I'm still holding strong at just over 300, but that's way too many. I have over 50% nonfiction on the list, and I think for some of those once I read a few pages, I might decide to skip them. So maybe that's where I'll focus next... Nicole, a TBR kindred spirit! :-) Do you mean we have the same size or system for tracking?

I loooooove spreadsheets and graphs.

Thank you! I'm list dividing by making sure I've categorized everything by genre, since I like to switch between genres each book I read. Then this weekend, I started going through and culling the list. I cut a grand total of...FIVE. Heh. Oh well, every little bit and all that. Dani, these are fabulous ideas!!! Thank you!
