Tackling the TBR [14]: August 2016

It’s once again time for my favorite feature: Tackling the TBR! There’s nothing I love more than picking out which books to read next, and this slightly organized method of reading has really amped my enjoyment to the next level. Bring on the mantras!

Read the best books first.
&
Life is too short to read books you’re not enjoying.

However you put together your TBR for the next month, the goal is to reduce the amount of obligation in reading and increase the fun.

Here’s a look at how the system works:

1. Identify the titles that take top priority in your TBR.
2. Combine them all in your own Tackling the TBR post.
3. Throughout the month pick from that pile as the mood strikes you.

Here’s what mine looks like:

August 2016 TBR Tackler Shelf:

: Tower Lord by Anthony Ryan

: Horde by Ann Aguirre

: The Gate to Futures Past by Julie E. Czerneda

: Reboot by Amy Tintera

: Rebel by Amy Tintera

: United by Melissa Landers

: No Good Dragon Goes Unpunished by Rachel Aaron

: Twisted Citadel by Sara Douglass

: The Obelisk Gate by N.K. Jemison

: Lady Renegades by Rachel Hawkins

I am pretty eager to read all of these, but I think I’m most excited about the latest Czerneda and Aaron books… although I always love Melissa Landers. Either way, anything I pick up from this list is guaranteed to be a good read. :-)

Feel free to share your versions of how you manage your TBR pile (and the links to your posts if applicable) in the comments. Maybe we can help make each other’s systems even better. :)
