The textbooks I have to read. The picture books are quick. I have three books of any length that I'm reading seriously: Kraken, Alone of a Wide Sea and West Coast Journeys.

It's thirteen months of wishes. Given that I read nearly 600 books last year, I should done with 2010's wishes by 2012.

The Slowest Bookworm

Wow, that's a lot of books! I thought I was bad with about a years worth of reading on my shelves :)

Comment #6: Friday, February 4, 2011 at 11:01:06

Pussreboots

You can see why I'm focusing now on reading only what I really want to.

Hopping through. The TBR pile never seems to end. Too many good books. My Hop

I'm not buying books right now and I'm trying to pare down my books.

I also seem to be adding more to my wishlist than I'm reading each week. But it's a lot of fun, there are so many great books out there.

Pussreboots

Last summer I had three years of wishes on my list. Now I'm down to thirteen months. I'm having lots of fun finally reading off the list.

Jenny

That's an impressive wishlist you have - 600? Hope you get to cut into it soon, it's important to enjoy what you're reading otherwise it becomes a chore. Have a great weekend!

Comment #12: Friday, February 4, 2011 at 11:11:20

Pussreboots

If I didn't add any new books to the list, I would be done with it in about eighteen months. It's not likely though that I'll stop adding books to the list.

Wow, you sound busy. Good luck with your degree.

Hopping by.

Thank you!

Christin

Hopping back - new follower here :-) I can sympathize with the huge tbr pile and wishlist - I think my to-read list on Goodreads is somewhere in the 900s now.

Hope you have a good weekend!

Comment #16: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 12:05:45

Pussreboots

Mine might be in the 900s if I keep adding books faster than I read them. Thank you for stopping by.

Brenda

Three library courses AND children young enough for picture books? Wow. Iron woman!

My tbr pile is insane as well. My husband got sick of piles all over the bedroom floor and bought me a bunch of bookshelves. I need more book shelves. Like one of your other commenters, I could stop buying books now and not run out of something to read for years.

Such an addiction.

Love your blog, btw. Thanks for stopping by mine.

Comment #18: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 12:08:20

Pussreboots

My husband has his own piles of books. I have stopped buying new books and I am slowing making headway through my TBR pile.

Comment #19: Friday, February, 4, 2011 at 18:25:10

Howard

Good answer! The answer on my book blog is a little embarassing; it‚s a book that‚s been sitting on my TBR pile for a year.

To my shame, I only opened the book because I remember it contained an Amazon gift card.

All the sordid details on my book blog.

Hop on over!

Comment #20: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 12:10:28

Pussreboots

You remind me of my husband. He keeps important things in his books too.

Comment #21: Friday, February, 4, 2011 at 18:41:38

Asher K. (Paranormal Indulgence)

Wow! That is indeed a ton of books!

Good luck getting through that thick reading pile. Have a wonderful weekend, be safe, and happy reading!

Comment #22: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 12:10:28

Pussreboots

Thanks. I'll manage a little at a time.

Comment #23: Friday, February, 4, 2011 at 19:28:50

Kah Woei

Wow, I don't know how you can keep 2-3 years TBR. :-)

Comment #24: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 12:18:29

Pussreboots

That's just the number of books I own that I haven't read divided by my normal reading speed. The amount used to be higher but I've read through a bunch of them. I've also donated books I know I'm not going to read.

RandomizeME

Ah, what a great problem - to have a big TBR pile :) It must be great knowing that a book is never too far away.

Here's my Book Blogger Hop: 2/4-2/7 post!

Comment #26: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 12:21:39

Pussreboots

Actually it's frustrating. I'd like to have fewer shelves and more room for other things.

Mia @ Girl about Books

Oh, I miss Picture books! I'm a new follower by the way ;)

Comment #28: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 12:23:49

Pussreboots

My library is my source for picture books. If you have a local library you could just find a stack and spend fifteen minutes reading some. You wouldn't even have to check them out! Thanks for stopping by.

Brooke Reviews

I have a ton of wishes on my GoodReads. I know that I'll never catch up, but at least I know that I'll always have something to read!

My textbooks are all about teaching/classroom management/teaching ESOL students. Some are fun, some not so much! :)

Thanks for visiting my blog!

Good luck with your classes.

Heather Lynn

Wow that is a very big wish list. I always yell at my self for adding new books to that pile. Right now I have about 60

Comment #32: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 12:51:21

Pussreboots

My list got so long because I didn't understand how to use the interlibrary loan system. Now that I do, I am reading the books off my list.

Just hopping by on the blog! Thanks for stopping by my site.

LOL!! your reading generalities reflect mine to a tee. Sometimes I wonder if I will ever get "caught" up!

Happy Reading!

Comment #36: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 12:54:32

Pussreboots

That's why I'm making the effort to specifically read books off my wishlist this year. I don't know if I'll ever get caught up but I want to at least get closer to catching up.

I wish the colleges around here had a library science degree. :( You have a bunch of different types to read so I hope you enjoy most of them, not sure if textbooks can be enjoyable..lol

My degree is completely online. They accept students from all over the world.

So many books, too little time!! My kids keep me in picture book land, too. I hope you are having a great weekend.

I like reading picture books with them.

Ms.Tiptress

Thanks for visiting my blog. Im interested to see how big your wishlist gets and the ensuing battle to occur.

Have fun!!

Comment #48: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 13:10:14

Pussreboots

I will try to remember to post updates on my blog. Thanks.

I empathize with you about your current reading of textbooks. When I was in library school, I squeezed in my pleasure reading for about 15 minutes before bed (which was all I could manage before passing out). Hope your classes are going well! :)

Comment #50: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 13:13:15

Pussreboots

I save my ten pages of Kraken for just before bed.

Shirley

Thank you for your recent visit to my blog, My Bookshelf. As a child, one of the things I wanted to be when I grew up was a librarian. It still has interest for me, either that or own a great bookstore or be an accomplished and published writer. I am working on the last dream.

Just for my information, what is MANGA?

Comment #54: Saturday, February 5, 2011 at 13:16:31

Pussreboots

Manga are Japanese serialized graphic novels. They come in all genres and for all age groups. A bunch of them are now translated into English and are loads of fun to read.

Comment #55: Saturday, February, 5, 2011 at 16:18:09 Chelle

Well, with a list like that you should be easy to buy gifts for Christmas!

Comment #56: Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 22:47:16

Pussreboots

You'd think. But I hardly ever get books for gifts.

Comment #61: Sunday, February, 6, 2011 at 22:35:14

Julie @ Knitting and Sundries

Oh .. I just looked around at the visible TBR piles ... I'm thinking I have a .. long time that I can read without ever receiving a single new book! I read a lot of middle grade books with my Bebe Boy, and picture books with the grandbebes, so I understand the children's books! And I have about 400 on my wishlist at Goodreads too, which means that I need to get some of the TBR pile read so I can get to THOSE (I can't believe I have over 400 on the wishlist - Wow). :)

Comment #62: Tuesday, February 8, 2011 at 22:53:23

Pussreboots

I realized I would never get to my wishlist if I waited to finish all the books on my TBR. So instead I'm culling my TBR and reading a TBR followed by a wishlist book, checked out from the library.
