I moved last summer, and nothing is more eye opening than having to pack, move, unpack, and organize/enjoy/use what I had, including my books. I discovered the “Reading to Zero” challenge on YouTube and am determined to have zero unread books by the end of this year.
I am going to focus on all my unread books, keeping only the books that I know I will read again. The rest will be donated to little free libraries in my area. With regard to eBooks, if I am going to read it again, I will save it and if not, it will be deleted from my eReader. I am not really worried about eBooks, as they aren’t taking up physical space, but I still need to read what I have before I can justify buying more.
I tried to think of a creative way to decide which book I will read next. Would I create a TBR jar, with each title written on a colorful bit of paper? Make a list, roll the dice, and read the book that matches the number? Alphabetical order according to author’s last name? Start at the top of the book cart and read my way through? In the amount of time that I spent trying to figure this out, I could have read two books. Honestly, I don’t know why I do that to myself.
