It's Friday so I'm joining in the Book Blogger Hop hosted by Crazy-For-Books. Every week a ton of bloggers sign up and it's lots of fun. Every week comes with a question for everyone to answer.
This week's question is
How many books do you have on your 'to be read shelf’?
Ok, I don't have a TBR shelf. I have an 'already read' shelf of books I've collected over the years but I've read them all, with the exception of a few textbooks. Having been unemployed for over a year, my book buying funds are practically nonexistent. So, my TBR shelf is now located at the public library. Gotta love the library! I do have a TBR list as most of you know. It's located HERE and it has 973 books left on it.
So those of you with a shelf, how many are on there?

Hi there! visiting from the hop, and a new follower. Have a great weekend!
Hey - just hoppin' by! Hope you have a great weekend! Stop by The Wormhole and say hi!
I'm stopping by from the hop. Lovely blog. Have a happy weekend. Keep it shiny!
I love that thought - the library as the TBR shelf. I will definitely remember that. I recently read 84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff and she makes a comment about how she isn't a big fan of book shops per se, because she browses in the library and then buys books once she knows that she loves it and will re- read it
Happy Friday!!!--Stopping by from the hop!--I'm a new follower!!!
my tbr number is a little high right now, too--but to be fair, I'm also including all the classics and such that I'd like to read "someday." The actual pile on my desk is much smaller ;)

Hi there,
I've read a few of the books on your list and I've got a few on my TBR.
I really admire your goal of reading all 1001 Books - and I'm really fascinated by it.
Would you be up for an interview for a podcast via skype?
hi love that your reading through 1001 to read list I ve read bout 120 from list got another 20 or 30 round house waiting to be read ,wish you luck on your read through have few reviewed on blog ,the is a santa evita reading group in sept ,all the best stu
Thanks everyone for stopping by. I'll be returning your visit sometime to day.
Becky- I do exactly what Helene Hanff was saying. Especially because a lot of these books are not my usual kind of book. So I read the library copy and if I love it and would read it again I add it to a 'to be bought' list.
Amanda- I would love to but I don't have skype or even a webcam. I'm beyond flattered though.
Stu-I'll have to look into that reading group. Sounds fun.
Thanks again everyone!!
Greetings! My TBR pile is 60 books high and growing. I love to read historical fiction and mysteries.
Happy Friday. Come see how many books I have on my TBR pile.
My TBR pile is the library too!! --I like your title...a friend of mine has a goal of 1000 and she calculates to be done in 2005. btw, is this the same group in Goodreads?
Have a good weekend.

I'm using the same list as the Goodreads group and I'm a member of it there but I'm just a crazy woman trying to read entirety too many books on my own. I figure I'll be done in 2020 ish. I'm 28 and I'm hoping to be done before I'm 40.
Stopping by from the hop. I really like your layout! I'm headed out to look around now :)
