My TBR consists only of purchased ebooks. Library books don't affect it and a book I read right away is a null, as I don't have an absolute value* for my TBR, only a relative value.
Library books, public domain and audiobooks count as books read, but not as a TBR reduction. The three are a large percentage of what I read, which is why my TBR reduction rate is glacial, even though I read what I consider to be a respectable number of books.
*Not only do I not want to know, it would take too much effort. Not just counting, but also deciding which books never will be read anyway. I do a purge of the never-will-reads at intervals.
As long as I'm here, I might as well confess that my TBR is currently +2 for the current year.
My immediate goal is to get that back into the negative by the end of the month.
