4/12/2022 What book has been sitting on your TBR pile the longest?
Some do define tbr in different ways, I will only think of it as those books I own. Oh and I do not count kindle freebies, those are old as hell.
But like years ago Karen at For what it's worth went through her books and I decided to do the same. I had over 200 unread ones, I dnfed a LOT. I gave away a lot. I read a lot. It was years of focusing on my old books.
Looking at my shelves it seems The black jewels trilogy by Anne Bishop is my oldest. I tried it like a page years ago, gave up and meant to try again. One day! And it seems I have some books from 2016. Work in progress.

I have soooo many
ReplyDeleteI also only count books I own towards my TBR. There are dozens of books I mark "want to read," because someone recommended or I liked the cover, etc. But unless I own it, it doesn't count.
ReplyDeleteHow can they count when you do not have them, exactly. So no I do not count that book from 20 years ago
DeleteThere's a whole bunch! I think I would have to go to Goodreads to check...
ReplyDeleteWithout GR I would be lost
DeleteI have had some books on my Kindle since I bought the device. It's pretty common for me to buy books years before I get around to reading them.
ReplyDeleteA million freebies for me
DeleteYou did great purging your shelves a little while back. I'm doing better at reading my older books, but not nearly what I need to be. I'm pretty sure a freebie is my oldest TBR book, too.
ReplyDeletePURGE! Yup, the only way, at least for me lol. SO many bad ones
DeleteMy oldest is from 2010 King's Mistress by Emma Campion. Definitely work in progress :D
ReplyDeleteI remembe wanting to read that one
DeleteOh man, I'm not sure. I have that Anne Bishop series on my TBR, but I haven't bought yet. I was just on Jen's page where she mentioned Naomi Novik, I have that series on my list too. I think it might be the oldest (or at least one of the oldest) audiobooks on my phone that I haven't listened to yet. One day.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Books of My Heart
I need to get to the bishop books...maybe it Alexandra narrated them
DeleteYeah when answering this question I was thinking of the books I own too. I have want to read books that I don't own, but for me it really counts as TBR once I've actually committed to it so much that I purchased it/obtained it in some way. 2016 is pretty good really! Mine was from 2011!
