What's the most recent book added to your TBR? Le Cri Des Pierres on 17th May, it's the second of a series I just started.Which book has been on it the longest? The Silence of the Lambs, one of the first books I added when I subscribed to Goodreads on March 23, 2011 (I do plan on reading it this year).
Which book has the least number of ratings? Le secret de Moïse, a French book that only has 2 ratings.
Which book did you rate the lowest? Wasn't it the lowest rated book on my TBR? It seems weird to have a book from my read shelf suddenly... On my read shelf it's The Girl on the Train and on the TBR it's We Can Be Mended (Divergent 3.5) with 3.01 stars
What's the longest book? A Dance with Dragons with 1,125 pages O_o
What's the most recent book added to your TBR?I actually recently went on a huge adding spree to my TBR, looking ahead to upcoming releases for next year. The last book that I added was Left Drowning, which I added because I really enjoyed another book by the same author and was interested in seeing if she had written anything else.
Which book has been on it the longest?
According to Goodreads, it's technically Mansfield Park, but I actually added multiple books at about the same time the first day I started my account, so I'd say they would all count as one the list the same amount of time. That one just happened to be the first of many.
Which book has the least number of ratings?Calculus of Change, The Bakersville Dozen and Meant to Be have only one rating each, which makes sense since none of them are out yet.
Of books that have actually been released, Nim: A Chimpanzee Who Learned Sign Language has the lowest number of ratings, with only 19.
Which book did you rate the lowest?
I'll exclude the books that I never gave a star rating to, most of which are books I read a really long time ago and couldn't remember what I thought.
Actually -- now that I'm thinking about it, this doesn't seem relevant to a TBR. It just seems to relate to books I already read. Of those, my lowest ratings were for Twilight, Breaking Dawn and Two Little Girls in Blue, all of which were rated 2 stars.
To follow what others here have done, I'll also add the book that has the lowest average rating, which is The Devil's Name is George: Confessions of a Public Education Teacher, which has an average rating of 2.67 but based on only 3 ratings.

Jerusalem by Alan Moore with a whopping 1280 pages.
What's the most recent book added to your TBR?The Carpet Makers. It won't stay long there because I borrowed it at the library, so it'll be one of my next reads. Highly recommended by friends and German fantasy.
Which book has been on it the longest?
Dragons of Autumn Twilight since Jan 1 2013 (when I joined GR). I don't think I can actually read it because it's my clue on how is ordered my TBR :p

Légendes. 0 ratings which isn't unexpected for a French book. I own it so maybe I should read it and add a rating !
Which book has the lowest rating?
Oh well, I just deleted a book from my TBR because of this question. Hmm, now the lowest rating (excluding not rated, not released) is for We Can Be Mended with an average of 3.01 with 773 ratings (it's the last Divergent short story, there are plenty of hate reviews for it).

Which book has been on it the longest?
From the books I added when I started my account (sep 2014) I think I have owned The Accidental Sorcerer by K.E. Mills the longest. But I have other books I have owned longer, I think, I just added them to my account later.
Which book has the least number of ratings?
Three books have only one rating:
- Last Minute & Vakantievrienden, probably because most people gave read the books separate
- Jachtseizoen, published by a small company so probably not many people own it
- A Concise History of Scotland from Day One to Day Two, I tried to read this book once and didn't get far, it is also self published so probably not many people own it.

Instructions: To sort your TBR, you'll need to go to your to-read shelf. Above your list (next to the search bar) there are some links for Batch Edit, Settings, Stats, and Print. We just want the Settings one so click that! Now you should see a list of columns. Checking the boxes will allow you to see more info about your to-read books.
In order to play along, you're going to need to put a check in the num ratings box, the rating box, the num pages box, and the date pub box. Hit the close button in the lower right-hand corner when you've done that.
Now you can sort and play along! Click on any of the column headers (like num pages or date pub, for example) to sort your list in ascending or descending order for that particular header.
