My Monthly TBR List


Hey there!

I don't have a monthly TBR list. I have a TBR bookcase and some overflow next to it but I don't create a list each month with 6 or 7 (or more) books that I plan to read for the month. 

I am very organized in many aspects of my life. I have lists of lists. My grocery list is a must. My work day is planned the evening before and reviewed before lunch. I have a list of car maintenance, a list of nail polish (yes, I have just that much) and a list to do list for the week. 

But I do not have a monthly TBR list. 

You never know how you will feel after you read a book. If it is too heavy, you might want to read a quick romance or a young read. If it was happy and sweet, you might be ready for a steamy read. You might purchase new books or a hot recommendation might come in. If you have a monthly TBR list, it could very easily be compromised. If you are like me, it probably will be compromised. 

Last month I participated in 7in7readathon. It was great. I got to read more books in August than I have in a long time. But, the fluidity of my reading was shot to hell. I purchased several books in August and didn't feel like I could get to them. This month I didn't put any pressure on myself and I can read whatever tickles my fancy. 

So, I have about 100+ books that I need to read. They are on my bookshelf and the floor next to it. I have a general idea what's there. 

But I don't have a monthly TBR list. 


And I don't want one.
