I've been looking for a reduce-my-TBR type group for a couple of weeks now. I download way too many self-help books, cookbooks, gardening books, saving for retirement books, and travel memoirs from Amazon when they're free.

I'll try to read 50 of them between today (June 15) and the end of the year.

Welcome. You may find as a non-fiction reader that you don't so much finish books as stop reading them, because you've found the information you came to find. I suspect you'll find you only need one "saving for retirement" book and a light skim of the rest. There's really only a limited number of strategies to retirement savings and once you know them, there is very little that can be added. Feel free to list the ones you got off your backlog, even if you didn't "read" them all the way through.

Thanks, aulsmith. I'm sure you're right. Last year I gave up on the first retirement advice book I ever opened because it was so dull I just couldn't stand it. Same with The Memory Bible, which I'm still trying to read since it was a gift.

1 down, 49 to go: I finished Simpler: Declutter Your Life and Focus on What's Most Important by Mike Burns. It was good, especially Chapter 10, "Declutter Your Bookshelf" -- and, it was nice and short!
