The “TBR” Book Tag

It is Tuesday that means it is time for a tag! I was trying to find one and when scrolling through Kayla’s Booktube channel, I found this one! Since we are so close to the end of the year, I just wanted something quick and easy. This seemed the best option.

Question One:
How do you keep track of your TBR pile?
I try to keep track of them all on my actual GoodReads to-be-read shelf but not all of my books are on there. Other than that, I just keep a mental note since all of my books are organized by series or genre.

Question Two:
Is your TBR mostly print or ebook?
97% of my TBR is print. I do have some eBooks but not many.

Question Three:
How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?
Normally, I plan out a TBR based on what my mood wants to read but I do tend to try to finish series I have in progress. It also depends on what readathon I am working on during that month.

Question Four:
A Book That’s Been On Your TBR List The Longest?
According to GoodReads, the first book I added to my To-Be-Read list is Attachments by Rainbow Rowell.

Question Five:
A Book You Recently Added To Your TBR?
The last book I added to my TBR, before adding my recently hauled books, is The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager.

Question Six:
A Book In Your TBR Strictly Because Of Its Beautiful Cover?
The first book that comes to mind is The Lantern’s Ember by Colleen Houck. I have many but I think this is my favorite, hence why it is often the answer to questions like this.

Question Seven:
A Book On Your TBR That You Never Plan on Reading?
I currently have All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven on my TBR list but I have the feeling after everything I have heard about it, it is not a book I am hurrying to get to any time soon.

Question Eight:
An Unpublished Book On Your TBR That You’re Excited For?
Curses and Kisses by Sandhya Menon comes out in February 2020 and it is a book I have wanted to get to. It is a contemporary Beauty and the Beast retelling.

Question Nine:
A Book On Your TBR That Basically Everyone’s Read But You
A Curse So Dark and Lonely is a book that I feel like everyone in the book community has read but me. Hopefully I can get to it before the sequel comes out next year.

Question Ten:
A Book On Your TBR That Everyone Recommends To You
Bring Me Their Hearts by Sara Wolf is a relatively unknown book in the community but I have had a couple friends read and tell me that it is one that I would enjoy. It is on the list of series I want to start in 2020 so I might get to it sooner rather than later.

Question Eleven:
A Book On Your TBR That You’re Dying To Read
There are many books I want to read on my TBR but when I feel like after I get through Capturing the Devil later this week, I will be in the mood for books with science and historical elements. I want to pick up Cadaver and Queen by Alisa Kwitney. This is also a Frankenstein retelling.

Question Twelve:
How many books are on your TBR shelf?
According to GoodReads, I have 300 books on my TBR but I feel like after unhauling some books and hauling other books, I have anywhere between 250 and 350.

Taylor’s Weekly TBR 12.09.19

Hello everyone! Instead of boring you with excuses for why there have been no posts, we will just dive right on into what couple of books I want to work on this coming week!

Firstly, I would like to finish Kingsbane by Claire Legrand. I was listening to this as an audiobook and I was really enjoying it but the load expired and I am now on a wait list to finish it. I am currently on page 472 of 587 so I have a little over 100 pages before I finish it. So, fingers are crossed that I manage to get this finished before the end of this week.

While I do not have any plans for an audiobook this week, I am about to open up Libby and see what I can find from the couple of libraries I have access to. I would like to be caught up on the Shatter Me series so I found and borrowed the audiobook for Defy Me which is the fifth book in the series by Tahereh Mafi.

Thinking about the books I have on my shelves that I would like to start at the end of the week, my brain went straight to Capturing the Devil by Kerri Maniscalco. This is the final book of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series and I am hoping to wrap up a couple series this month and this is one so it would be perfect to start at the end of the week.
