Good on you. I am rooting for you! TBR Zero 2.0 here we come! You can accomplish it. I started with 100+ unread books (I think it was about 150) now I'm down to about 60-70 unread. You can do it.

I started my zero TBR challenge two years ago and I am now at 57ish. I unhauled a lot, I read a lot and now I make smarter choices when it comes to buying new books. I basically buy a book when I NEED to read it RIGHT NOW. I buy it, I read it, I return to my TBR. I still have a long way ahead of me, but so far this works well for me 😊 Good luck with your journey! Just remember, owning a lot of books is a luxury and needs to be enjoyed to the fullest! So savor every book and every moment and you will have a lot of fun along the way 😊

Hearing your experience gives me hope that I will be able to complete this challenge as well. Your idea of buying books sounds good. I will need to implement something similar to my book buying. I definitely never forget that owning a lot of books is a luxury. I am forever grateful for the books I own. I will remember to savour every book and moment of this challenge.

If you have kindle unlimited id suggest getting rid of it to save money and concentrate on the physical copies you have. I never got KU, as much as I love reading I'm not a fast reader and also I'm a mood reader so I do not read all the time, for that reason I typically buy the 99p kindle books. Or the odd book i really want to own on kindle. I would never in theory spend a year's worth of subscription on kindle books so I would still save money. With the benefit of owning the books. If its not much more money or sometime less money I will buy the physical copy.

Thanks for you advice about kindle unlimited and I totally get where you are coming from. I don't think I will be getting rid of it for the moment because I use it to be able to read books of my physical TBR when I am not at home. I don't like carrying around a physical copy of a book because I am worried that they will get damaged. Another thing I do is I frequently cancel kindle unlimited so I never pay for it for the whole year. So I only have it when I am actually using it.

As someone with a relatively small tbr I genuinely don't understand why so many people with big tbrs always talk about the options. Bookstores exist, if I really want to pick up a book I can get the eBook right now. Even if a physical version is not available I can order one and it'll be at my house in two days. I feel like I am actually more flexible in what I read because I don't have to always consider what is on my tbr at home and I also have more financial freedom because I just spend so much less money overall on reading. I've also tried reading to zero before but I've never even made it to the single digits, so I am excited tp watch you do it!

I really don't understand either why I had it in my head for the longest time that a bigger tbr means more options. Everything you said makes so much sense. It is a realisation I have slowly been coming to and is a major reason why I am doing this challenge.

Never too late to start saving money. I am having a great time reading my tbr. I found so many 5 stars reads. Also I'm on the last books of series I wanted to get to for so long. I still have a lot of books tho. I want to get it down to 80 this year (i include the ebooks I really want to read) and next year to 30-40 books

something that helped me stop buying a lot of books was adding them to a TBR list on Libby, which is an app that's connected to local libraries. idk if this is just a US thing but it is very helpful.
