How many books do you have on ''to-read'' list?
I just hit 621, and I think I'll stop now. It's already possibly more than I will ever read.

28 on an amazon wishlist but I could probably knock that down to 15, and roughly 20 on my bookshelf rn. This semester has been rough so I've barely had time to read and so I finely decided I'm not going to try until my Christmas break. Excited to get back into though.

Also, not kidding, there were only white people sitting and reading.

About 24. I generally only put books that I already own but haven’t read or books that I could conceivably buy in the near future. There are three books on there that I own and have attempted to read but did not enjoy at all from what I ready that I’m saving for a fresh look at some other time.
