How is it possible that the number is so high? For what it‘s worth, I‘m not actively reading all of these. It‘s just that I‘m stuck somewhere in the middle of them and am determined that they won‘t be a DNF or a bail. I mean, I was enjoying them. I just haven‘t picked them up in a while. I think I‘ll try to get that number down to 10 by the end of June. We‘ll see how that goes. #ReaderProblems #LongLiveTheTBR #TheStruggleIsReal

quietlycuriouskate I so relate to this! 3d
Bookwomble @quietlycuriouskate @slategreyskies Me, too! I've been right up there as well, and actively trying to reduce my number of CRs. Just bailed on one I realised I wasn't into, but not yet ready to DNF any others! I'm down to 12 CRs now. 3d
peanutnine Don't feel bad. My currently reading number is 28 🙈 The plight of a mood reader 2d

slategreyskies @quietlycuriouskate My non-reader friends don‘t get it, but it really is a thing for me. I have a stack of books next to where I sit in the living room. The stack starts on the floor, but it‘s so high I could put a coaster on top and have a place for my mug. 🤣 2d
slategreyskies @Bookwomble yes! I get this! Maybe, as I‘m actively working my way through the list, I‘ll find one I‘m not into that I can DNF as well. I suppose that it doesn‘t much matter how they make their way off my CR list… just that they do! 2d
Bookwomble @peanutnine I feel it! 😬 2d

My only dilemma this morning is which book to read first, since I‘ve got several that I‘ve checked out from the library, and I don‘t think I‘ll be able to finish them all before I need to return them.

If I can‘t decide, I‘ll just continue with the third book in this series. I‘m trying to get through as many of them as I can before they are removed from Audible‘s free section at the end of the month.

Lsmoore43 I would read them in order. Check out the ones you didn't finish again?? Maybe?? 2w

I have been all over the place picking a new read #thestruggleisreal 2/3 buddy reads are a struggle bus ( yes The Brothers Karamazov and The Golden Notebook I am talking about YOU!) Emma of 83rd Street is light and fluffy. I need something good but not too thought provoking, something compelling but fun. Here we go with the next in a series from a buddy read ( please forgive me TBR stacks in my house, it‘s a library read)

dabbe Ooh, Belgravia makes me think of Sherlock Holmes! 🤩 2mo
mcctrish That‘s what this is @dabbe retelling of Sherlock ❤️❤️ but he‘s a she 2mo
dabbe @mcctrish OMG! On the TBR! 🤩 2mo

Bklover Also he comes home and she doesn‘t ask him a single thing about his day. She has absolutely no interest in Rodney! 6mo
Aimeesue Sybil does know! I think he was with Rowena 😂 6mo
BarkingMadRead @Aimeesue that would be amazing #wifeswap 6mo
AnnR These characters aren't very likeable. My reaction to them is similar to the characters in many of Edith Wharton's novels. 6mo
Bklover @Aimeesue That would be perfect wouldn‘t it?!😆 6mo
Bookwormjillk @Aimeesue ha! Perfect! Sybil knows all. 6mo
dabbe @AnnR I so agree! I think I've mentioned more than once how these people make me think of the Gilded Age New York society snobs. Just living their elegantly rich but humdrum lives. 6mo

mrp27 Seriously!! This is why no one understands when I‘ll wear shorts with a sweater or uggs with shorts or something ridiculous like that to keep cool and warm at the same time. 7mo

Anyone else somewhat obsessively check the shipping status of book orders? I‘m currently waiting somewhat patiently for 2, including the tagged, to arrive.

Just a small haul from today's library book sale. I was trying to be good because I'm running out of space for books. #smallhaul #thestruggleisreal

When you‘re trying to do yoga to meet your goal to be healthier in 2022 but you keep getting distracted by all the books you haven‘t read yet. 😬🤷🏻‍♀️

Bookworm struggles: Stripping the bed after falling asleep reading and throwing your book into the washer with the sheets. Also washers do not like it when you throw books into them. They tend to get loud. Luckily it made noise right at the beginning of the cycle so all is well. #thestruggleisreal

EvieBee Oh no! I‘ve done this with my phone. 2y
Soubhiville 😢 oh no! 2y
Cortg Yikes! I've sent my phone through a wash cycle before. Ugh. Is it still readable?
