Over the weekend I built my annual Mt. TBR (to be read) and I have some exciting news! For the first time since I started documenting this in 2008
the number of books actually decreased!! I did some culling in January so that helped. Here’s my new Mt. TBR
This was a major undertaking and I did it all, construction and deconstruction, in about 9 hours time. It was quite a workout. Because of that I decided to do another major weeding and that took another day, but well worth it since I pulled another 94 books to donate. I’ll do more by the numbers stuff next week after the quiz.
Part One – Guess how many books are in Mt. TBR. I’ll base points on how close you come on relation to others guessing. If you come within 20 I’ll give you a 50 point bonus!
Part Two – These are books I pulled from the pile to give away and they are all brand new. Nothing wrong with them just trying to be realistic about my reading.
Tell me what the titles are and tell me if you’d like any of them to added to YOUR Mt. TBR. I love to share books so I hope you’ll find at least one you’d like to read. 10 points for every title and I don’t even really care if you want to do some googling to figure out what they are. I do want them in your hands after all!
Good luck!
I have no idea. But your pile is staggering. I have 16 and am totally overwhelmed!
I’d love to be around 100 in a few years 🙂
I’m guessing 647 books. I don’t need to add any more to my own pile, but thanks for making me feel better about my “mountain”.😊
I aim to make you all feel better 🙂 20 points for the 647 guess!
I’m going to guess 760 books. I recognize a few of the covers but the only title I’m sure of is Corked.
I need to get back to culling books – last year, I had a goal of getting rid of 10 a week but didn’t stick with it as long as I should have.
I can’t even imagine how many you have with all of the books you receive from publishers! 40 for your guess and 10 for Corked 🙂
I’ll go up to 1000
That will earn you 30 points!
Way to go on making the number decrease! 840?

Wow, I’m not figuring out many of these today.
60 + 50 bonus for the 840 guess. Very impressive! My husband wanted to know if you counted them all 🙂 And 30 for the titles. 140 points!
I didn’t count, but I did go back to last year’s post and see what number you had then …
I’m impressed the pile is smaller than last year, but still speechless!
I am very excited that I’m; finally getting it to shrink 🙂
I have 2 rooms full of books, so I don’t need any more right now. We’re moving in a few months to a house that’s much smaller so I have to go through mine and figure out which ones I want to keep and which ones I want to give away. I have 2 rooms full so I’m not looking forward to it.
It’s major undertaking for sure, good luck! I find it easier to give away the ones I’ve read.
Part One – my answer is 641 (and to think that I have 6 times that amount…approx…please don’t judge 😉 )
Part Two – starting at top row left with 1 and then second row left with 7
