I look at my lists and I'm like, "I don't want to read any of this." and then proceed with something that I bought a millenia ago. Haha. I do need to change this though because my review backlog is getting longer by the minute!<br /><br />Faye at <a href="http://thesocialpotato.maryfaye.net" rel="nofollow">The Social Potato</a>Faye M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01482378962410177583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176103200738448185.post-27162452041664072042014-10-29T21:24:23.846+01:002014-10-29T21:24:23.846+01:00I have a lot of unread books on my bookshelves.

I will just NOT read the book I picked (almost out of spite?) and I end up just staring at my bookcase for a long time!

As I take on more books I fill them in until I have 3 or 4 a week and then don't accept any more for that month. Since I review 4-5 books a week this leaves me room for random reads, TBR pile, purchases, surprise books etc. This works for me simply because I read and schedule 4 weeks out. So When I began reading November reviews, books etc I started the second week of October, and I simply pick from the month November based on my mood. I like to read review books during the week and books from my piles on the weekends.

As much as I love to make lists, I have never thought about making one for books to read next (and I'm pretty sure that even if I made one, I wouldn't even respect it :D ). So, when I don't know what to read next, I just stand in front of my bookshelves and skim through my books until I find THE ONE.
