My Never Ending List

I have only one reading goal this year and perhaps it is not a realistic goal for me but it's a goal that I'm watching closely every month.  I went into the year thinking I could do this but dang if these authors didn't start throwing out terrific books for me every month, then there were the blogs and the websites that I follow every day and I can't forget Goodreads and BookLikes.  I also volunteer at the library each week and it is so hard not to walk out the door with a piece of paper in my pocket with a book title or two and at least one book under my arm or a pile that I have accumulated in the short time while I was there.  My goal this year was: to reduce my TBR pile or at least not adding that much to it this year and I am wondering right now exactly what I thought "not adding much to it" really meant LOL. See, I started out this year with a total of 1,168 books on my TBR pile and for the past 3 months I have added 78 books to that list. Considering I have read already 65 books this year, I don't think I'm doing that bad. Not good, just not that bad. I am adding books faster than I am taking them off.  Next year, a different goal is in my future.
