Pete's back in 25

Heh - this is what my first post of the 24 challenge said: "Every year I have grand plans, every year I fail to live up to them. As ever the TBR grows - more this year it seems. So I'll try and reduce it." and I am not going to change a word for this challenge.

This post left blank to fill in once I know what I'm doing - so may just be left blank then...

The one constant in an ever-changing world is that the TBR continues to grow. Enjoy your 2025 reading!

Same! The pile of books to be read never seems to diminish - but do we really want it to?!
Happy reading in 2025.

Have a year of great reading, no matter how high that TBR gets.

Enjoy your reading in 2025 and ignore how high Mt TBR is! Good to see you back!

My TBR may tumble over and kill me one day. I like the simple setup

Thanks all

my first task in 2025 is to read all the books I get for Xmas and my birthday (which is the begining of Jan) - so that's always the fun part of the challenge.

I have, this month, had a bit of a clear out and assigned some books to a pile I call "I'd like to read but now sadly realise I will probably never get round to because life is too short and even if I read 100 books a year it's going to take me ten years of buying no books to even contemplate it." This has reduced my TBR, a little. Anyway onwards and upwards for 25!

Good reading in 2025. Hope you get a lot of books for Christmas.

>21 psutto: - I did this earlier in the year for all the same reasons.

I've been doing a similar clean out too. I'm finding some have been on the TBR pile so long I no longer have any interest in them. Others I at least skim before adding to the used bookstore bag or dropping off at a Little Free Library. Even when I meet my 50 books/year goal, the TBR grows faster. Good luck!
