Lol my tbr list is long af

2024/5/13 Edited to

... Read moreAs a dedicated #kindlegirlie, I totally get the struggle of a 'TBR list that's long af'! There's nothing quite like the thrill of discovering new books and adding them to your ever-growing digital library, especially when you're reading on a trusty Kindle device, seeing all those enticing book covers ready for your next adventure. Sometimes, certain books just explode in popularity and everyone starts searching for them online. A title like 'Why Men Love Bitches' by Sherry Argov, for instance, often generates a lot of buzz and lands on many readers' radars, curious about its insights into relationships and self-worth. It's natural to look for popular reads, whether they're about self-improvement, thrilling fantasy like 'Kings in Chaos', or intriguing tales such as 'My Guardian Demon'. If you're on the hunt for these popular titles or just looking to expand your reading without breaking the bank, there are plenty of legitimate ways to access books online. Many readers find great success with local library apps like Libby or OverDrive, which allow you to borrow ebooks for free straight to your Kindle. Amazon's Kindle Unlimited offers a vast selection for a monthly subscription, while platforms like Project Gutenberg provide thousands of public domain classics. Always look out for free samples or author promotions too! It’s all about finding those gems to keep your TBR list thriving ethically. Managing such an epic TBR list is an art form in itself! I often categorize my books – some for cozy nights, others for thought-provoking discussions, and some just for pure escape. Tracking my reading progress on my Kindle, seeing that '37% progress' or '7 mins left in chapter,' is always a little win. But let's be real, reading through a long list isn't always easy. We've all had those moments, haven't we? You're completely immersed in a fascinating chapter, maybe about some intense injuries your favorite character is facing, and then someone starts talking to you! It’s just like that meme – you just want to read in peace! Finding dedicated reading time amidst daily distractions is a constant challenge. Whether it's setting aside a specific hour, taking your Kindle on your commute, or simply cherishing those quiet moments before bed, every little bit helps in chipping away at that glorious pile. What are your best tips for tackling a long TBR list and finding those perfect reads?

HOW TO: to make a TBR list on your kindle 🌿✨🫶
If you’re like me you have a whole library of borrowed books, books you’ve read and want to read again, books you want to write notes one, books you’ve bought- and it would be nice to sort them. Or maybe you have a ton of different genres and you’d like to sort by genre. I’ve included above
