Clear Your TBR... discussion

Because making a thread will probably help somehow. ;)
I believe I had ... 200ish books when I joined this group? So far I've narrowed it down to 187 (mostly by taking books off that I knew I wouldn't read but ah well).
Let's see if I can clear it entirely!

187 is good! :D

Just keep at it, and whatever you do, don't let yourself add new books to your to-read list. I keep doing that!

Ah, thanks, y'all!
Yeah ... I should probably try to do that Karis ... XD I've been failing at not adding had books and now have 191 ... We shall see what happens now that I'll force myself to stop ... :P

I'm doing the same thing, Sarah. So, don't feel bad :)

Thanks, Karis, though I hope you can get yours down! ;P

So I'm currently at ... 196? Yeah ... not sure what I'm doing but I don't think it's working particularly well ... ;)

Hey so question for anyone: There's a lot of books on my TBR list that are just the first (or next) book in a series. In most cases, I try and plan on reading the entire series of any series I start. Sooo ... the problem is, like I said I only of the first book on the actual list, even though I plan on reading them all. Should I add the rest of the series to my actual TBR list so the number actually gets smaller as I read stuff I've been meaning to read OR should I just continue doing what I'm doing now and ads the next book in the series to the list when I actually get around to reading the other one and never have my TBR list actually get smaller? :P
Sorry for the long question, I'm grateful for any answers. I guess it doesn't matter that much in the long run but I was just wondering if I could be managing this better ... XD

Good luck on all your TBR piles!

@Ann(e?), I've been doing the same thing. And yeah, I was just thinking about how counterproductive it is ... xD

Thanks, Manda!

So I currently have 198. Which is ... Yeah. Still not exactly sure what I'm doing; I'm thinking maybe I'm adding these books in my sleep? ;) I've actually been reading some off the pile so that's good but ... anyway. xD

Ha! Yes, I feel the same way! I'm reading so how can my to-read shelf be growing like it is!

I'm currently at ... 211? Ack. XD So far this isn't really working. I'm hoping now that it's summer I'll be able to narrow it down quite a bit.

I just deleted a bunch of long standing books that I just realized I really have no interest in reading. Down to 204!
