Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about your to be read list…
As a follow up to last week's question, Joseph asked how you keep track of your TBR list. Do you have a paper list or on your computer? Do you take it with you when you go shopping? How do you decide what gets added to it?
As far as TBR list goes, I will take note of the books I want to buy (as well as recommendations from fellow bookbloggers) on a paper list. Though this comes in useful as I can always bring it with me for my book shopping, the only thing is I do not keep track of the books I bought so sometimes I ended up with duplicate copies.
As for deciding which books to be added onto my list, I guess a lot have to depend on the story premise and how my bookbloggers friends feel after reading them. However, there are also times that I will give a book a try even though if it did not receive positive reviews because I am intrigued with the premise and want to read it anyway. Who knows I may end up liking it, right? After all, reading is such a subjective matter.
So do you keep a list? How do you decide what books to add onto your list?
Onto another issue, I sorted and weeded my TBR pile with mixed feelings yesterday. Why the mixed feelings? You may ask. Well, I have not been clearing my pile for some time, so when my husband suggested he would clear some space for my books in our storeroom, I was both so glad and thankful (before that they are stacked into three 'towers'; now one of them are sorted and arranged onto a shelf he had cleared, thank goodness). And the sad thing is, I found out that I had lost interest in some of the books I had acquired over the years (er, no thanks to my current reading mood). So in the upcoming weeks, I will be holding several giveaways of these books so do keep a lookout on them!
