Let's keep each other on track. <br /><br />I love that you transfer your books back to the ARC pile at work. Unfortunately, I work in a tiny bookstore where there are only three booksellers and the other two are currently in the middle of really big university research projects and only work about one day each. They're not usually interested in reading extra books and I don't blame them. I do tend to farm out my reading as much as I can though.

You could start your own library. I love your...Wow! You could start your own library. I love your guidelines, and using a lending library is a terrific idea. Same with abandoning books. I think I only started doing that once I became a mum, and my reading time became more limited so I didn't want to waste it on a book I've not gotten into. I do give it a fair go—it's rare for me to abandon a book until I've read at least 1/3 of it. (One notable exception springs to mind ...) Anyway, good luck with your self-imposed reading challenge! Looking forward to hearing how it goes ...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05313139983430962088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156528823270353530.post-67829801809460977772015-01-23T17:03:05.001+08:002015-01-23T17:03:05.001+08:00Good luck with that Elimy, my TBR list is similar ...Good luck with that Elimy, my TBR list is similar :)shelleyrae @ book'd outhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03888977858862922561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156528823270353530.post-24159442077655490582015-01-23T12:15:51.834+08:002015-01-23T12:15:51.834+08:00I'm in the middle of the same issues.

According to my Good Reads account, I have over 50 books to knuckle down and get read (nothing compared to your pile mind you), of which I've made a list to mark off one-by-one. As much as I've told myself not to read anything else until these are done, three books have already squeezed ahead of this list. Eventually I'll compress it down to nothing, but I wish you luck with your own piles :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
