What does a girl who has an endless TBR pile of books need? Why, another book to tell her of 1,000 more titles she must read!
May I live a loooong, bookish life. 😉
Hey everyone, I made a list on Listchalleges.com for the fun of it. Check it out and see how many "bookish" books you've actually read.

Doing social media posts at work for some of our favorite reads of the past year. Here are mine! (Only the faced-out books above the shelves.)

An interesting mix on this list. I‘ve read 99/500, have another 40-50 on my shelves waiting to be read, and another 40-50 I‘d like to get around to at some point.

Nov 17 Prompt: Books! I‘m so very grateful to have books and for my love of reading. What are you currently reading? I‘m listening on Mr. Penumbra‘s 24-Hour Bookstore. How fun would it be to have a secret library?
Gratitude
1. Books and more books
2. Audiobooks
3. Ebooks
4. Libraries
5. Friends who love to read
6. Book bags to carry all my books
7. Bookmarks
8. Thank you to all the books I‘ve read in my life
Reorganized and whittled down my TBR books this weekend while social distancing. It‘s nice to have time to do some work in the house, but I sure do miss my social time! Hope you Littens are finding things to do that feed your soul!

Saw @Librarybelle post her results for this list so I had to try it myself! Pretty pleased, especially with how many I've read in the last 2 years or so. I feel like I'm actually chipping away at my TBR!

The previous list prompted me to try this other one, and it was interesting. I‘ve worked as a bookseller off and on for the last 20 years; I have a BA in English and an MA in Humanities - and I‘ve never heard of half of these titles.

Not the list I expected, kind of a weird assortment. Quite a few are books I started and have yet to finish, or they‘re already on my shelves or TBR. And there are some you couldn‘t pay me to read.

Thoughts?
A great book to pick up and flick through... I tend to get stuck in a genre so I'm hoping this will guide my reading for years to come!
I have all this to read and or listen to before Dec 1 so that I can finish 4 reading challenges. I think I can do it. I‘m gonna try any way.
#weeklyforcast but for the month. @Cinfhen
Here are some of my favorite pretty books from the new shelf arrangement.
Well, the room is still very much in transition, but I did manage to get the bookshelves squared away! Here‘s the NRYB shelf.
Some major rearranging and cataloguing is in the works. I‘ll title this photo “Before” and hope for the best! 😳🤞
I am at peace. Reading about books that I should be reading in a home that got covered into cozy bookshop in #GreenvilleSC #JoesPlace #bliss
I got all caught up, but then fell behind again on #30junebooks. 🤦🏼♀️
Day 6: bookworm problems. All my TBR stacks all over! I do have a plan (sort of) to get through all the stacks. It‘s just that the stacks seem to be never-ending because I keep ordering new ones despite all the ones I already have that I need to read. And then the fact that I stay up a bit too late reading, so I drink enormous amounts of coffee! 😂
It‘s a vicious cycle.
bailedThis bail is all on me. The book is fine, but it's a reference book, like reading the encyclopedia or a dictionary. I got up to the letter G and had to call it a day. I hope to come back to it some time in the future.
Sitting at B&N contemplating buying this book which will likely cause anxiety in my life as I realize that I may not read all of these. I was hoping to have read 100 plus but I‘ve only read 92/1000! Sigh. To buy or not to buy that is the question. Any advise? #booklover #bibliophile #reading
Half Price Books is having a huge book sale, and I get to go! So excited. 😍 Now time to get some sleep so I'm rested and ready for a big day of trying not to buy all the books I see. 😉
pickI finally got through this book. I tabbed some books I want to eventually read. 👍😀
I have lots of books to read and three papers to write, but I still loaded up on library books today. You know how it is.
Wow, I can‘t believe how many followers I have now! Thankful for how fun and supportive the Litsy community is. I love talking about books with all of you!
Finally, the table is finished! (3 coats of chalkboard paint, 24 hrs. to dry between coats) Also pictured is my husband‘s gift to me for International Book Giving Day yesterday.

#anewchapter #motivation
A book like this motivates me to want to read even more.
Late Christmas present from my parents! I‘ve already got 17 down only 83 more to go! #100essentialbooks #scratchoff #christmaspresent #lotstoread
New Year's pre party!
#bookandwinepairing 📚 🍷 2016 Monchiero Carbone Langhe Nebbiolo Doc Sire. This wine is so good! And it pairs well with a beef and black bean chili 😉
Christmas book haul! The political books are all from my Republican uncle who voted Democrat for the first time in his life in the midterms!
Another book I had been longing for. Santa was kind this year.
My Christmas gift to myself. As I left BJ‘s Wholesale, the receipt checker told me he hoped I didn‘t die before I finished this book.
So, here‘s to living long enough to work through it! 😬
Spontaneous gifts from My husband, just because #readingaddiction #enabler #1000bookstoreadbeforeyoudie #jamesmustich
I've been going through a few pages of this one every night placing tabs on the books I want to check out. So far I've made it to the B's. It's going to take awhile. I may "die" before I'm done. ?? #TBR
Having lots of fun with this book. Some interesting choices in here. I‘m doing a little planning for 2019.
This book means #bizness . #NoFemmeber
I would be very curious to see this list! 📚📚📚📚 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/review/jim-mustich-podcast?spklr=1903312573%7C138...
I love the library!
pickThe thing I liked about this tome was that he was all over the map with genres, fiction and nonfiction. There were a lot of titles that I haven‘t seen referenced in a book like this before, so that was a treat. Not a rehash of anybody else‘s list. Definitely unique. Mount TBR continues to grow!
