The TBR Book Tag!

Hi everyone! I haven’t done a book tag in so long but I saw this one on Leslie’s blog Books Are the New Black and I thought okay, I think it’s time for me to really take a look at my TBR list. Scary thought huh?! lol…

Here are the questions:

How do you keep track of your TBR pile?

Um…Goodreads? LOL…I will confess, I add titles to Goodreads but never check on it ever. I’d also say I have a mental list of books I want to read and when I see it come up somewhere I remember it’s on my list. Also, because I do a new release post on my blog, I keep a written log of when books are being released, so that’s part of my TBR list also.

Is your TBR mostly print or e-book?

It’s mostly e-books because it’s easier for me to read e-books at night. But I have a very small TBR list of print books that I want to get for my bookshelf and these are usually the pretty books with sprayed edges or a whole complete series I’ve been wanting to get.

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

Good question. I’m a mood reader so that is what determines any book I read but if I get a backlist book from the library, I try to read that first because I have a time limit. Unfortunately, there are a lot of books on my physical book shelf that I own, that I haven’t read and are on my TBR list. ๐Ÿ˜…

A book thatโ€™s been on your TBR the longest

A Darker Shade of Magic by. V.E. Schwab has been on my Goodreads list for the longest time and I even have a physical copy of it on my book shelf. ๐Ÿ˜† I don’t know why I haven’t read it yet!

A book that you recently added to your TBR

The Jasad Crown by. Sara Hashem. It has a cover! I’m excited to read this sequel to The Jasad Heir.

A book on your TBR you strictly bought because of the beautiful cover

I saw it at Barnes and Noble and on the whim just bought it because of the cover. It’s gorgeous!

A book on your TBR you never actually plan on reading

I added Ninth House by. Leigh Bardugo because of the hype I think but I don’t think I will ever read it.

An unpublished book on your TBR that youโ€™re excited for

The Scorpion and the Night Blossom by. Amรฉlie Wen Zhao looks amazing. I’m tempted to buy the hardcover but I just got approved for the arc so I’m excited to read this one!

A book on your TBR that basically everyone has read except you

A Sky Beyond the Storm by. Sabaa Tahir is the book I need to read to finish the series but the more time goes on I keep putting it off because now I feel like I need to start from the beginning to remember all the details from the previous books. I really should just do it.

A book on your TBR that everyone recommends

I see Legends & Lattes by. Travis Baldree on different blogs a lot! I still have to read it.

A book on your TBR that youโ€™re just dying to read

Onyx Storm by. Rebecca Yarros and I hope it’s better than book two which I didn’t love. I didn’t hate it but it was just okay. Just a few more months for this one!

The number of books on your Goodreads shelf

It says I have 627 which is WRONG, but I actually have to switch a bunch of them to “Read”. It just takes so long. ๐Ÿ˜… Actually, after doing this post I’m very motivated to clean up that list so I think that’s what I’ll do right now.

  1. That’s a lot of books on your GR list. I always forget to add books to mine so I end up forgetting about them. I love the Darker Magic series by V E Schwab so hope that you get around to reading it soon.

    1. I have been going through my list (patting myself on the back lol) and I have deleted so many titles – titles I have read as an ebook but for some reason have them as “want to read” as a hardcover. Or just titles I read long ago but never marked as read. It feels good to clean up my list finally!

  2. Yay, I loved your answers! I haven’t read Sky Beyond the Storm, but I plan to once the hold comes through the library! I’ve been putting it off for years.
