Okay. I am going to make a new topic for the TBR books you have on your shelves. Books not registered by others. These are the ones I have on my BC shelf but I am sure I forgot a few. My own books TBR: My TBR True Crime Books
Some of them I am not sure really still want to read. Okay I started out with 122 books Bought 4 books and read 2 of them in January. Darn I really need to release some books again. Green means I have read them Red means I am not going to read them Blue is new since the start of this list Edited by Marlene, Feb 18 2010, 12:01 PM.

None. At least not registered at BookCrossing.  Of course, if I buy a book, I don't register it until after I read it and know that I don't want it in my PC.

I only have 3 (and I'm not going to list them because they are going out as surprises to some other people here). I usually make a point of not registering books on BC until after I've read them (although obviously a few get by!) or if I'm not going to read them at all. |

 I have no self control. It was easier when I was a kid and the books were shorter. I haven't quite caught on that I can't read an entire duffle bag full of books on one vacation any more. |

I don't think I have more than 25 and part of that is because I just got about 5 in today. I try to keep it as low as possible. And like a few others mentioned, I generally don't register books until I've read them. So my TBRs are [usually] BC books I've gotten from other people. |

Ha! I have over 500 books in my TBR pile and if you take away the ones that were registered by other BCers, which are about 200, that leaves me with about 300! Ouch...  I'm not even commenting on other people's mountains. I know there are some out there worse than me. Much, much worse. |

I just wonder were do you put them all? I do admit some of you girls make me feel so much better whenever my books are more then shelf space I panick. dont like having books pilled around. I'm nor carefull whit my books but thats something I cant satnd. So whenerver that happens I find a way to clear a shelf. steal have 3avl one whit dvds and cds, one whit a bookcollection my mum made for me when I was little and her angelique books, and one last one whit univers books. plus I have on the livimg room almost 100 books that came out whit a journal some years ago. but those I cant count |

Because I can't resist making lists...the good news is that almost every one of my books is registered on BC. The bad news is that there are more than 150 books on this list! Eeek! I've been really good lately about not acquiring new books for myself, but some of these came from exchanges and such.
