The TBR book tag!

I was tagged by Marian – bookception21 – to do this tag, so thank you very much!

I’ve been trying to avoid writing up my next review and uploading it tonight, because I want to save it for tomorrow, so it was the perfect time for this to come along!

[Also – that’s a heads up. My review for Illuminae will be up tomorrow!]

1. How do you keep track of your TBR pile?

Well…I’m always on Goodreads so there’s a list on there, but I don’t look through it that often. I tend to just remember. I’m like a walking library with the amount of book titles and authors stashed in this head of mine. I do also have a notebook with a 6 paged list of “books I’m going to buy one day” – so there’s that I’m slowly making my way through too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2. Is your TBR mostly print or E-book?

I never read E-books so that question has an easy answer. Print 😀

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3. How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?

By my mood. I switch between which genres I want to read {although it’s fantasy most of the time} so i just pick up whichever book I want to read most at that moment in time. At the moment that mood is SciFi – I’ve just sped through Illuminae and I think I’ll be starting Cress tomorrow. Also if there’s a new book released that I’ve actually managed to get hold of not long after the release date, this will usually be read sooner so that I can write a review for it near to the release date.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

4. A book that has been on your TBR the longest?

These 3 books have been on my TBR for over a year. I Finally own Shadow and Bone and plan on reading it this month though so progress has been made…right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

5. A book you recently added to your TBR?

There’s SO MANY. But for the sake of this post I’ll just show you three.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6. A book strictly on your TBR strictly for it’s cover?

I’d never heard of Revenge of the Wild before but the cover caught my eye so I added it to my TBR (after reading the synopsis, of course). Totally a cover add though.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

7. A book on your TBR that you never plan on reading?

This question doesn’t make sense to me..? A book wouldn’t be on my TBR if I didn’t plan on reading it…You know, with it being a “to be read” list…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

8. An unpublished book on your TBR that you’re excited for?

I was originally going to choose The Song Rising by Samantha Shannon, the 3rd book in The Bone Season series, because I recently read The Mime Order and adored it. Unfortunately, there’s no book cover yet. So instead I’m showing A Gathering of Shadows by VE Schwab!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

9. A book on your TBR that everyone has read but you?

As well as most of the book listed above, here are some more:

(Those books really don’t look good next to each other)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

10. A book on your TBR that everyone recommends to you? 

I bought this book recently so again, progress has been made…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

11. How many books are currently on your Goodreads TBR list?

151. But I’m currently in the middle of massively updating it, so I’ve removed quite a few that I have no interest in reading anymore, and I’m also adding new ones pretty much everyday, so this number will likely change. Also, there are quite a few books that I’m waiting to add, but I don’t add them until the cover had been revealed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So this was quite a spontaneous tag for me to do! The amount of times I had to check my Goodreads account was a little bit ridiculous 😀

Also is it just me, or is that a really random amount of questions? I thought it was going to top at 10, but nope – pop in another bonus question!

Anyway, I tag:

Mallory – The Leaning Tower of Tomes

Becca – Shih Tzu Book Reviews

Windie – Geek Apprentice

So if you guys would like to do this tag (or anyone for that matter) feel free to do so! 😀
