They really do need some categorising. I don't own that many ARCs anyway so that won't be that much of a problem.<br /><br />My favourite bookstore has gone bankrupt too..

As soon as a book comes in my house, I scan it. The only thing you can't do it for is ARCs.<br /><br />Me too. Now there's one book store within a 50 mile radius of me, and all they carry is the popular stuff. Yay for Book Depository. I wish there were some indie stores in my area, but they disappeared a long time ago. leeanna chttp://twitter.com/leaflettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448388663423032450.post-37216942610664264172012-05-11T01:03:47.345+02:002012-05-11T01:03:47.345+02:00Thanks Leeanna!

I use Goodreads to keep track of everything, and my "to-read" shelf has over a thousand books. That count isn't entirely accurate, though, because I can't keep track exactly the way I would like. I'd still put it in the high hundreds though :( I stocked up like crazy when bookstores by me were going out of business. I tend to buy books that I've read in the past and liked, but maybe haven't read since loading everything into Goodreads. leeanna chttp://twitter.com/leaflettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448388663423032450.post-37120152213195069332012-05-09T22:42:02.197+02:002012-05-09T22:42:02.197+02:00Hehe, thanks Linny!

I've been working on getting it down, and don't plan on purchasing too many books in the near future. Glad to see you're going to work on reducing the hill!

It's sitting at 680 right now, and just refuses to go down! I'm definitely firmly in "mountain" territory. I'm participating in Operation: TBR Reduction, which has the goal of decreasing the pile every month (the challenge just started, so we'll see how successful I am!).
