TAG: The TBR Book Tag |

This tag originally came from Rachel at A Perfection Called Books and Dana at Dana Square over a year ago but I’ve seen it floating around again lately and it looked like a fun one.

How do you keep track of your TBR pile?

Goodreads! I have two exclusive shelves “tbr wishlist” and “tbr owned” and that’s where I add all of my tbr books. The “to read” shelf is mostly graphic novels (which I never purchase) to keep them separate from my wishlist books.

Here’s how I keep my shelves organized:

Is your TBR mostly print or ebook?

I don’t have an ereader (I read ebooks on my phone), so I usually only buy print books unless I’m reading something from NetGalley or I bought an ebook at a great price. I have been considering purchasing an ereader more and more lately. If you have one, let me know what kind and if you like it! I’ve realized that I really dislike the e-ink readers, which is annoying since they’re so much cheaper I wish I hadn’t given my old iPad to my mom because I LOVE that it scrolls in iBooks, and no other ereader has that capability as far as I know.

How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?

I have a smallish bookcase next to my bed that doubles as a nightstand and I cycle out the books on it every month or two based on what I’m in the mood for. I am a huge mood reader! I also keep a stack of books on top of that bookcase that is my more immediate TBR. I am always reading way too many books at once, so when I get tired of something, I just pick up another book on my stack.

Here’s what is on my nightstand at the moment. The left stack is mostly books from my Secret Sister that I want to read ASAP, and the right stack is my TBR for the Anti Bullying Readathon next week.

A Book That’s Been On Your TBR List The Longest

The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson

I’ve had this on my TBR for at least 5 years, and I’m still really interested in reading it but I’m never in the mood.

A Book You Recently Added To Your TBR

Becoming Nicole by Amy Ellis Nutt

I won this one in a giveaway recently, and I’m impatiently waiting to receive it so I can read it soon.

A Book In Your TBR Strictly Because Of Its Beautiful Cover

Trial by Fire and Firewalker by Josephine Angelini

I had taken these off my TBR after seeing all the lackluster reviews, but as soon as I saw these beautiful UK covers I had to have them. I ordered them both and put the series back on my TBR.

A Book On Your TBR That You Never Plan on Reading

Under the Dome by Stephen King

I received this in a trade last spring, and I had been planning to read it at the time. Since then, a friend has told me some really gory details about it, and since I’m not typically into horror, I’m not going to read it now.

An Unpublished Book On Your TBR That You’re Excited For

(not the actual cover)

A Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J. Maas

ACOTAR has been my favorite read of 2015 so far, and I CANNOT WAIT to read the next book in the series.

A Book On Your TBR That Basically Everyone’s Read But You

The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski

I own the first and second book in the series, and I’ve heard amazing things. I keep putting it at the top of my TBR and then I get distracted by other books 😦

A Book On Your TBR That Everyone Recommends To You

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

EVERYONE talks about this series. I can’t believe I haven’t read it yet. I have no excuse.

A Book On Your TBR That You’re Dying To Read

Find Me by Romily Bernard

My Secret Sister sent me this one in September and said they really enjoyed it. I’ve been wanting to read it ever since then. I really want to catch up this month on all the great books they have sent me!

How many books are on your Goodreads TBR shelf?
