But it's super interesting to hear about your system! It is good to trim down a TBR every once in a while though.Hannah Catronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269627136798530048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232637960654702363.post-31912257756096899882020-01-15T09:31:14.728-08:002020-01-15T09:31:14.728-08:00This is such a great perspective.

I do sometimes worry about the books I’ll never get to, especially if they’re recommended by a friend who is waiting for me to read and fan about them with me. But at the end of the day, there are bigger things to focus on, right?<br />For the most part, I base which book I read next on a combination of: what I’m interested in at the moment or what recommendation strikes me the hardest. I also have a pile of books I’ve bought at thrift stores that I’ve never read (part of my plan this year is to read through some of them).<br />I do love that you edit your TBR pile once in a while. I need to do that too, and I think it’s a super helpful way to keep an often overwhelming thing, less overwhelming. <br /><br />Wonderful post as always, Hannah!<br />cheers.<br />k.Keirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10050408453178186105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232637960654702363.post-13145967689240867902020-01-11T11:35:57.198-08:002020-01-11T11:35:57.198-08:00I totally understand how having a smaller TBR list...I totally understand how having a smaller TBR list can be helpful.

If I spend money on a book I want to read and enjoy it. A TBR list has less commitment, you can just add whatever books sound interesting. That's definitely the best way to do it as a mood reader.Hannah Catronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11269627136798530048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232637960654702363.post-82497066838767363022020-01-11T11:30:57.340-08:002020-01-11T11:30:57.340-08:00I love that!

Large lists overwhelm me, therefore lost of the list is also in my head haha. <br />In general I take the time about once a month to find one book I've wanted to read for awhile and get it at my local library or buy it thrift. <3 Kara Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989463309759286352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232637960654702363.post-67854962590319768782020-01-10T16:35:58.550-08:002020-01-10T16:35:58.550-08:00To be completely honest, my TBR on Goodreads is a ...To be completely honest, my TBR on Goodreads is a mess. *hides* I mostly just add any book that "seems interesting" without pausing to check if I'll actually like it. That does have a benefit, though, because when I want to try something new I have a LOT of options. :)<br /><br />This was a super relatable post, though, because I agree that reading everything in your TBR just isn't possible or practical, haha! <3Ash @ Starlight Strandshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158093544209178129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232637960654702363.post-28287349615725106322020-01-10T13:07:29.128-08:002020-01-10T13:07:29.128-08:00My TBR list is a possibility list more than anythi...My TBR list is a possibility list more than anything. When I see books recommended and think I'd like to try them. I can't pull fiction off the shelves or order it without expecting some level of quality, so I need a TBR list for a place to start. I am more likely to find nonfiction I'd be interested in although I struggle at actually reading a lot of it. So I actually need a long list, it's like a narrowing of my choices, but it's still something to choose from rather than a must. I'm very much a mood reader, but I'm trying to make that work or at least not be too dominated by that.Livia Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755623391278276925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6232637960654702363.post-58471590026160192672020-01-10T11:21:38.701-08:002020-01-10T11:21:38.701-08:00I feel this!!

My TBR shelf has a lot of variety on it, and I really like that: it allows me to browse through books I want to read when I'm in a reading slump and pick out a book I'll enjoy! It's a little stressful, yes, but I love it :)Hanne Thttp://losingthebusyness.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
