Operation: TBR Reduction #1

 

Last week I decided to join Stephanie on this new feature of her. I have a hard time reading everything that I’ve bought on the last few years and now seams like a good time to read more of some great series that I keep hearing great things about and since I bought didn’t even touched. Plus a huge list from Netgalley.

The Details:
*Everyone is invited to participate. Bloggers can grab my button and make a post declaring yourself part of the project. Non-bloggers can leave comments on update posts or even have a shelf on GoodReads or another book networking site for books read for the Operation:TBR Reduction.
*I will start May 1st. If you decide to participate it is not required that you do so every month. While I am deadly serious about this, it doesn’t have to be for you!
*Sign up using the linky below and I’ll come and cheer you on.
*To be clear this is not a book buying ban.

How I’m going to keep things fair:

Overall:

Not a complete fail, since I read a few more NetGalley books than expected last month for a challenge. Only one add is good.

Overall:

These were all ebooks and they sound really good. This week I bought way too much, but mostly used some gift cards from Easter. Mostly can be used for the debut challenge.

• 60 books on this pile so far.

My list sound crazy right? And this week I’m actually happy with the results because 4 books that I finished were bought last year and I made a huge dent on the TBR pile, but the authors keep releasing great books. That’s a total bummer.
