It happens to me on a ridiculous scale (I actually have a 25 page word document!) and I too would like some advice.

i hold myself from adding more book to my tbr XD currently it's like 15 books and half of it is not out yet, so i'm not drowing in book-sea
In my opinion, I prefer read your personal TBR books because the book that this book club readalong (currently Amy & Roger's Epic Detour) might not be worth to you. You don't know how to story goes, how good the story is. I don't buy books that I don't deserve to have. Buy the books you want. But, if you desperately want to join this month's readalong, it's your choice. :)
Borrow the book from the library and then you can decide if you would like to purchase it for your own personal collection.
get books from the library or just the used formant of that book and if like get the better verstion
I don't have a huge TBR in physical books that I bought, but I do add books that seem interesting to me to my TBR on Goodreads and there are a lot of books. I don't really care too much about that honestly, I will pick up what I like to read next when I feel like it. I just like to have a list of books that I can look on to when I have no clue what to read next.Regarding your issue: I usually just finish the book I'm currently reading and then start readalong read. I do like to participate in readalongs, even if it's not a book I would like to read the most, because I really enjoy reading other people's responses. Well, sometimes I read multiple books at the same time, but don't like that so much.
If you have giant list of to-read books and it bothers you, what about just deleting it? It would take the pressure off your chest I imagine. Or maybe select 10 books from it and delete the others, or if that's too bold, maybe make short-term tbr. Take 10 books and after you finished them take another 10, and ignore all the others. Maybe that would work?
my goodreads TBR(right now): 2845 books at the moment!solution: read more often and more quickly?
This has been how I found and amassed my huge Young adult genre book collection when I first found booktube with Katytastic and Polandbannanas books, I slightly regret buying all those, now that I have found my amazing clique of friends who read scifi and fantasy novels!!! :) still adding tons to my TBR though. I usually will buy them first in the used format or try a few chapters while sitting in my local library :)
^I know that. Similar situation here, only I didn't buy a lot of books. I just discovered tons of books with booktube. I don't live in an English-speaking country, so my library doesn't stack a lot of English books, so I had nowhere to find them, since I wasn't on GR at that time and didn't follow any book blogs (didn't even know that was a thing).Stephen wrote: "my goodreads TBR(right now): 2845 books at the moment!

Whoa, I thought I had a lot of books on TBR with my 554 books. :D Your solution would do me well. :)
I'm guilty of grabbing Amazon books while they're free. I currently have over 400 unread books on my Kindle...I try to read only books I have for readathons but I add to it so quickly it's pointless to try to zero it out.
Where do you find out if the book is available for free? Is there a section in the shop, or how do you find out? I wouldn't mind some free books. :D
I use hundredzeros.com and ohfb.comYou can sign up for Book Bub emails and a few a day are free.
Usually indie authors and you risk reading crap or horrible edits...but I've found a few favorites.
My TBR is a nightmare. I keep discovering new books that are coming out and rediscovering old one I want to read again. I think I am sitting at 600+. I have officially put myself on a book buying ban until December.
I don't get why do people get so obsessed with their TBRs... I treat it only as a "place" where I stack books that I've read or heard about and don't want to forget about them in case I'll want to read them someday. But I always read what I currently want to read, not what's on the list and I don't care if my TBR consists of 10 or 1000 books. I know that I'll read them eventually, I just don't put too much pressure on myself.

I add loads of books because everything just sounds so interesting! ^^
In the apartment I was in last year(moved out since) I had over 200 unread books and that's only the ones I had with me, most of my books are at my parents' house... I may have a book buying problem on top of just creating super long online TBR lists! xD
