Well. Three months ago I posted a picture of the to-read pile as part of my efforts to get myself to shrink my stockpile of books waiting to be read. Here’s how it looked:

So here we are, in August and I thought it was time to report back on my progress in my quest to reduce the backlog. Brace yourself:

So I think it looks a little better. Of course this is partly because I’ve had a rationalisation of the library book stock pile and taken a lot back. But even taking that into account I don’t think that the pile has got any bigger – and if you compare the photos you’ll see that although some of the same books are still there there’s also a fair few that have changed. So I’m not too discouraged – but there is still a lot of work to do.
