Here’s my original fall/winter TBR’s updated percentage complete and the books I’ve added for my new TBR and which books are on deck.
- Book Club November Book: A Serial Killer’s Daughter: My Story of Faith, Love, and Overcoming – Done
- A past Book Club book that I missed: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo – Not Yet Started
- A Manga that I purchased and haven’t started The Witch and the Beast, Vol. 1 – Not Yet Started
- Loved Book #1: Gabriel Allon #2 The English Assassin – Not Yet Started
- Started but never finished: The Circle #2 The Every – Done
- Started but never finished: A Marriage of Inconvenience: The Persecution of Ruth and Seretse Khama – Done
- Loved books 1&2: The Collector #3 The Summer Children – Done
- Loved book #1: Crazy Rich Asians # China Rich Girlfriend – Done
- Book Club January Book: Ask for Andrea – Done
- 2nd time reading, Book Club February Book: Killer on the Road: Violence and the American Interstate – Not Yet Started
With six done, and having pulled the Gabriel Allon series for now, I have whittled down my TBR to:
I am prioritizing finishing any series that I have enjoyed so far, as long as there is a “mageable” nmber of them; I don’t know what constitutes manageable, but The Gabriel Allon series has 22. They are not quick reads for me, so I would like to clear more of my queue and have time to decide how best to approach this long series; one book per 5 book TBR? One every other currently reading book? TBD.
- A past Book Club book that I missed: The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo – Not Yet Started
- A Manga that I purchased and haven’t started The Witch and the Beast, Vol. 1 – Not Yet Started
- 2nd time reading, Book Club February Book: Killer on the Road: Violence and the American Interstate – Not Yet Started
Two more down, three to go. Up next is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.
I have decided not to add more books to my TBR. I set five as the (new) limit on my TBR and have five “On Deck“. I would also like to clear the TBR, then move on-decks into that list; with the exception being book club books as necessary. Here are my books on deck.
- Loved books 1&2: The Collector #4 The Vanishing Season
- March Book Club: Man-Eater: The Terrifying True Story of Cannibal Killer Katherine Knight
- The Three-Body Problem
- A gift from my husband: The Fragile Threads of Power
How many books do you have on your TBR? How do you decide which one(s) to read next? Do you keep a short-list of books you want to prioritize? How much of a series do you read in a row? Do you have a limit to how long a series can be before you commit to it?
Interested in your input to improve my lists, too!
