I have over a thousand books on my TBR. Granted, around 200 of those are yet to be published, and another 200 are marked “perhaps” (which essentially means I won’t be getting to them any time soon, if ever), but that still leaves 760 to read. I also have a shelf helpfully labelled as “need to read urgently”, though actually adding books to this shelf doesn’t make me read them any sooner (nor the “read next” shelf).
So I’m starting this kind of series to try help myself organise my TBR shelf (and my perhaps shelf too). I don’t quite know how it’s supposed to help, but I guess we’ll get to that in due time.
I thought about sorting my shelf by date added and going through it like that, but that’s actually how I usually go through it, and probably stops me from taking some off. So, instead, I’m going to sort by genre, firstly what’s on my perhaps shelf and secondly, my to read shelf.
Rating system: how motivated am I to read it (/5) x am I actually interested in the premise (/5). Ranges from 1-25. No, there is probably little logic to how I decide which to keep and which to ditch.
