That Dreaded TBR #63

I feel like I’m on a bit of a roll with these, and managing to get the TBR down, though very, very slowly. Still, it is getting there, and I can’t believe I’m not far off the 70th instalment of this. I haven’t calculated how many it would take to get to the end (IContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #63”

That Dreaded TBR #62

I feel like I’m back in the rhythm of these, and it’s a great ongoing thing to dip in and out of. I’m definitely seeing the ‘want to read’ shelf come down, though very gradually, but I still find it interesting to see what sort of books I wanted to read back over ten yearsContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #62”

That Dreaded TBR #61

It’s been a while since I did one of these, so these seemed like a good time to dig back in and see what else awaits on the TBR. We’re currently up to December 2013, and it’s interesting to see what my sort of ‘tastes’ were then and the kind of books I was hopingContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #61”

That Dreaded TBR #60

Yes, another instalment of That Dreaded TBR, and we are on number 60! We are currently up to December 2013, and slowly we’re getting this list down, a little at a time. Going through 5 books at a time means I have gone through 300 books during this series, and the last book I keptContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #60”

That Dreaded TBR #59

Another week, another look at the what-the-hell-was-past-Elle-thinking shelf on Goodreads! But that, I mean my want to read shelf, which is way too long and in need of a huge clear out, which I’ve been doing with these blog posts. And I realised I’m almost at number 60, which makes me kind of excited? ItContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #59”

That Dreaded TBR #58

Yes I am doing another post where I try to reduce my TBR. These are going really well, and I want to try and get through as many of the why-are-there-so-many-books-here-past-Elle ‘want to read’ shelf as I possibly can. It’s helping me remember some great series, too, where I’ve picked up the first book andContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #58”

That Dreaded TBR #57

I get a strange amount of joy out of doing these posts, which is great as I think I’ll be doing them for a long, long time to come! Hopefully by the time I eventually (if ever) get to the end, I’ll have wiped off some other books by actually reading them. I am makingContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #57”

That Dreaded TBR #55

Yes, I am back at it, trying to reduce my Goodreads want to read shelf five books at a time. I don’t think I’m doing too badly – if my calculations are correct, by this point I’ve gone through 270 books, and the next book on my shelf is currently 125, which means I haveContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #55”

That Dreaded TBR #53

Yes, back to my quest to get my TBR down a bit at a time. I think going forward I’m going to note what number book they currently are on my TBR, too, to help me keep track of it, especially now I’m over 100. The good news is I have managed to remove theContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #53”

That Dreaded TBR #52

Ah, yes, another look at my Goodreads Want to Read shelf. Some of these really do make me remember the time when I added them – I used to occasionally browse the Goodreads Recommendations, adding any book that caught my eye to my ‘Want to Read’ shelf. Usually, the recommendations were based on books I’dContinueContinue reading “That Dreaded TBR #52”
