Too many books! | Caroline Feller Bauer

As I‘m working towards trying to read more books off my physical shelves this year before buying more books. I‘m doing the #24in2024 challenge this year. I made a list for fiction & nonfiction since I read a lot of nonfiction. Looking forward to trying to get through some books on my shelves

Jas16 Great list. Some books I really loved on it. 3mo

Not really celebrating the holidays this year, but am thinking about the new year. Pictured here: my physical TBR. Suffice to say, I didn‘t very well with #PricePerPage in 2021!

What‘s currently irking me is my need to finish my current reads before the calendar flips. This arbitrary, self-imposed rule has me wondering what I can start and finish in the next 5 days.

DGRachel I do the same thing at the end of the year! Why is it so important to my brain that I have a “clean slate” at midnight on January 1st? 😭😭😭 2y

#WondrousWednesday

1. I‘d say at least ten at the moment.
2. I wish I could read all the books in a year (or at least 200).
3. I would say I almost always buy Kris Radish when she releases a book.
4. Waking up and feeling a bit better.

1. I am not sure supports is the right word as there is eye rolling and head shaking when books make it in to the cart. But I don‘t get golf so....

2. My daughter, dad, one of my brothers and I share books with all of them.

3. The Count of Monte Cristo...maybe next year‘s #ChunsterChallenge

Thanks for #WondrousWednesday. I needed to pass a little time before leaving to get my first vaccine. Weird to be so excited to get a shot! 😁

TheSpineView Glad to know I am not the only one that gets eye rolls. Just glad he has no idea how many ebooks and audio books I own. He might do more than an eye roll! 🤑🤯🤫🤫🤫 3y
Deblovestoread @TheSpineView Same! I also proudly point out when the TBR bookcase has empty spots so he thinks progress is being made 😆 3y

#30DaysOfGratitude @jb72

Yay for bookish prompts! I'm currently reading:
-Northanger Abbey with the #PemberLittens
-Britt-Marie Was Here
-A Girl's Best Friend by Liz Young
-Dear Enemy by Jean Webster
-Calypso by David Sedaris

I'm grateful for:

-A grandmother who sparked my love of reading

-Parents who indulged my habit (e.g. Child Me allowed to read through meals, read through church...)

-Bookish best friends who share my literary obsessions

jb72 Bookish friends are the best! They encourage the habit! 3y

jb72 That‘s just wrong! Books are precious and a vital resource to living a full life in my opinion. 5y
TheLibrarian I just told my husband it‘s a good thing we moved out of our apartment 😂 5y
SleepyDragon I watched an episode of Hoarders that involved an enormous collection of books. They had to throw out half of them because of mold, book lice, etc. It was actually making them sick and was also a fire hazard. It was an elderly couple, and the woman had almost died because she had a stroke and the paramedics had a hard time getting to their bedroom in the back and getting her into the ambulance. It's possible to have too much of a good thing. 5y

Have you ever been told you own too many books? 😃
By who? 😃
What did you tell them? 😃

blank My husband tells me this all the time and I don't even respond. I'm not going to dignify that nonsense with a response. 😋 5y
BeansPage @laurenslibrary haha I have a similar response to my husband when he tells me I own too many books because mine are now on the floor. I tell him that if he bought me more bookshelves maybe this wouldn't be a problem 😂😂😂 5y
ShananigansReads The last time I moved my brother threatened to throw out the next box he saw that said books. There was one left so I crossed out books and labeled it “Important Stuff”. That gave everyone a laugh. 5y

I've never been troubled by the amount of books on my Goodreads TBR shelf before, but suddenly today I was overcome by a need to digitally declutter.
I started by removing previews and books I'll never read from my ereader, and now I want to go through my Goodreads TBR and remove the books that I have lost interest in, know I won't read, etc.
Then I might do the same for my physical bookshelves!
I guess the spring cleaning bug has finally got me!

KimmyM UPDATE: I got it down to 924. Progress. I'm going to spend more time on it this weekend. 6y

MicheleinPhilly Your reasons are not unknown. It‘s because you‘re a bookworm and you have no control when it comes to the “Buy with 1-Click” button. My name is Michele and I also suffer from this affliction. 6y

As a general rule I will no longer be posting Book Mail or Book Haul posts on Litsy. (I have two very recent purchases I will post about later today, though.) With my new BookTube channel, I simply don‘t have the time. I will continue to post reviews, blurbs, and quotes on Litsy though. So here is my October book haul video where I talk about each new book at some length and read the opening line or paragraph.

I think I need to stop buying books retail and going to the library,for a while. Want to rearrange the hoard of books I have ,feeling like it‘s a puzzle and when I take it all apart it will not fit back together.Still looking for bookcases. Giving myself the OK to buy at rummage and seasonal book sales, don‘t want to miss a treasure! Of course ,some in the stash if I read them I don‘t intend to keep them.Any thoughts Littens?

ValerieAndBooks I have those two Book Lust books too 😊. I know there is a newer one (tagged at end). I love my library, but for me it‘s hard to plan my reading around whenever they have the books I want available. I get a lot of my TBRs used and when I weed through it occasionally, don‘t feel too bad because I know I didn‘t spend too much. Even if authors don‘t make much money from me, at least the charities do! 6y
Leftcoastzen @ValerieAndBooks I get mad at myself when I splurge on the hardcover and don‘t get around to it till it‘s in paperback. 🙄But I do a lot of my buying at thrifts and used book sales.Often trading for others or I donate some back.Also have friend who can‘t get out to buy books and has a small budget ,I have a list I work on for her.The randomness of what I find is often more pleasurable than a new book anyway.
