My list currently stands at 582, although some of those are the first/next in a series, so there's probably another 100 you could add on there.
When I go to add a book to my TR list and find it already there, I add it to my shortlist, which is another list I generally ignore.
Do you use anything in specific to track your to-read list?
I'm currently using Goodreads (“Want to Read” is a shelf, “shortlist” is a tag) but I'm definitely open to alternatives* - I was a user before Amazon bought it and nowadays it's so slow (and the Android app is even slower) that it's unpleasant to use. I'm not a fan of the redesign either; the functionality I actually use it for is now further away.
* I started making one myself, but I already have too many side projects. Bookwyrm has been mentioned here a few times and looks interesting. I'd looked at other potential replacements before and they all seemed to suffer from not having a good enough database of books.
