This
is the TBR (To Be Read) tag. I wasn’t tagged by anybody, but I’ve seen it on a
lot of blogs and wanted to play along. If you’ve done this tag, leave a link in
the comments so I can check out your answers. If you want to do this tag, then
I tag you.
The TBR Tag
1. How do you keep track of your TBR?
I’m
old school. I have a Word document and a notebook next to the computer. I also
have a shelf that is only for unread books.
2. Is your TBR mostly print or ebook?
Print.
I have a Kindle, but I still prefer reading physical books.
3. How do you determine which book to
read next?
Randomly.
The books on my TBR shelf are in a random order. I start at one end of the
shelf and work my way down. Or, if I’m super excited for a book, I’ll read that
one.
4. A book that’s been on your TBR the
longest?
The
Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson.
I think I’ve had those books since March. They’re big, and fantasy isn’t my
favorite genre, so I’ve been avoiding them.
5. A book you recently added to your TBR?
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. I first read this book
when I was 13, but I’ve never owned a copy. I saw one at the grocery store for
25% off and had to get it.
6. A book on your TBR because of its
cover?
Currently,
there aren’t any. I’ve never bought a book for its cover alone. Most of the
books on my TBR right now have boring covers.
7. A book on your TBR that you never plan
on reading?
I
don’t put books on my TBR if I don’t plan on reading them. I guess Lord of the Rings is technically on my
TBR. I’ve been trying to read those books since I was a kid. I’ve never managed
to get through them.
8. An unpublished book sequel on your TBR
that you’re excited for?
The
sequel to A Darker Shade of Magic by
V.E. Schwab.
9. A book on your TBR that everyone has
read but you?
I’ll Give You The Sun by Jandy Nelson. I’ll read it. I swear.
10. A book on your TBR that everyone
recommends to you?
All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. I swear I’ll also
read this one.
11. A book on your TBR that you’re dying
to read?
The Game of Love and Death by Martha Brockenbrough. I’ve wanted to
read this book since it came out. It’s just been sitting on my shelf . . .
12. How many books are on your Goodreads
TBR?
Zero.
I’m the only person in the world who doesn’t use Goodreads for my TBR.
What a great way to read through your TBR! I have a to-read shelf (ok, shelves), too, though it's alphabetized by author's last name, and I pick my next book to read based on my mood. I really should just start at one end and work my way down, though -- I'd probably get through it faster! And I don't know why I even bother with a Goodreads TBR, since it's so long (and always growing) I could never hope to read everything on it...
ReplyDeleteI thought about alphabetizing my shelves because it would be easier to find things, but that seems like too much work. Lol.

Great post, I'm hoping to do it myself sometime (and just maybe it will help me speed up getting through my own TBR!)

I hope you do get a chance to do it.

I love this tag so I'm happy that you decided to do it too :) The Mistborn trilogy is one of my favorites but if you're not that much into fantasy and big books, I can see why you've been avoiding them ;) I know what you mean about LotR too, it took me almost a hundred pages before I could get into it - and even then, it still dragged in some parts. This coming from a HUGE fantasy reader LOL
ReplyDeleteI will eventually read Mistborn. It sounds really good, and everyone loves it.

You need to read Mistborn! I honestly think you'll be surprised. I have several friends who aren't huge fantasy readers but have really enjoyed them.
