Randomizing my TBR #37 | April 24th, ’25
Hey friends!
We reached the 30th post of theses!! How bonkers- especially how I keep adding books, so no real dent can be seen?! š«£ We just love books so much okay.. and every day there keeps being published andā¦ yeah iām never going to be under 1000s at this point.
So anyway- truth be told we may see doubles as at this point I donāt quite rememeber what books weāve seen on before.. and hey, I can always change my mind and remove them after all!

This TBR game/whatever you wanna call it ā 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;Ā Go to your want-to-read shelf. Click to show 10 books (for Goodreads, thatās 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 ā remove, read right now, or justā¦ leave it on the tbr shelf lol. What I did which isnāt very smart, lol, is create two additional tbr shelves.
So, because I use Storygraph, mine will be done a bit different.. as it doesnāt allow me to randomize 10 books just yet. So todayās mood will be ādarkā,Ā and I choosed to be shown āpub date: earliest firstā. I will then proceed to take the first 10 it gives me.

As you know, iām not a fan of series.. so anything in a serie, iām removing. Iām also not a fan of short stories anymore- unless weāre talking true crime. Most of these has been from so far away I didnāt remember any!
Ā
Have you read any of those?
Exactly the case with me! there’s just too many books lol and I want to read them all. Look at you go!! Clean sweep! I do want to read Before I Let Go but I understand why just removing everything is a good idea.
If I have #2 or 3 of a series on my tbr it’s because I’m reading it soon. Most of the time when I’m reading a series I’ll only have the first book on my tbr. But also that’s because it’s a new series so that’s all that’s out. But also because I don’t want extra books on my tbr haha
Right? š ironically I do have one of VE swab no.2 book on there but ithink i can read it fine as a standalone (i just want the catacombs part!)
