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:
November 2021 TBR Tackler Shelf:
-
- Memories of Ice by Stephen Erikson
-
- Leviathan Falls by James S.A. Corey
-
- Dragon by Steven Brust
-
- Last Graduate by Naomi Novik
-
- Trouble With Peace by Joe Abercrombie
-
- The Thief Queen’s Daughter by Elizabeth Haydon
-
- King of Ashes by Raymond E. Feist
-
- Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris
-
- A Kiss of Shadows by Laurell K. Hamilton
-
- The Wandering Earth by Cixin Liu
-
- Shadows Past by Lorna Freeman
-
- Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire
Yep, I’m back to setting up a TBR I can’t possibly get through in a month… and I’m quite excited about it. Reading is fun again since I switched up my habits and am now focusing on only one book at a time. Memories of Ice the the only carry-over from last month. And by-far my highest priority this month is Leviathan Falls by James S.A. Corey – it’s the Expanse Finale!!!

I don’t know how you can consume so many books! I know you said you won’t get through these all but, wow! Impressive. Can’t wait for your next review. 👍

Thanks! It helps my case that a lot of these are short. I’ll be lucky to finish three of the bigger ones lol.

What a great list! I think it’s exciting seeing so many titles you can choose from. Glad you have an expectation in advance that you don’t HAVE to read all of them so it doesn’t start to feel like a job. :) Stay cool Niki!

Yes – thank you! That’s exactly what I’m hoping to avoid. Right now looking at all of those potential adventures feels fun! :D
