What should I read next Off of my physical TBR? 🫶

5/8 Edited to

... Read moreIf you're anything like me, your physical TBR (to-be-read) pile can quickly become overwhelming. I’ve found that creating mini reading challenges helps me make consistent progress while enjoying a variety of genres and authors. For instance, I like starting with a New York Times bestseller or a highly recommended title from popular reading communities like #booktok. From the OCR content, titles such as Rina Kent’s 'God of War, God of Pain, God of Malice' and Elle Kennedy's 'Opp-Campus' series are great picks for those who enjoy gripping romance and dramatic twists. Similarly, authors like Emily Henry offer heartfelt contemporary stories that make perfect weekend reads. One tip I swear by is to categorize your TBR books by mood or genre. This way, you can pick what fits your current vibe—whether you want intense thrillers, light-hearted romance, or fantasy escapes. Also, mixing well-known bestsellers with hidden gems keeps things exciting. Finally, consider swapping physical books with friends or visiting local bookstores’ recommendation sections to discover new favorites. Remember, reading should bring joy, so don’t pressure yourself to finish books that don’t resonate with you. Embrace your TBR as a collection of adventures waiting to happen, and choose your next read with excitement and curiosity.
