through, until they started glitching on me because, well, myContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #72”

That Dreaded TBR #70

Here we are again, with another attempt to get rid of some of those books on my Goodreads Want to Read shelf. Last time, I removed all 5 books I looked at, so it’ll be interested to see how many I get rid of today. This is the 70th time I’ve done this, so afterContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #70”

That Dreaded TBR #69

Another look at my way-too-big Goodreads Want to Read shelf, and as always, there seems to be quite a few zombie books here. I keep hoping it’ll eventually move away from zombies, but I know I was going through a bit of a phase – as was the rest of the world – when theseContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #69”

That Dreaded TBR #68

My Goodreads Want to Read shelf is way, way too big. It’s a huge, disorganised mess, and I long ago had to stop using it to actually track books I want. So, these posts are my way of trying to reduce it, at least a bit. And so far I’ve done 68 of them, whichContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #68”

That Dreaded TBR #67

I don’t think I’ll manage 4 books going again for a while, but we’ll see. I’m finding it really interesting seeing what books I was interested in reading all those years ago, but never actually got around to. Hopefully I can actually read some of the earlier ones on the list at some point, andContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #67”

That Dreaded TBR #66

It’s been a few weeks since I did one of these, so thought it was time to do another one! This is one of my favourite types of posts to do, as I find it really interesting to go back and see what books I was interested in way back when, and I think gettingContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #66”

That Dreaded TBR #65

Looks like I’m still with the horror anthologies for the time being, seems towards the end of 2013 I was searching out a lot of horror, and using anthologies to try and gage whether I wanted to read this or that author. Problem is there are so many excellent anthologies out there now that tendContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #65”

That Dreaded TBR #64

It felt like a good time to dive back onto the Want to Read shelf, and see if I can clear any more out. I feel like I’m making progress, and sometimes my ultimate choices surprise even me. A quick glance at the next 5 though makes me feel like there’s some tough decisions ahead.ContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #64”
