I added 6 books to my Goodreads shelf this week. I did a major clean-up and deleted 40 books from my Goodreads want to read shelves.
I finished 3 books this week (I thought it was more! 😕). I still need to post the review for 1 of them.
The top ten topic this past Tuesday was books set in places I would love to visit, which was a fabulous topic and it got me to thinking...which led me to starting a page tracking where the books I read take place. It is a very rough start, not up to date, and will be a work in progress, but I am excited about it 😂 If you would like to see it you can visit my page Around the World in Books.
I almost forgot!! I was in TN last week any my sister gave me my birthday gifts, of course I love them!!!!:
It’s always a great feeling to clean up your TBR on Goodreads and really take a look at priority reads. Love the bookish gifts! Have a wonderful week ahead.
ReplyDeleteJodie, it really is! I hadn't done it in a long time. Have a great weekend!
DeleteI don't use Goodreads but rather Librarything instead. My use is a little different from yours but I don't know why I am only putting books I plan on reading ASAP on Librarything. I have a notebook to keep track of my many reading challenges and TBRs are listed there. I never realized that I was handling TBRs like this until reading your post. Thanks for the insight.
ReplyDeleteLaura, I have heard of Library thing, but every time I look into it I decide to stick with Goodreads. I think it is whichever you start first.
DeleteI do a monthly meme where each month we post about where our books have taken us. It is so interesting and I find that I travel further than I thought I did!
ReplyDelete3 books a week is good. I am lucky if I make it 2. I need to do a clean up at some point but then look at the books and think maybe I still want to read them at some point!!!
They are great birthday gifts!
Have a great weekend!

Emily, that is a cool meme! I narrowed down my books by looking them up on Amazon and then typing in scenes to see if they were in the book, or certain words, and if they were, I deleted them. For instance, seeing if there were "rape" scenes in a book.
DeleteDeleting 40 books from your Goodreads want to read shelf and only adding 6 is awesome! Good for you. I've been trying to get my Goodreads want to read list down a bit this year, too. But it's so hard when new books that I want to read keep coming out! ;D
ReplyDeleteLark, thanks, it needed to be done. It is hard when new books come up, but I was able to narrow it down by taking some of the new to me authors off that had questionable content in the books (better explanation under Emily's comment).
DeleteI love your birthday gifts. 😍 Happy birthday! 🎉🎉🎉
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteThe thought of cleaning out my Goodreads Want To Read is terrifying... which is probably a good sign it needs doing. I don't think I've done it in over 10 years of using the site. gulp!
ReplyDeleteCassie, oh boy! I will send moral support, a little at a time would be good!
DeleteI really need to clean up with Goodreads shelves. My wishlist gets out of hand. :)
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I imagine all of ours does, LOL!
DeleteEnjoy your quiet weekend, Cindy. I'm having one of those weekends too. I love that blanket your sister gave you! I really need to clean up my Goodreads too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy!
Delete3 books would be a good week for me. I love yours presents, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mark!
DeleteOh I love that blanket!!! So cool. Proud of your for not getting any new books. Adding to your TBR is not quite the same, so that's all good.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading this week and enjoy your blanky! We can do with it here, it's dreadfully cold....

I bet you do love the blanket, LOL, she said she was looking for one that had a dog, but couldn't find one. I am enjoying the blanket, it is hot outside, but I like to sit under a blanket when I read :)
DeleteWhat a fantastic reading blanket! Your sister knows what you like.
ReplyDeleteI've just gone through all my books and donated bags of them to a friend who is planning to open a bookshop. I figure if I decide to read one of them then I'll go to her shop and buy it from her!
Have a lovely week, Cindy!
Wow Deb, that is fantastic!!! I am sure she appreciates it!!! I am blessed with my sister, she does know me well. Have a great week!
DeleteI need to go through my goodreads tbr shelf, too... there are a lot of books there I'm no longer interested in reading. Thanks for the reminder. Happy Birthday!!
ReplyDeleteJoAnn, I understand completely! Have a great week!
DeleteLove your bookish birthday gifts and love organizing my GR shelves!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI also need to do a huge clean up of my Goodreads TBR. I have over 1000 books on that shelf. I love your book blanket! Happy Belated birthday, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla!
DeleteI like that reading blanket. Happy Birthday and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianna!
DeleteLove that idea of tracking where you read. I might start paying close attention as well- it will be fun to look back!
ReplyDeleteHope you're having a nice relaxing weekend!
Thanks Greg, I agree! I am already having fun with it!
DeleteI love the idea of tracking where your books take place. I will check that out. My Sunday Post: https://bonniereadsandwrites.com/2022/08/07/sunday-post-crazy-days-and-a-lazy-day/
ReplyDeleteThanks Bonnie!
DeleteI need to delete a bunch of books from my GR "To Read" list as well. Happy reading this week! http://www.lyndonperrywriter.com/2022/08/stacking-shelves-weekly-roundup-for-aug.html
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Lyn. Thanks for stopping by!
