Having a big TBR pile is one of those things that comes with
being a booklover, especially after finding booktube and other book blogs.
There are so many books out there in this world that is’ hard to escape them.
As a person who reads a big selection of genres, I kind of
have a serious problem. But that is where #ProjectTBR comes in – I’m not going
to explain it in this post, instead just watch this video I made about
it.
Since I have more time/space here, I’m going to talk a
little about some goals within the project.
By July/August 2015 (which is when I leave for the exchange
I mentioned), I’d like to be able to fit all of my TBR books onto the one
bookshelf. Currently, my books are spread over four different bookshelves in my
house – they’re mixed in with my read books, as well the (very) few books that
my dad and brother own. I’d like them to all fit in the one bookshelf in my
room.
I’m going to implement the ’10 for 1’ rule. Basically, for every
ten books I read (only from the books I own, so no library books) I’m allowed
to buy 1. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stick to this, but I’m going to try
anyway.
Finally, I also want to use the ‘100 page’ rule, meaning if
I’m reading a book – if I’m not enjoying it by page 100 and I have no
motivation to continue, then it’s getting added to my unhaul pile.
So there you go! Those are my goals for #ProjectTBR. Are any
of you joining in?
