It has made me feel a little more accomplished, but I still buy more than I can read. I used to go through the stuff my friends on Goodreads have recently added, but had to stop otherwise I'd have over 2000 books, LOL! I find most of the better ones through blogs so I've narrowed down my adding there. :P<br /><br />I used to go nuts with NetGalley, but I'm trying to be better there too. I usually only pick out ones I really want to read and not just ones I'll read someday. That way I will actually read it and not put it off until the book expires. ;)Jessica L.

Hopefully my new ereader will help with that.

I'll make a mental list of the books I want to read over the next few weeks, but then I get distracted at the library or by another book I own that I suddenly have the urge to read, or I'll win a book and really want to read it. My TBR pile grows every day on GoodReads, and my physical pile is getting ridiculous. I love to make lists and even more than that, I love crossing stuff off lists, so I'm thinking I might make a list and cross books off as I read them and that might help me stay on track? Worth a shot, right?SweetMarie83https://www.blogger.com/profile/12518239232924662332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-61082292807297627732012-08-28T00:18:19.763-04:002012-08-28T00:18:19.763-04:00I am guilty of this too.

I think that may help the most--writing out a reasonable schedule and trying to stick with it. Not take on too much. I just need to stop finding new books, lol. :PJessica L.

Blogging has helped me with that some - I've started learning to set limits, NOT accept every review request, ARC, etc and I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel so that I WILL be able to read some of my anticipated TBRs!Molli @ Once Upon a Prologuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14817317037277260565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683638078189398634.post-34907983077642786672012-08-26T07:45:22.094-04:002012-08-26T07:45:22.094-04:00Good for you taking a stand!

I've taken a stand against my obsession and Have forbidden myself from buying books until I can get through the pile of stuff I already have. This works well for paperbacks but I still have a tendency to buy cheap ebooks and then completely forget about them!

That might not be a bad idea for me to try. I've just got to convince myself how important reading certain books is. Tell myself to not be distracted by the rest! :PJessica L.

I spend hours a week just staring at my shelves wondering when I'm going to get to all of those books! I made a shelf on Goodreads for books to get to soon and have I got to any of them? Did it help? Nope. :( Sigh! I have no idea what to do.

And I'm excited when they arrive, I put them in the reading piles (nightstand for physical, phone for e-books), but then I just ... don't.<br /><br />I think part of it is a sense of anticipation. Like, I'm so excited for it, I don't want the book to be a flop. Or not as good as I'd hoped. <br /><br />I don't have any suggestions, because this is something I'm struggling with as well. You're not alone, though! Leeannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284091494053528217noreply@blogger.com
