So if it's a book that people are going to be talking about, I like to read it asap.<br />And I should Spring Clean my GR shelf too as I'm never EVER going to read it all! And I do like the idea of it being more realistic.Trish @ Between My Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517849083417759188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-38820604405663833022015-04-24T16:38:26.976-07:002015-04-24T16:38:26.976-07:00Ooh, that's happened to me, too.

The same thing sometimes happens if I start a book, don't have time to finish it, and then never wish to return to it (even though I was liking it just fine!)

Maybe I should try to lose mine more often. :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-62725407177059665922015-04-10T09:15:37.506-07:002015-04-10T09:15:37.506-07:00Right?

My TBR list is mostly a matter of possibility, not serious intention and is not located in one place. Sometimes I mark off books from my library list because the library doesn't have them; sometimes my Amazon wish list gets cleared out, but not often, even if the book no longer interests me. I lose the lists I just jot down on whatever is available and don't think of them again until something else reminds me.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.com
