It was time for bold and decisive action on my Goodreads Want to Read list. There were 79 titles on that list. I add new titles all the time, and I don't add titles that I own. Mostly I use the Goodreads list to look for books at the library, but how am I supposed to narrow it down from 79? I had to do something, so I got rid of any book that I added in 2023 and 2024, then from the remaining books, I got rid of any with a Goodreads rating of lower than 3.5. I'm down to 47 now, and I've made a strategic decision. At the end of each month beginning in January, I will remove books that I added in that month in 2025. For example, at the end of January 2026, any book that I added in January 2025 will be removed UNLESS I feel very strongly that I must read it, then I can carry it over for a month.
So many books, so little time. Although, I actually will have more time to read in less than 30 days.
I learned a new word today from Pinterest, and it was appropriate:
This can be amended for virtual piles of electronic books on my Kindle and on my Goodreads list.
Happy reading!

That's a way to cull your list :) I like the Japonese saying.
