This TBR Must Be Tackled! Goals for my 697 Strong TBR | Books and Bargains

[@ameliabarlowbooks]

admire you so much for these goals, looking forward to cheering you on! 📚📚📚

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you so much!!

[@OliviasCatastrophe]

You can absolutely do this! And I really like the sound of the rules you've got going and then being able to descale a bit more if you possibly can. And I like the sound of you really thinking about why you're keeping a book when you read it. I also try my best to really think about a book when I finish it and whether or not I truly want to keep it.

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you! Yeah that's what I really want to do, is to let more books go out into the world. Im not letting go of my rainbow shelves though :)

[@jhodieking6172]

Totally resonate with the Christmas book thing! Ive got 7 that ive saved for November!

[@booksandbargains]

I love Christmas books!

[@juliehughes1258]

Yes, it's a lot of books, but that just means you have more choices. Just grab one and dig in. Please don't let this cause anxiety, fear, terror, etc. Just know you'll enjoy reading these lovely books for a long time to come. I can relate to chronic illness/pain and using my Kindle when I'm having a flare up. I don't like wrangling a (possibly) heavy and large physical book when my back is killing me. I love that you both have such reasonable plans and goals. I'm in awe of your number crunching, book buying rules, and life balance skills. You are in control, and you've got this! 📖

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you so much!! By looking more long term I am not feeling too worried, Its not having the large TBR thats the biggest problem, its the moving house in the future thats the biggest motivator! Were a month in and im still really excited by the project :)

[@katherine_and_cats]

Good luck! Sounds like a great plan. And having the goal of buying a house is a great incentive to stick to it!

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you 🙂‍↔️

I had to pause and comment now at 1:17 because my sister got me that same heart shelf charm/ornament you have hanging there!

[@booksandbargains]

I forget all the little trinkets that I have on my shelves but it wouldn't be the same without them :)

[@jamieinbookland8013]

Good luck! I’m gonna be so invested on how this goes and the balancing of books and you’ll smash the other goals too!

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you! There should be a monthly balance video 🥰

[@CharlieBrookReads]

📚 Having goals is always a good thing. Just be gentle on yourself ❤

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you I will do :)

[@michelle.planteachread.413]

Wow! These are some amazing, fun goals. Looking forward to the ride.📚

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you :)

[@jop5547]

This sounds like a great plan. I reckon you can definitely do it x 📚

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you 😘

[@ravensandblots]

Just so you know- the how to train your dragon has a fantastic audiobook with David Tennant narrating. 😊

[@booksandbargains]

Ooo thank you

[@jhodieking6172]

Excellent 5yr plan. Huge incentive to save x

[@booksandbargains]

Absolutely!!

[@laurenab]

The Ruth Ware books are good, though they all have the same formula... isolated closed circle mystery, unlikeable characters, lots of secrets. One by one was definitely the best of them.

[@booksandbargains]

Ooo I’ve now read one by one and really enjoyed it!

[@jenniferlovesbooks]

Mexican Gothic would be a great pick for spooky season 📚

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you I’ll move it to the spooky shelf 😀

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

You’ve got this! ☺️💛

[@emmastinylibrary]

Love this, I wish you luck in your quest! Whenever I put myself on a book buying ban I seem to find myself in a bookshop or charity shop and can't resist. It's as though I think it will be my only chance in life to buy those particular books 🤣

[@booksandbargains]

Yeah I’m EXACTLY the same!! Which is why I think this slow and steady process might actually work and if I do go on a ban it will be shorter

[@emmastinylibrary]

@@booksandbargains do you ever look at your TBR and wonder why you wanted to read some of them? I love to unhaul from my TBR, it clears it a bit 🤣

[@booksandbargains]

Yeah but this time I thought yeah I want to read all of these!

[@andthemoonlovesme1166]

I am 100% right there with you. My StoryGraph says I’m at 487 unread books. I am a very slow reader because my life is just super busy, so this number is wild for me. I also have one whole shelf devoted to Christmas because I love them SO much 😊

[@booksandbargains]

I’m so glad to have other Christmas lovers!!!! Feel free to join in with the shelf reduction ❤️‍🩹

Wow! I enjoyed this so much, it's brilliant to see everything in one place. If you'd ever like to join together in a project to tackle our TBRs I'd love to partner up! x

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you so much! I am not sure what kind of direction my channel is going to go in, im having some health issues at the moment and it has slipped down the priorities list but feel free to send me a message maybe on instagram with any ideas :)

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

Earthlings isn’t historical - it needs to be shelved under ‘WTF?!’ 😂

[@booksandbargains]

Yeah that was just kind of … shoved it somewhere! I might pack that to take with me!

[@katrinamuritala3207]

I’ve been working on mine I have 10 books left to read took me 3 years I’m not buying books just reason my phone mainly but have a 100 on there

[@booksandbargains]

Oh wow that’s a pretty amazing TBR! I’m such a mood reader that I don’t think 19 would be for me!
