TBR Check In: August 2019

Asha - A Cat, A Book, And A Cup Of Tea

August is going to be a busy month for me, with a house move and WorldCon, so I’m hoping that I can still fit plenty of reading in, as the TBR’s getting a bit ridiculous…

Goodreads Reading Challenge

280

31 books read in July, which is pretty good, since I have barely read anything in this last week! That brings me up to a total of 280 for the year so far – I think I should be able to get over 300 by the end of August, which will be fun…

My Owned TBR

Between YALC, NetGalley, and a really great crop of review copies, the TBR is looking a little unsalvageable. It’s currently sitting at 603, and I know that there are books in the post. I’ve started a little hashtag on Twitter of #TBRShelfControl, where I’m making mini-TBRs to focus my reading, and to get some small victories – do join in if you’d like! I’m going to be trying my hardest to read as fast as I can, and also to pick off some of the shorter titles on the list just to get back down nearer 500 again. It’ll be easier once we’ve moved and I have access to physical books again, as I read on paper much more quickly than on screen. 

NetGalley

Oh NetGalley. I love you and I hate you. My shelf currently has 137 books I need to review, though about half have been read. I’ve been super lax with reviews this month.

Blog Tours

Just a couple of tours this month, and I’ve left the middle of the month free! These are all stellar books though so I’m very excited!

2nd – Mrs Sommersby’s Second Chance

26th – The Optickal Illusion

28th – How To Love a Duke in Ten Days

30th – The Song of the Sycamore

The TBR

So, pretty much all the physical books I own are in boxes right now… It’s a Kindle reading month for me again! Please check out my TBR page if you want to recommend something to me – Kindle copies are marked (K) for Kindle or (NG) for NetGalley. And wish me luck getting back down from 600!

I'm Asha and the one constant in my life is that I have always had an enormous, overflowing pile of books to read. Physically. In my house. Taking up all the space. Threatening to break the bookshelves. It's probably about time I read them.

  1. I feel ya! I’m currently sitting with over a thousand on my TBR! Hopefully your #TBRShelfControl will help keep me organized! Mini goals are the way to go. Good luck with the move and all the unpacking that is sure to follow. 🙂

      1. Oh no. That’s the kicker too, most of the books I own, aren’t actually marked on my GR TBR. I’ve been meaning to go back and add them all on there (the ones I haven’t read) but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

  6. I have almost 30 Net Galley reads. I’ve only finished 2 of them so far and at the pace I’m going in, I’ll only have 2 more finished by the end of August. Currently working on A Death in Harlem by Karla Holloway, The World That We Knew by Alice Hoffman, and Bethlehem by Karen Kelly. Good luck!
