Mid-Continent Public Library discussion

I found this article and calculator on Book Riot. See how long it will take you to read your Goodreads TBR list. Mine calculated to be 9 years.

I think I will share this with my Book Glub members. How fun!

It did not factor in the purchasing of new books, and the library having new books (or at least ones that look good that are already on the shelves) If I just read the pile, and did not increase it, or get distracted by other books...it would not be what it said. It tells me I will get through it in 7 months. Well, there are books on my Kindle to be read that have been there at least 3 years. LOL

I thought about that because I am constantly adding. My TBR list is longer than my read.

Here is my result:
Reading all 1447 books will take:
11 years and 8 months

You will finish your TBR pile on:
April 2, 2027

It'll take me 20 years to read my TBR list

And I'm always adding more to it. I have books on my Nook and Kindle app that I didn't factor in.

Well now that you finished The Thirteenth Tale which was taking you sooooooo long it might have dropped to 8 years, right? ;)

(I challenged Amy to read The Thirteenth Tale! I *love* that novel.)

Yes, but I didn't challenge you to read that. That was your own doing.

Touché!!

Ps. I think YOU should challenge me to a book. You have been challenged to issue a challenge!

5 years and 2 months for 274 books

I think forever, but I'll have to use that book calculator!
