Ye Grande Olde TBR(e) Challenge Update
I started December with 226 unread books sitting around my house. And I ended with … *drumroll* …195! End of the semester doesn’t always mean great things for my reading, but I managed to plow through a few books over the holidays. I also took a second big box of ex-TBR books in to the used book store, so my TBR is under 200 for the first time in a LOOOONG time. Like, October of 2008 long time. I know I was terrible about blogging, but I’m really hoping I can catch up on some of my outstanding reviews in the next few weeks.
…anyways, let’s take a look at the breakdown:
Neutral books – Read, but don’t affect the TBR pile
| Audiobooks
– The Bone Clocks by David Mitchell – Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard |
 |
 |
| Read But Not Owned (Books)
– My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories ed. by Stephanie Perkins – Carry On by Rainbow Rowell |
 |
 |
| E-Books
– Penric’s Demon by Lois McMaster Bujold |
 |
|
| Re-Reads
– Outlander by Diana Gabaldon |
 |
|
Changes to the TBR pile
| Read from my TBR pile (huzzah!)
– Magic Under Glass by Jaclyn Dolamore |
 |
| Other removals from the TBR pile (um… huzzah?)
– I finished my TBR purge that I started in November. I’m not going to list all of them here, but you can find them on my TBR page, and there were 38 of them. Good job me! |
