This week's question is: How do you choose the next book to read? (submitted by Elizabeth @ Silver's Reviews)
MY ANSWER: It kind of depends. If I have review books, I try to give those priority. Other times, if I know I am going to an author signing, I will get myself as caught up as possible with that author's series.
If I am falling behind in a challenge I'll try to read a book that will apply to that. Or if there's just a book I am dying to read I will pick that one up!
Other times if I am needing help in deciding what to read, I turn to my TBR jars. Yes, jars!! I have one that has books I want to read right away, one that is for creepy reads, and then my all over TBR jar...which was the original one to begin with! The other two came later!
I have 6 TBR Jars lol
ReplyDeleteHmm. Now that's an idea. Jars for book types... I always dismiss a TBR jar idea because I worry I will pick something I am not in the mood for. But if I had a jar for every genre or type of book...
ReplyDeleteI really should pay more attention to deadlines of review books, but my reading is so often driven by my mood. I hate it when I have to struggle through a review book I am not enjoying, particularly when I know it's my mood that's the problem and not the book. It doesn't seem fair to the book and author. I do try though. I just don't push it.
Have a great weekend!
I thought about doing a TBR jar, but I'm such a mood reader that I don't know if I could do it. I may have to do them for different genres so I can always pick something that I'm in the mood for. Thanks for sharing!

Your approach is honestly the best way to go! Also, everyone's kind of got me wanting to make an effort to make a TBR jar. I always find myself thinking it's a great idea and then it just slips my mind when it comes to actually making one, which is weird.
