How do you keep track of your TBR pile?
Goodreads. It’s the only way I can keep track as I’d be a mess without it.
Is your TBR mostly print or eBook?
Mostly eBook. Though I do like reading ebooks and print books at the same time. I just bought myself a Kindle and I’m really liking it so I’ll probably go the ebook route from now on unless it’s a book I already own.
How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?
I usually read one Non-Fiction Book, one book for work like Market Research, and one fiction book. Sometimes I read two fiction books at once. Or instead of a fiction book I’ll read another non-fiction book that looks like light reading or something enjoyable.
A book that’s been on your TBR list the longest?
Touch of Dead by Charlaine Harris.
A book you recently added to your TBR?
A Frozen Heart by Walt Disney Company. It’s basically the Frozen novel. I heard it had more than the movie so I was curious.
A book on your TBR strictly because of it’s beautiful cover?
The Blue Diamond by P.S. Bartlett
A book on your TBR that you never plan on reading?
Probably the Holy Bible. I have it on there to skim if I want to and because it was free. Plus, I’ve read most of it and don’t plan on re-reading it with any sort of purpose.
An unpublished book on your TBR that you’re excited for?
Doctor Who: The Legends of Ashildr by various authors. Ever since they announced that this character was getting her own adventure book I was stoked and pre-ordered it right away!
A book on your TBR that everyone has read but you?
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen. It’s the only Jane Austen book I have yet to read. I just haven’t been that excited to read it yet, but I love her work so I’ll get around to it. Honestly, I’d love to find an audio book on it like I did for Persuasion.
A book on your TBR that everyone recommends to you?
The Game of Thrones series. I’ve read the first one and it was dense and took me FOREVER, so it may take me some time to read them. The show is more enjoyable honestly.
A book on your TBR that you’re dying to read?
Allegiant by Veronica Roth. I need to read this before the movie comes out. I will probably start on my holiday break.
How many books are on your Goodreads TBR shelf?
385 and counting!
Please take the challenge if you feel like it!
Cheers,

I too read one Non-Fiction, one “market research”-y book, and one other fiction book a month. Although I tend to keep it “1 classic, 1 modern” as well. My classics teach me how to write, and my moderns show me what to write.
That’s a good system! Mostly my fiction reads are stuff I can read before bed and don’t have to concentrate that much on lol.
A Frozen Heart is in my TBR pile, as well. I remember picking it up the day it came out, but I’m so behind on reading lately that who knows when I’ll actually crack it open, LOL.
And keeping track of your TBR pile through Goodreads sounds smart. I just have a regular, ol’ written list, but it’s been ages since I’ve updated it!
I became interested in A Frozen Heart when I heard there would be more backstory, which the movie sorely needs.
Hopefully the both of us get time this year for our reading lists!
