This week's question is a good one:
Do you think you will ever read every book in your TBR stack?
My response:
Well, my first impulse is to laugh hysterically and say, "No way!" :)
But really, my answer is: "it depends." If you only count the books that are physically on my TBR Pile, I could probably read them all in the next five years or so, and I am really trying to do that. I have also really disciplined myself to avoid the temptation of bargain books, as I find them hard to resist, so that has helped keep the pile at a fairly consistent number of books over the past year.
However, if you count all of the books that I would like to read, but that I don't have a physical copy of here on the actual pile, that TBR number is much higher. And there will always be more and more books that sound interesting that I will want to read in the future... so in reality, the "virtual" TBR pile will probably always have plenty of books on it, and it will probably never be finished.
How is your TBR pile looking??
I do TRY to limit the amount of books I purchase for my actual TBR pile, but as far as my "virtual" TBR list, pretty much anything I think I may be interested in goes on it. Bargain books are my weakness, too . . . :-)
ReplyDeleteI understand because I am trying to read all the piles of piles but more keep showing up. One day!!!
ReplyDeleteGood point. I try not to buy too many new books at one time which helps keep my physical TBR list doable. My virtual list, on the other hand, is constantly changing.
ReplyDeleteI only have three physical books at home that I still haven't gotten to yet because of procrastination. But on the other hand, my virtual list is 100+
ReplyDeleteI've been a new blogger since beginning of this year, and my list has grown enormously in the past 3 weeks!
ReplyDeleteGood for you being able to resist all those books to add to your physical pile!
