My Goodreads TBR

As I was browsing Goodreads  a few days ago I saw I had 398 books on my to read list. I must admit it scarred me a bit, so many books to read and so little time. looking at the dates I added a book to the list, the first one added are added in dec 2011 and I still haven’t had time to read it. I must say I don’t know precisely which books are on the list and which aren’t. It made me feel quite unsettled.

It got me thinking about the urge I feel to read as many books possible even when I don’t have the time to read so many books. And how I feel like I have to read al the books on my TBR pile even if some of the books don’t seem as luring as they did when I put them on the list.

I have read 150 books and volumes of comics this year, and 2015 still has a few months left but even if I try to read more I don’t think it would make me feel more happy or satisfied. I read because I like to travel through different worlds and times. I’ am a dreamer and an adventurer, a nosy bookworm and some worlds I like to revisit others I spent a few hours in and then there are the worlds I can’t get enough of and read every book in the series only to visit a so dear loved world. And having such a humongous bucketlist of places to wander seems not as bad as it did a few days ago.  I will travel places through books and it will be marvelous.

Lots of love,

Hanneke
