Make a TBR jar!

I swear I constantly see a book and buy it and it goes on my shelf because I am already reading something else. Once that book is finished I am at a loss of what to read because I have so many choices and end up buying something else someone recommended instead. Rather than stop buying books, which of course I can’t do because I am a book dragon and books are my hoard, I made a TBR jar. Cut strips of paper, wrote all my unread books on the slips and tossed them in my jar so now when I finish a book I can go to my jar and pull out what book I will be reading next! #tbr #tbrjar #whattoreadnext #pickabook #lemon8bookclub #lemon8diarychallenge #bookdragon #lemon8contest

If you often find yourself unsure of what to read next, creating a TBR (To Be Read) jar is an engaging and effective solution to streamline your reading choices. This simple project not only declutters your bookshelf but also adds an element of excitement to your reading routine. To start, write down the titles of your unread books on small slips of paper. You can choose to include books you've recently purchased, borrowed, or even titles that have been on your list for a while. Once you have a good number of slips, place them in a decorative jar or container. This TBR jar will serve as your personalized recommendation system! Whenever you finish a book, simply pull a random slip from your jar to determine your next read. This method not only reduces decision fatigue but also encourages you to explore different genres, authors, and themes. Additionally, consider adding a festive touch to your TBR jar. Decorate it with stickers, drawings, or colors that resonate with your personality or reading preferences. For seasonal themes, you might even incorporate holiday-specific books, making it a delightful yearly tradition. Don't forget to keep your TBR jar updated! Regularly add new titles as they catch your interest or are recommended by friends and fellow readers. Embrace your identity as a book dragon by expanding your collection while enjoying the surprise of choosing your next book from your jar. Happy reading!
