Okay, so it’s bad. With the closing of Borders and my previous splurges, there are a lot of books on my shelf that I haven’t read. Forty-two, to be precise, with two in the mail. And that’s disregarding the nonfiction. I am a bad, bad Kelly.
But I’ve finished rereading Megan Whalen Turner’s excellent series about Eugenides, so now I’m ready to get started chipping away at my TBR list. Some of the titles have been there a long time.
I read a modest estimate of a dozen books a month, sometimes more but not very often less. With three full months left to the year, excluding September, which is almost halfway gone already, I should be able to reduce the forty-odd books by thirty-six. But let’s be cautious and call it thirty.
So that’s my goal. I’m not saying that I won’t add some new titles to the TBR list, but I am saying that I’ll read thirty of them before the end of the year.
That’s reasonable, don’t you think?
See list below.
