TBR Clear Out Readathon discussion

An introduction board for the TBR Clear Out Readathon 2025! Announcement video to come soon . . .

Anyway, hi, I'm Katie from Books and Things on Booktube, and I have around 60 books on my physical TBR, which is a few more than I'd like. I don't mind the number so much as that some of them have been there for too long!

Hello! I'm Tanya. I'm a Booktube lurker. I'm interested in joining. I honestly don't have a large TBR but this sounds like fun.

Hi! I'm Helen a long time watcher and can't wait to do this readalong again! I have at least 300 on my physical tbr and also have a lot of audiobooks and ebooks.

Hello everyone,

My name is Thaizi and I am from Brazil.
I have a lot of books on my TBR and I was checking my WANT TO READ shelf and I have 438 (!!!) books I want to read since 2017.
I will try to read a book from my physical shelf and my WANT TO READ shelf :)

Thank you Tanya.
Do you speak Portuguese?
That's so nice :)

De nada (You are welcome).

Thaizi,

I can't speak Portuguese. I think my cousin's Brazilian boyfriend said garfo is either spoon or fork...I think fork, and a hummingbird is called a beija-flor. That's the depth of my Portuguese expertise. 😂

Hi, my name is Ewa, I'm from Poland. I love reading, different books, and my list of books to reading is so long that I'm ashamed to admit it 🤣 I'm very happy that I will take part in this readathon. Forgive any mistakes, I'm still learning English. Warm greetings to everyone ☺️

It is Ok Tanya 😆

Garfo is fork.
Beija-flor is hummingbird

It is a good start 😀

Hi Ewa! Welcome.

Hi, i am Zsuzsi, I am a booktuber (thepetitereader) participating in this with a 65 book long physical TBR (and 250 book size e-TBR 🤣🤣)! All my books sound so good, I’m in trouble…🤣

Hi everyone!

I'm Flik ( @flikreads ) and I'm trying to crack on with my physical TBR. I have probably 70-100 books on my shelves, a two year old, and a bunch of video games that are taking up my spare time but I want to carve out time for reading since it makes me happy when I do!

Keen for a nice low key readathon with you all :)

Hello and welcome everyone :)

I mostly forget about/ignore my ebook TBR XD. I definitely treat my physical TBR like a to-do list and my ebook TBR like a library of possibilities I may refer to in the future.

Also a Katie, here for the second year - loved how much this challenged me last year, so I'm looking forward to trying this again!

Hello I'm Megan and I am here for the second year. I really enjoyed this readathon in 2024 and I'm excited to participate again!

Hi, I'm Lana.
Last month I only read one book that I own, all the rest were either borrowed or audio/e-books on Everand. So, this will be a great opportunity to put a dent in my physical TBR!
Looking forward to this readathon! :)

Hi, I'm Gaby and I'm here for the second year. Last year I read at least four books that had been on my shelves for more than twenty years and that I probably wouldn't have read to this day without this readathon.
