Heylo!
We’re finally here with the twentiest post of trying to shrink my TBR! Can you believe it ?! We started on this journey maybe 3-4months ago now.. and we got barely anything to show for it 🤣
Adding new books onto TBRs are so addictive!! But hey, atleast we are removing old ones we barely remember to make place for new ones, right.. would you imagine the numbers of books on my list if we hadn’t? 👀
This TBR game/whatever you wanna call it – is entirely my own idea (though the concept of TBR games are not original). You are more than welcome to do it yourself, but I would like credit; @DBsguidetothegalaxy.
- The Steps; Go to your want-to-read shelf. Click to show 10 books (for Goodreads, that’s down at the bottom).Also on Goodreads, click to sort the books by random.
Now you have 10 random books!Decide what to do with them – remove, read right now, or just… leave it on the tbr shelf lol. What I did which isn’t very smart, lol, is create two additional tbr shelves.
So, because I use Storygraph, mine will be done a bit different.. as it doesn’t allow me to randomize 10 books just yet. So today’s mood will be “reflective”, “fiction”, and I choosed to be shown “pub date: earliest first”. I will then proceed to take the first 10 it gives me.

Have you read any of those?
Bunch you’re removing! Yay! Haven’t read any of them but I know Tash Hearts Tolstoy was popular back in the day. Also everyone loves A.S. King so hopefully that book will be good.
Yes tash was one I found on tumblr waaay back – one of the first i knew had asexual rep.
Love this idea! I find I’ve gotten much pickier over the years, but I do enjoy a good culling of my TBR.
Most of the ones I added in my early days of blogging I dont even remember ahah 🫣
