To-Read Shelf

[Sarah (Mood Reader)]

How many books are on your to-read shelf? I am starting to feel bad about how many books I have on this shelf and quite frankly am sort of glad it is a virtual bookshelf.

I have 309 books currently.

So just post your to-read books number and come back and update when you feel like it.

[Ed]

My To Read Shelf has 806 books on it. If I read 100 books a year and do not add any new volumes (impossible task), I will be 80 YOA when I finish.

Actually, when I'm traveling, I print it out and refer to it when visiting book stores. I also use it to decide what books to mooch or borrow from the library.

I used to get very frustrated when I would buy a book, I'd already read. Now I have a checklist sorted by author. Life is good!

[Mackenzie]

I see that not many people have posted here.

My to-read shelf currently has 551 books on it but if I were to add my "wishlist" shelf to it, because they're basically the same thing just I really want the books on my wishlist shelf; I'd have 742. Wow.

[Susanna]

Only 28 because I try to add only books that I actually have in my possession on that shelf. Which means I now have 20 books from the library and a few that I'm waiting on from the library. And some of my own.

[Cait]

715 and growing. :o)

[Bhumi]

235 books. As of now.

Ed and Cait have won the prize (and Mackenzie too!)... only (!) 569 on mine!

[Athira]

334 and still adding to it. :-)

[Dan]

595. I doubt my Read shelf will ever catch up with my To Read shelf.

[Roseann]

I only have 52 on my to-read shelf because if I physically went through all of the books I have that need to be read I would have no time to read!

I'm thinking about taking a "GoodReads" reading break when the Fall Semester stars (for a week or so) maybe I'll work on my shelf then.

[Lisa]

3,228.

Yes, I am insane. Check out my age and know that I read really slowly. There's no way, especially since I add new books nearly every day.

Before I joined Goodreads over 2 years ago, I'd pared down my to read list from about 600 to about 200 books.

Goodreads is a dangerous place!

3228??? *drooling*

Now that is scary. But yes, I can see where I am headed. *sheepish* I joined Goodreads last month and managed to add 380 books in less than 3 weeks. I can imagine where my pile will be in 2 years!! LOL

[Heather L]

TBR pile? More like a TBR mountain range complete with rolling foothills. I'm afraid to count them. More than 70 on the nightstand alone, and I don't know how many boxes that have yet to be read. I could never buy another book in my life (Ha! Like that's going to happen!) and never run out of something to read.

[Alycia]

I feel so much better seeing everyone else's response! I'm currently at 134; now I don't need to sweat it until I hit 4 digits.

[Liz]

I have 257 as of today. That is just the goodreads shelf, not my physical shelf. I wouldn't know.

[Catamorandi]

I have over 3,100 books on my TBR shelf. I feel exactly like Lisa as far as my ability to ever get all of these read in my lifetime.

[El]

I only have 47 in my bookshelf, and lots of them I don't even own! I have been on Goodreads quite a while, but forgot until quite recently...So I have not had the chance to put all books I have not read on it! :)

[El]

I now have 52 books to read on my shelf. Not on my real shelves. On my real selves the "to-read" shelves is more like "to re-read" shelves!!!!
