honestly no, just with the books that I own that im not interested in anymore like I got into reading hardcore in highschool and bought a ton of dysopians and now im growing out of them and still have quite a few left...i feel guilty about that. But for the most part you made me inspired to read more of the books i own and have owned for a while before just buying more...thats a problem for me lol.

Yes girl. I have like 3000 books on my tbr. I always love reading but booktube be having me want to order books all day everyday. I only got to reading more than one book a month. Before 2017 I was working 15-16 hour days so I just didn't read as much then. Audiobooks are godsent but I still love physical books. My husband told me u need to quit buying books and read what u got but what he kno about this he don't read like us.lol

This is why I use my library primarily and my Kindle (for cheap books that my library doesn't have). I have about 40-60 physical books and I don't really want more than that. I'd actually like to decrease the amount. I also hate book hauls on youtube with a passion! People can do what they want with their money but seeing how much people buy only to leave it on their shelves for years feels icky to me. I've seen a few people take this route and it's actually a breath of fresh air ♥

I love my library! We moved a few months ago so my new library is really tiny and doesn't have much, but I occasionally drive an hour to my old library that had alot to choose from! I agree with the money spent! I'm always shocked at how much money people spend on books. I could use that money for so many other things.

I totally agree. I just started reading again in 2020 and didn't understand how people could afford to consume so many expensive books (either audible or new physical books) I had no idea about libby or hoopla or book exchanges or little free libraries so I kept buying books. Now I'm down to only using scribd and buying cheap kindle books. Also thrift store shopping for books is amazing. My local thrift store sells all book for .50cents.

Hi Jacque! I don't know if you still check the comments on your old videos but I've been watching yours for a long time. I still have a large TBR. I've been reading a lot more this past year and I'm trying to keep myself motivated by searching for TBR to zero content and it made me realize how much I miss you and your book content!!! I haven't been able to find any other BookTubers who start and actually complete a TBR to Zero challenge the way you completed yours. They either give up, continue buying loads of books so their TBR's just continue growing, or completely stop posting content all together. I remember watching all of your videos when you were doing your challenge and how much I enjoyed it. You let us submit comments to help choose your books, you actually read the books you planned to read LOL, told us about them, and we saw every week how your TBR was shrinking. It encouraged me to work on decreasing my own, which I have been this year, I just have a large one, and I've read more this year than I have since I was a teenager because I found my love for reading again. So in the spirit of not failing, I'm going to go back and watch your TBR to Zero videos for inspiration. I've always loved your channel and look forward to you coming back to BookTube content!

I actually own very few unread books. I use my library a lot, which I love. I couldn't afford to continually buy new hardback books and I don't know how or where I would store all of those books either. So it's great to be able to read books and then just return them. And I don't feel guilty DNFing a book I've borrowed from the library but definitely do if I've purchased it myself. The only negative from using my library is that they don't always have the books I want but I quickly forget about those because there selection is still wonderful and I find books whilst browsing that I've never even heard of before. I love this challenge you're doing and looking forward to following you on this journey! 😀

I have stopped buying alot of books and get them via ebook.. I have 100 n 100's of books unread , most thrifted, alot from same authors that I may not have read but like the genre etc.. so with a lot of these I will be finding the ebook and selling off the actual book...

I also feel overwhelm at times because I have so many physical books I own and want to read but I mainly use Libby and can consume audiobooks or ebooks faster. I hope you do the spoil vlog on the crawdads sing want to hear your thoughts.

I find your idea kinda interesting, but I don't know about the shopping spree when you finish your tbr..Maybe buy only two to three books? By so you don't let your tbr explode again. I wish you the best of luck für the next year 1^^

I very rarely buy books and when I do it's only one or two at a time. Otherwise, I'd rather read it on ebook or audiobook from my library. The biggest thing for me has been clearly out my Goodreads TBR every once and a while. I feel like I often click "Want to Read" on things I see or hear about and when I actually go back and look at the synopsis or read a few reviews it is so much easier to clear it out and have a tidier TBR.

@@thecozycommune if you have all of these listed in GR, you could sort by date added and read the oldest book first (if it's not a book for a vlog). I've been doing that with my list. If it's a book I don't own, I skip to the next book I do own....if it's one I'm not in the mood for, I skip to the next oldest book owned. 🙂

You also said you were interested in Falling which is very similar to Hostage I believe so thinking you could do a comparison vlog to those two!! Have heard Hostage is better than Falling.

This is why I only allow myself to keep 12 physical books in a year. (Most years I don’t even hit 12 even though I read around 100) Otherwise it is audio, ebook or library. I only want my favorites on my shelf. It doesn’t bother me to purchase an ebook and then toward the end of the year or after reading it purchasing it as a physical copy. And if I read a physical book and it’s not a personal fav then it automatically goes into a donate/free library tote in my car.

I was very disappointed in Still Missing by Chevy Stevens! El Deafo is so cute it's the graphic novel that got me into reading graphic novels. Pet Sematary is my favorite Stephen King book , it's actually the only one that I like of his so far. Goodnight Beautiful is also on my TBR so if you want to buddy read it sometime I would love that! Bunny was so weird it took me a couple months to get through it and I am still unsure of my thoughts and feelings towards it! The Maidens was terrible which sucks because it was one of my most anticipated of the year.
