Randomizing my TBR #38 | May 12th, ’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?! 🫣 We just love books so much okay.. and every day there keeps being published and… yeah i’m never going to be under 1000s at this point.

So anyway- truth be told we may see doubles as at this point I don’t quite rememeber what books we’ve seen on before.. and hey, I can always change my mind and remove them after all!

 

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 “dark”, and I choosed to be shown “pub date: earliest first”. I will then proceed to take the first 10 it gives me.
