TBR jar!

Starting a TBR jar is an exciting and creative way to organize your reading list and keep motivation high throughout the year. I found that by writing down book titles on slips of paper and drawing one randomly, it adds an element of surprise and fun to my reading routine. It’s also a great method to hold yourself accountable and avoid decision fatigue when choosing what to read next. From personal experience, including a variety of genres in the jar — fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, or self-help — can broaden your literary horizons and keep your reading sessions fresh and engaging. You might even discover new favorite authors or unexpected gems. Incorporating crafting into the creation of your TBR jar, such as decorating it with themes or colors, makes this process more personal and enjoyable. It’s a lovely way to combine your love of books and creativity, turning your reading list into an artistic project. If you’re part of a book club or online reading community, sharing your TBR jar selections can spark great discussions and recommendations. Communities like #bookish and #lemon8bookclub offer inspiring ideas and connect you with fellow readers, adding social interaction to your reading goals. Whether you’re trying to read more books this year or simply want a fun way to choose your next read, a TBR jar is a supportive tool that encourages consistent progress and enjoyment. Happy reading!
