I am having some issues right now with tackling my TBR list. I just keep adding books to it! I need to figure out a system to make me feel as though I am accomplishing something. I am going to try and group them here by category and then cross them out as I finish them.

Oh fellow Mainer…we have something else in common. My TBR list is out of control. I have my library cataloged on LibraryThing, and physically own almost 4000 books (combining the entire family). My TBR list includes only those I really want to read, but EVERY DAY, I add at least 5 more to the list.
I finally got a handle by forcing myself to join a few challenges so I could make a dent. I’m thinking of starting a challenge that will cover only those books we already own. But just think, some people spend their time and money on shoes, and all they have at the end of the day is sore feet!
