1702.. I culled it up until I started the Popsugar Challenge on January 1st 2018. Clearly these challenges are terrible for keeping your TBR small! I need to cull more, but honestly, it takes so long!
What is the book with the most ratings?
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, this illustrated edition, the Ravenclaw edition, and the Scottish edition. Of course I have read the book already, so after that comes To Kill a Mockingbird.
What is the book with the least ratings?
Dragonfly (not published yet, no ratings either!) and Burgemeesters in oorlogstijd, which is a book I saw during work and seemed interesting. It's about mayors during World War II in the Netherlands. Also no ratings!

This feature doesn't seem to work very well, as it's not fully in order when I sort. I am picking the highest book that's actually published, and there are two with the same 4.69 rating!

Also, how do you commit to keeping your TBR shorter than your read list? Do you just not add books you would have added otherwise??? What if you forget about something you would have added, and never read it, and it's a book you would have loved? (Okay, I realize that last one is a bit of a silly question since none of us are ever going to read ALL the books we want to read whether they're on a list or not, but it would bug me to know there are others I would have added to the list if not for the sake of a random number.)

The Help
What is the book with the least ratings ?
Trying to Conceive Through Faith (2 ratings)

What is the lowest rated book?
Wren In The Mist at 2.83 (I go by specific reviews more than average rating. It doesn't matter to me if a lot of people loved/hated it, I'm just interested in *why* they loved or hated it.)
What is the longest book?
The Canterbury Tales 918 pages
What is the shortest book?
Franz Joseph Haydn The Story of the Choir Boy who became a Great Composer 7 pages (Is this right? I could knock this off my TBR in like 5 minutes!)
Edit: How did I miss the oldest book question the first time? The Odyssey 720 BC
When I notice that my TBR is higher than my Read shelf, I usually go through my TBR and get rid of books that no longer interest me or that I added just for a GR giveaway or that has lower ratings than I would usually read. I know I'll never read all the books on my list (and, TBH I usually don't check my list before choosing books - I usually use it as a reminder that I wanted to read a book when I see it pop up on other people's things), so I don't mind deleting off of my TBR if it becomes unruly.

What is the oldest book (publication date)?
The Iliad (762BC)

This is going to be a HUGE project for me!! I'm going to go through my massive list using the published date, I'll probably leave the newer books on and get rid of about 1000 books that have been on my list for years that I've forgotten about.

Okay, that does make sense to me. I've been trying to decide whether to go through my (non-owned) TBR and delete books that no longer look interesting. Personally, I'm torn on whether it's worth leaving on there just because it looked interesting at one time, because maybe it will again in a different mood, but I also know I went through a stretch of adding other people's recommendations and books that I 'should' read that I'll probably never get to.

-411 for Lysistrata by Aristophanes

Hahaha.....dont do it. I'm simultaneously trying to delete books and fix editions that aren't correct ( I realized some have unknown page counts, or I accidentally added audio, so it will throw off my stats) ....Its going to be a long term project for those nights that I have insomnia. I think I'll just axe whatever I already own, since I won't be forgetting about those, and any books past #1 in a series I haven't started yet. I'm getting agitated already though LOL. I think I'm down to 2,000 something, but I have books on there that I marked for the girls, a cookbook (did it look that good??? I don't know). So many that I don't remember what they even are. I'm feeling compelled to look at the reviews and see who I got the idea from. Thanks all you crazy readers for giving books glowing recommendations . I'm also seduced by pretty covers in my news feed.😫

Personnally I try to be much more critical of a book before adding it to my tbr, like “am I realistically going to read this book”, “does this book align with my goals of reading more diversely?”. I’ll never not put a book on my tbr because of the size of the list, but I try to be more mindful 😉

I'm sure many of you already know how to sort your shelves, but just in case you've never done it before:
Instructions: To sort your TBR, you'll need to go to your to-read shelf. Above your list (next to the search bar) there are some links for Batch Edit, Settings, Stats, and Print. We just want the Settings one so click that. Now you should see a list of columns. Checking the boxes will allow you to see more info about your to-read books.
In order to play along, you're going to need to put a check in the num ratings box, the rating box, the num pages box, and the date pub box. Hit the close button in the lower right-hand corner when you've done that.
Now you can sort and play along! Click on any of the column headers (like num pages or date pub, for example) to sort your list in ascending or descending order for that particular header.
And now, tell us:
