So I just devised an elaborate organization plan to help me get through my TBR cause i realized i own 16 (16!) Unread books. I put a book buying ban on myself till I’ve read every single one of these books. I’ll be reading 3 at the same time no more no less, all of these 3 books will be different vibes/genres from eachother and from the group of 3’s before them. Everytime i finish a group of 3’s i get starbucks or an energy drink as a reward. Will this scheme fail? Probably, idk how efficient reading 3 different books at the time is as opposed to one. How do y’all get through big TBRS?
Typically I only have one or two books waiting TBR, however, sometimes things to pile up. In this case I not only had a bunch of pre-orders release at the same time but I also found some good deal on ebay on books I’d been looking for for a while now. When things do start to pile up I also stop buying books (unless it’s a good deal and I’ll definitely read them later). I also read them first in, first out, unless they need to be read in a specific order.
I tend to read a mix of graphic novels and regular novels so I usually have one of each going at a time. My reward for finishing though is getting to read the next book or, if my TBR is empty, buying more books. :)
