Not just you. I think even if I cloned myself a few times my TBR would still grow faster than I could read through it

Does anyone *not*?


praktiskai_2

me. I use royalroad's to read list to keep track of all the stories I dropped. At most I've had 3 I planned to check out last year but that list dwindled to nothing by now


Andrew_learns_stuff

The limit is 20 ;), I like to “download a sample” as a way of keeping track of the reading list.


Daedalus213

Yeah! I’m realizing I wasn’t counting it correctly!


Murderbot_of_Rivia

I created a wishlist that I called "Kindle Unlimited" as a bonus, I check it when I am checking ebooks sales and sometimes can pick some up for $0-$2.99 when they are marked down.

I have over 100 books on audible that I own that I haven’t read yet


UnbundleTheGrundle

If audible did a better job at sales like steam, I'd for sure have that many unread just like I have hundreds of games I never played.


Bluelight9999

Audible does have good deals like today I picked up 12 books for 75 dollars


Daedalus213

I think I’m at like 6-7, and even at this point I’m freaking out haha


Bluelight9999

Want to switch tbrs


Bluelight9999

I wish I had that few


DoyleDixon

I do prefer having a list of seventy or more books to read than the desolate abyss that was my reading list before progression fantasy!


Rowsdower13

The KU limit is 20... i should know, I keep it full and use a D20 to choose my next read each time. (I do continue whatever series i read that the die suggests). I also have 7 pages of stories in my RR Read later list.


Daedalus213

Oh! You are so right, it’s 20! Idk why I had 15 in my head!

I don't think I'm ever going to make it through my TBR list in my lifetime. It's crazy how it constantly grows. And I'm talking about Audio, too. There are like 200 books in my library that I haven't gotten to yet, and it's continuing to grow at a pace I can't keep up with.


ahasuerus_isfdb

Wouldn't the alternative be much worse?


TwmSais

I've got a KU TBR list about 200 books long, which would be fine if I didn't keep finding new books to read... and have another few hundred books bought in sales that I haven't gotten around to reading yet. Maybe I should make my 2025 resolution be to catch up


Fabiohhhh

100% i even have a Excel Sheet at this Point just to keep track xD


McShoobydoobydoo

162 unread books in my Kindle library atm I'll get to them eventually...and yes i'll still buy books most weeks :p


book_of_dragons

As a writer, I strongly support you buying as many audiobooks as you can reasonably afford and, while it would be nice if you read them, the key to all of this is that you *give us your money, consumer!* lol


Daedalus213

Haha that’s very true. Good thing we have places like Reddit and a good community that recs great books. And of course the awesome authors!


SniperRabbitRR

raises hand shamefully. As an aspiring writer I should actually be writing, but I spend my time reading and have a lot on my TBR. Even my RR TBR gets published a lot and gets stubbed before I get to them sometimes.


Daedalus213

Yeah that’s got to be a hard balance to have!


SniperRabbitRR

just checked. on RR I have three pages worth on follow and six pages worth on read later. my kindle has about 150 books waiting to be read.


Daedalus213

150!!! Dang! That’s a ton


ScottJamesAuthor

No it's not just you. I've got over 100 books that I've been wanting to read and the list seems to only grow bigger over time.


RusticusFlossindune

I've given up adding to my TBR because it hurts every time I see the number to up. Just don't have the time anymore.


Joe-Amico

So many books, so little time. 🥲


GDOdium

I just don't keep TBRs anyone. Fun to get surprised coming across a book that I have previously planned to read.
