TBR Book Tag

I was tagged by Sifa on Sifa Elizabeth Reads quite a while ago so sorry for being extremely slow but I finally made myself sit down and choose my answers! Check out Sifa's great answers here.

How do you keep track of your TBR pile?

I have lots of 'want to read' on Goodreads and Storygraph but I keep my physical unread books on a separate shelf, away from all my read books.

Is your TBR mostly print or e-books?

Print, I do have lots of unread books on my kindle but I don't like reading ebooks so I don't really count them any more. I also have some books that I want to listen to and I'm waiting for them on my library apps.

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

I love doing readathons so prompts help me choose a lot of the time. Sometimes a friend wants to buddy read or I have something due back to the library, otherwise it's just by my mood. Currently not participating in anything and it's kind of nice to just read whatever I feel like in the moment. But if anyone has any recommendations for upcoming readathons, then please let me know!

A book that’s been on your TBR the longest

Sooooo many I have no idea which is the oldest, but here are just a few. The Next Together by Lauren James, The Smoke Thieves by Sally Green, The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto by Mitch Albom and State of Sorrow by Melinda Salisbury.

A book that you recently added to your TBR

I tried not to answer this till the last minute as I am constantly adding books. New from a favourite author, seen on Twitter or Instagram, mentioned in conversation, seen someone else reading, spotted in a library or bookshop. I just picked up my library hold of The Coldest Touch by Isabel Sterling.

A book on your TBR you strictly bought because of the beautiful cover

I literally bought A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal because of the cover and sprayed edges. I had seen it around and wasn't convinced until I saw the special edition, then suddenly HAD to have it. And I am so glad, I really enjoyed it!

A book on your TBR you never actually plan on reading

It is currently so long that there are probably quite a few I will never get to in my lifetime (unless I find the Philosopher's Stone) but just can't bring myself to remove them from the list.

I was going to say Anna O by Matthew Blake, I was sent this lovely copy by accident and didn't really think it was for me. However when I picked it up now to take a photo, I read the blurb again and it does sound really good! So... instead I will say some of my netgalley books that I requested ages ago when I just used to go wild on there and now I realise they don't actually sound that interesting.

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

Dragon Riders of Roar by Jenny McLachlan. I really enjoyed the others in the series and was so happy to find that a new one was coming out. I am currently reading it and liking it just as much as the others.

A book on your TBR that basically everyone had read except you

Heartstopper by Alice Osman. I found this copy in a hotel but haven't gotten to it yet. I do love graphic novels so need to give it a try.

A book on your TBR that everyone recommends

I remember really enjoying The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and have seen The Starless Sea recommended many times. However, I'm a little afraid that I won't enjoy it as much, particularly as my tastes have changed in all the time that has passed.
