Book Tags

down the TBR hole [tag]

Sarah

Alright y’all, I’m pulling this tag from what the log had to say! Overall a good tag, I gotta go through my TBR to weed stuff out more!

The rules:

  • Go to your goodreads to-read shelf.
  • Order on ascending date added.
  • Take the first 5 (or 10 if you’re feeling adventurous) books
  • Read the synopses of the books
  • Decide: keep it or should it go?

Here we go!

Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay
Yes yes yes yes I’ve still been meaning to read this so bad.

Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel
I still absolutely need to read this.

Syllabus: Notes from an Accidental Professor by Lynda Barry
Meh, it’s still a cool concept, but I don’t think I’m as into it as I was before. I’ll take it off for now.

Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins by Emma Donoghue
Pretty sure there’s some lgbtq stuff going on here, so it’s gotta stay!

Kraken: The Curious, Exciting, and Slightly Disturbing Science of Squid by Wendy Williams
I’m pretty obsessed with cephalopods, so this also has to stay.

Goodreads Shelves — How do you use them?

Sarah

I recently (read as: today) delved into the world of Goodreads Shelves. Of course, I regularly use my read/to-read/currently reading shelves, but I’ve never branched out further than that. Today, at the behest of Goodreads itself, I made a “favorites” shelf. Then I decided to make a “to re-read” shelf too! My next big project will likely be a “owned but unread” shelf, to keep track of the books in my physical TBR pile/shelf/I’m really not organized enough to keep them all in one place.

So how about the rest of you? How do you use your Goodreads shelves? How many do they have, how do you decide what goes where? I love organization, so any ideas and suggestions you all have would be welcome!
