My kindle doesn't have any unread books on it right now and I don't have any ARC books (I only do the Blogging for Books program and it's a one book/one review system). I keep things very simple-a library trip once a week to get a handful of books and that's it :) But, if you're ok with having all of those book around, then don't change anything!

I usually just checked out from the library whatever I found from browsing. Since reading blogs and starting my own I have over 300 books and overflowing shelves and I still browse the bookstore at least once a week and go crazy over the Nook and Kindle deal posts. Then I just feel anxious/guilty that I will never be able to read them all... I've been trying to do better but when I see some really awesome books on the bargain tables (like Fangirl last week!), I just can't help myself!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10976845895648044614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-54967598291678999312014-09-14T16:48:04.462+01:002014-09-14T16:48:04.462+01:00Haha, at least I am not alone!

I couldn't even remember why I had bought half of them in the first place. I am going to go through my unread books again and see if I can get rid of 50 more. I am sure there are so many that I don't actually plan to read any more.<br /><br /><br />I think the most I have read in 1 year is about 250, but it has been cut down since I started blogging. Time I would have spent reading now gets spent on writing blog posts and things.

But I'm the same way. I have so many library books on my shelves and books on my Kindle, but I keep buying more books and checking out more books from the library without reading what I already have. I usually only buy the physical copy of a book after I've already read it or it's part of a series I love or a beloved author, so I don't have any physical books that I've bought and not read. But yeah, a lot of unread books. It's a good problem to have!! :) ~Pamyaescapefromrealityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200254719073248981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583004298603696672.post-35147421986219973002014-09-12T02:11:45.866+01:002014-09-12T02:11:45.866+01:00Bwahaha yes pretty much.

I've been doing way better this last year about bringing in new ones for review and buying new books (other than at book signings those I don't count since they're getting signed lol). But yeah the physical pile is over 1000. It's ridiculous. I like to think I'm just being prepared. You know. For some fall of society where books are no longer made. Or I can't buy them for whatever reason.
