BINGO R4 | Questions & Discussion

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Yeah, like a TBR pile less than 600 is a goal never to be achieved.

[★Meghan★]

Haha...I think if my TBR pile gets less than 1000 will be a miracle.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

Mine's now topped the 1700 mark, most of which I own.

And yes Zaanodes, you need a calculator to work it out :D

[AH]

Mine's over 1000 too. For every book I read, I add 5 to the TBR.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL. I know exactly what you mean ;)

[Lis]

Yay, I feel so much better now... My TBR pile is only approaching the 500 mark... It's a baby pile in comparison!

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL, oh I remember those carefree days ......

[★Meghan★]

Mine changed so fast I don't even remember the 500 mark... :)

Sandra: I also own most of mine. And I don't read anywhere near fast enough.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

At least we're never stumped for a book for bingo ;)

[★Meghan★]

Haha yes that hasn't been an issue at all!

[D.G.]

My TBR is around 200 books but those are only books I have in my hands (meaning I own them or took them out from the library.) Books that I'm planning to get from the library or books from series I'm reading are not in there, LOL!

[★Meghan★]

Yeah when I say I own most of mine...it means I probably own at least 90% of them.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

I own 80% of my tbr pile. Books I want to read that I don't own are on my wishlist, so easy to calculate :)

LOL! Me too!

Sandra wrote: "LOL, oh I remember those carefree days ......"

Right?!

I own 100% of my TBR list here @ GR. I don't add it as TBR until I have it. I actually need to go through my wishlist again here soon b/c I know I now own some that are still hangin' out on that list.

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

That would be leaving me open to double buying. First thing I do when I buy something is remove it from the wishlist. Just saying .....

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LOL! Very, Very true! In fact, I've done that once or twice.

[Judithe, Soap Operas never end....]

I do that, too....they make a nice orderly progression...TBR=>Ordered=>Owned (skip step 2 for e-books)...knock on wood...no non-deliberate double buys, yet.

[Regina]

I am pacing already and waiting for the next shelf announcement, lol!

[AH]

And I need to finish my book already.

[Regina]

Are you not liking it?

[AH]

Liking it, just no time. Plus we are having an unexpected heat wave and it's super hot here. 26C is about 82F or so --> never happens here in March, so we are outside frolicking, lol.

[Regina]

We are having the same in Chicago. It is crazy.

[D.G.]

Me too!!!

[★Meghan★]

Ugh you all are making me jealous! I am already 3 books behind due to absolutely not enough time. I am hoping to catch up here in the next week.

[Steph, Serious series addict]

I try to stay on top of it, Judithe, and move them over as I've bought them. But, some don't make it over quick enough. Though I've gotten better about double-checking before buying b/c of past double purchases.

No... too early to pace. LOL! Soon!

Enjoy that great weather, AH & Regina. I'd much rather unexpected nice weather vs. unexp bad weather. :D

Hope you can get to your books soon, Meghan. Stinks when RL doesn't allow for enough book-time.

[Alyssa]

*looks around* Hmm... For some reason I thought there would be more people pacing.

[Regina]

Is it time for the announcement yet? :D

[Leah]

You aren't alone in your pacing! I was pacing silently.. sneaky pacing!

[Lis]

Shelf. Shelf just get a couple early ones in...

[Sandra, Kindle Operator Licence Required]

LOL

So that's why it looked like someone was following Steph around. You were sneaky-pacing-ninja-stalking her! :-D

[Leah]

Well, I gotta make use of my ninja skills somewhere and since reading is my top priority, it just made sense to use em here!

[★Meghan★]

I only pace when I am at work... or if I am off for the whole day. I am finishing some books that I am behind on for this though.

[D.G.]

Shelf, Shelf!

Only 12 hrs. till the announcement!!! What will I do till then?

(Not the laundry, not the laundry.)

[Vi]

I have to clean :( :( Somebody save meeee

[Valerie ~ Val Hall ~]

Clean your TBR pile?

[Zaanodes]

...so....ahem......I see an early shelf announcement in the near future...

[Vi]

Um, clean the house - though I do have to clean up GR and update FictFact. Procrastination..

[Zaanodes]

Well, darn. That didn't work.

Steph is probably in bed by now. So...9 1/2?? hours to go??

What to do? What to do?

[Vi]

Steph's 1 hour ahead of me and I've seen her post like 7 am my time I think. SO yeah, anywhere between 6-8 hours.

[Lis]

shelf! shelf! Shelf! Shelf! Shelf! SHelf! SHelf! SHElf! SHElf! SHElf! SHELf! SHELf! SHELF! SHELF!

[Leah]

LOL I like the progression from shelf whisper to SHELF YELL!!

[★Meghan★]

I have been silently stalking for about 2 ½ hours. :) Not that I need a new one. I am already behind.

[Regina]

So is it annoying to ask again .... What time is it in Japan? :D

[Vivian]

Hehe, it makes me feel so much better when I come to this thread and find that people have been pacing anxiously for hours! It's been Sunday for hours now...

[Steph, Serious series addict]

LMAO! Now I need ninja protection? >;)

Your shelf is he-ya: PNR-UF (said in my best early morning southern butler voice) ... now it's back to bed for my old, tired bones. Enjoy and Happy Reading, Everyone!

[Regina]

THanks Steph!!

The shelf announcement is up now, so I suppose you're safe from the ninjas for another week ;)

[Vivian]

Thanks for getting your tired, old bones out of bed for our new shelf!!

[Regina]

Lol. Hope you were able to sleep again. :)
