I am feeling worried, intimidated but also sort of disgustingly gloatingly smug ( I hardly ever had any books I wanted to read through my teens) about my recent evaluation of my TBR pile. It got so bad I had to fill myself with courage and tried to alphabetize it. Sort of, it did not quite fit the available bookcase shelves, yeah, shelves, unnamed number of shelves even after some ruthless pruning ( ruthless meaning quitting on 8 books, and changing my mind back already on two), so it´s sort of alphabetical but considering it has to fit, so it´s all vertical, horizontal and diagonal to make it fit. But I know where each letter is, more or less. I thought to challenge myself with an A-Z challenge strictly from the TBR pile, but I am not that bad, there were a couple letters absent. BTW any recommendations for something special by an author starting with the letter Y?
I should have taken the opportunity for scientific measurements of the height of each pile, but still I think the pile for M managed to win over the pile for C ( with pike P a more distant third) easily.
Is any of you on goodreads? I have been checking it out, but refused to give them acess to my gmail adressbook on me-not-spammer principle. It is interesting, but honestly their ranking system just does not have enough phase space for all levels of love-hate.....
