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. 😅

A book that’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. 😆 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An unpublished book on your TBR that you’re excited for

The Scorpion and the Night Blossom by. Amélie 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 you’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. 😅 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.
