Follow My Book Blog Friday is hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read.
Go count the number of unread books sitting on your shelf. How many?
On my shelf--13. But that's after my month-long stint of forcing myself not to read any new books until I made a dent in the ones I already have. Most of my unread books are ones that I picked up just on principle because they were really cheap. I think the book that's sat unread the longest is "Bleak House" by Charles Dickens--I've had that one for 5 years or so.
I also have this big bag of, like, 50 books that I got at a book sale that I haven't really tackled yet. Not to mention all the free books on my Kindle that I haven't gotten to. I have a lot of reading to do . . .
How many unread books do you have? Which one's sat on your shelf the longest?
I love the name of your blog! :) I purposefully left out the books from the library and the ones on my Kindle in my count. Otherwise it would've been ugly... New follower, check me out at:

Hopping through. I didn't think about some of the obscure ones. I've had War and Peace sitting on my shelf since high school. I do want to read it some day.

Hey Karen, This is why I started blogging, when my friends look at me like i'm crazy owning all these unread books, I just come to the blogosphere and find myself among fellow "crazies". Have a great weekend, new follower ;)

That was a smart thing to do. I really need to read what I have first. *sigh* LOL!
ReplyDeleteHave a nice weekend!

New follower! I have had Brothers Karamazov on my shelf for years. It is a marathon of a book, and I have been trying to read it forever. Looking forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteGood morning - new follower stopping by on the Friday Follow.
ReplyDeleteI'm all for the big stack of old fashioned physical books . . . my (yikes!) 400+ gives me something to do if I win the lottery, or if civilization breaks down into some post-apocalyptic dystopia. :)
Good for you not buying any new books for a while. I wish I was that strong :)

13 is a very reasonable number. Good luck not buying! Stay strong.
