Currently, it’s around 75 books. It used to be over 200, but I realized there are only certain books that I will actually read, so I narrowed it down.
A majority of these books have already been released, and there are some that I’m just waiting to be released (and of course there are some that I want to read but don’t know when they are going to come out).
894
10 books. I had hundreds in my TBR list on GoodReads and when I switched to StoryGraph a few months ago I wanted a fresh start.
Too long…
Want to read some Malatesta, a book about ID Software, and This is How You Lose the Time War, but my nature makes this difficult. I always think like “Wow I want to read” and then will continue sitting on some game or website instead lol
If it helps, I read the ID Software book a few years ago and it was great.
I’ve heard! ID fascinates me on the whole so I imagine it’s great, thanks for the motivation!
More than I would ever bother to count or set a number to.

The struggle is real.
I just passed 200 recently. I don’t mind a long list because either i have books i really want to read already on hold at a library or I will use a script to randomly pick one.
I recently cleared out my To Read list because it was getting overwhelming to comb though. Down to 8 now, but I still keep picking up random books off Libby.
Not too bad. 7 books, three having question marks to indicate that I may not, in fact, read them. I’ve got a few on top of that if you count the “in progress” section.
I keep a running list (via tags) on Libby. I have about 100 books listed to be read. I do not read them in order though. I pick my next book based on my mood.
Usually about three books long. Not because I read really quickly, but because I only remember the last three books in my pile.
My list currently stands at 582, although some of those are the first/next in a series, so there’s probably another 100 you could add on there.
When I go to add a book to my TR list and find it already there, I add it to my shortlist, which is another list I generally ignore.
Do you use anything in specific to track your to-read list?
I’m currently using Goodreads (“Want to Read” is a shelf, “shortlist” is a tag) but I’m definitely open to alternatives* - I was a user before Amazon bought it and nowadays it’s so slow (and the Android app is even slower) that it’s unpleasant to use. I’m not a fan of the redesign either; the functionality I actually use it for is now further away.
* I started making one myself, but I already have too many side projects. Bookwyrm has been mentioned here a few times and looks interesting. I’d looked at other potential replacements before and they all seemed to suffer from not having a good enough database of books.
Somewhere around ~150. much like my music listening wishlist, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never, ever get through all of it
I try not to overexpand my list because until I have the time to tackle all of it, I might lose interest in the selected topics. We grow over the years and our interests change with us. This is why I limit my list to a year’s worth of books.
Same here but only a month or two. Sometimes 6 months go by and I realize I have only been reading a single author, sometimes it’s all over the place. But I don’t think I plan hundreds of books ahead of time at all, based on this thread I’m maybe odd man out.
My to-read list is an ever growing calamity, but I’m only ever consciously aware of handful of books near the top of it at a time, which keeps me sane and moving forward.
107 books. Why did I do this to myself?
