Down the TBR Hole #30!

I saw the most AMAZING post from LOST IN A STORY with the most AMAZING idea to help cut down my ridiculously large TBR! Thank you so much for creating this post!!

THIS IS HOW IT WORKS: (straight from original post)

• Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
• Order on ascending date added.
• Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
• Read the synopses of the books
• Decide: keep it or should it go?

Every week I will be going through 10 books on my Goodreads TBR and purging as many as I feel comfortable with. Most likely these posts will go up on a Sunday. Currently I have 226 to go through and this number is always being added to, so hopefully this will help a lot. Here are my next ten books!

The Reading Habits Tag!

Hello everybody!

Today, I’m going to be doing the Reading Habits Book Tag, which I found on Golden Books Girl. Now for the questions!

---

1. Bookmarks or random pieces of paper?

Oh bookmarks, definitely. I have too many bookmarks to count, stored quite messily in the top drawer of my locker.

2. Stop reading randomly or after a chapter/certain amount of pages?

I always aim for a certain page when I pick up, but when I’m really feeling a book and its plot I would keep reading and stop after a chapter!

3. Do you have a certain place at home for reading?

I usually read before going to sleep in my bed at night but recently I’ve started to read on the sofas in my kitchen and living room! I also LOVE reading outside in the sun when the weather’s good. Puts me in such a good mood!

4. Do you eat or drink whilst reading?

Eating, sometimes, but it’s difficult to multitask without getting stains/crumbs on the book. But I love a good cuppa when curled up with a good book.

5. Multitasking: music or TV when reading?

I can do neither. Only really if someone has something on the TV that doesn’t interest me at all.

6. One book at a time or several?

I used to be able to do two/three books at the same time, but now I only read one. Sometimes I’d read an ebook and then a different physical book at the same time, however!

7. Reading at home or everywhere?

I mainly read at home, I think. Sometimes on the train or the bus (I love reading on the plane!!) but I usually find other places/people too distracting.

8. Reading out loud or silently?

Silently.

10. Breaking the spine or keeping it like new?

I absolutely CANNOT break my spine. It really upsets me when I do! It’s why I’m so paranoid to lend books to other people because I just love having all my books in perfect condition.

11. Do you write in your books?

Nope. The only books I’ve ever written in are the ones I studied in school when we had to write in little notes etc.

12. Who do you tag?

Megan, Carrie & Jen.

And from you all, I would love to know some of your bookish habits in relation to these questions. Let me know in the comments below!

Until next time,
