Books you have bought but haven't read yet

[Reading lady]

I get most of the books from the library which helps me to avoid the piling up of books I haven't read. It encourages me to read them in the order I pick them out as well, since I will return them. When you buy a book, you can keep telling yourself you will read it some other time. With the library, you have a due date that helps encourage you to actually read it now.

I couldn't possibly read all the books I want to read fast enough to get them back to the library when they are due. I use the library when it is convenient and to save money but they don't have everything I want to read. When I read a series I want to read them in order all together and the library wouldn't have them all. So I have many many books I have yet to read on my shelves but it is slowly decreasing now that I have a Kindle. I get books from Book Gorilla often free or very cheap and I have over 400 waiting to be read.

Oh, I have a very large selection of books I got from the crisis center, goodwill, and the Salvation Army. Some are novels, some are inspirational, and some are non fiction.

[WinterCandyMints]

It's an unreal amount. I have so many on my shelves. I read a lot at once.

[Kmikel0509]

that's my biggest problem! I'll buy books and not read all of them before I buy a new batch of them!

The Fault In Our Stars, Miss Perigrine's House for Peculiar Children, and Eat Pray Love

[ALynnPowers]

I have four pages listed on my kindle. That's 10 books per page. So, 40ish books. Maybe not quite that many. Some of those are dictionaries and such. So we'll say 30 of them. I am not going to list of 30 books!

I am very far away from my physical bookshelf right now, but I have this problem with my Kindle too! I just keep downloading much faster than I can read. I currently have about 60 books on my device and have read maybe half of them. That isn't including the books on my computer waiting to be transferred...

I just bought 1Q84 by Harukami - all three books. I have so much to read already but I just got all three books, so I can stare at them, getting excited to read them!!

[lorenicole]

I don't think I own a book I haven't read yet. I usually buy a book when I am not reading one and then I read it right away...

[Aspen_Reads]

Doon
The Pledge (halfway through)
Allegiant
and so many others that I can't possible list them all without taking up a lot of room!

I too have over 400 waiting in queue. Quite often I'll find a book that looks interesting but its book 2 in the series and then I'll have to hold onto it til I find number 1. Goal for 2015 read more buy less!
