I am constantly looking for new books to read and I add books to my To Read list almost daily. I will never finish reading all the books on my ever expanding list.
So what is the last book your added to your list?
I just added The House of the Scorpion (Matteo Alacran #1) by Nancy Farmer but that could change in the next hour
I have 5000+ books on my Excel spreadsheet. I read book reviews and then put them on the spreadsheet when the library doesn't have them. Will have to see about requesting interlibrary loans. I think they charge at least $2 for each one---that would be $10,000 if I requested all of them!
I have so many in my TBR pile, I don't know why I keep adding to it.
Me too. I think it is the closest thing I have to an addiction

I call it "to read" others call it "to be read". Either way it's our our list of books we want to read.
WowI thought I had a lot on my list at 967. 5000 books would take me about 50 years to read. Good luck to you. Better sort out the best of the best
Even at $10,000. it's still a lot less than buying them. For now my books through my library are free. I do donate to the library each year so that should help some.
Yup, they have e-books and books on CD---but I am still doing regular old fashioned books. The books at the library are free as well, but if you request an interlibrary loan where they have to borrow it from a library outside the system, they charge $2.
My "To Read" list is always growing. I want to go back and read all the books I read as a kid. Searching for Shona, White Fang, Gentle Ben, Where the Red Fern Grows, Tom Sawyer, Etc....
I also want to reread Mountain Men by Vardis Fisher. I read it a couple years ago and loved it. I want to add more books based on that time period to my collection.
Just finished Reserecting home by A. American. it was book 5 in the series. I want to read them all over again but I'll wait until next summer for that.
Up on deck I have the Purge of Babylon series by Sam Sisavath. I had read the first to books, and 75% of the thrird book. But I broke my Kindle Fire, so I just ordered the actual paperback books and going to start from book 1.
for me, "Nine Stories" by J.D. Sallinger
"Rumors of Peace" by Ella Leffland
