Edited 25/1/2012 - started Magic Study.Progress so far read 3 TBRs. Bought none since 1/1/12
OK I'm in. I've decided I'm doing the "toughie sprint". That means that I can only list books here if they will reduce my TBR total from whatever it was on December 31st 2011. In other words, if I go out and buy 3 books, then the next three books I read from my TBR pile cannot go onto this list because they will be balancing out the books I've just bought. So I'm going to have to read 55 more TBR pile books than I buy in 2012 to complete this challenge. Wish me luck - I'll need it!
I'll have to set up the camps and books as I go, I can't plan my reading too far in advance.
To base camp:
1.Don't Tell Alfred - Done
2.Every Man for Himself - Done
3.Magic Study (>3 months on TBR) - Done

It's the Tired Sprint version for me. I'm aiming to clear two shelves of TBRs next year. I'll do my best not to buy any more books, until the ones I already have on those shelves are read. Bookrings/rays and RABCKs don't count as buying, right? ;)
Completed: 1/55

Nope, I don't count bookrays, rings, rabcks, libraries or even trades as 'buying' so I'm with you! I need to curb the buying as well to tackle the tbr. I was going to say no new books till Christmas but I just remembered I placed an amazon order yesterday...

I'll have to go with #2...I find myself listing books on the TBR, but I rarely get to them. I've got 2000+ books on my list, but don't always go back b/c they don't fit something else I'm specifically looking for. I've got a better shot of finishing without being required to go back a specific set of months.OPTION TWO-The Tired Sprint
