TGIF is a weekly meme hosted by Ginger over at GReads! She asks a question, and everyone can get involved!
This is my first TGIF! So, naturally, it is a week to go back and revisit a past TGIF. I have none. So I opted to go back and do the very first TGIF question.
Sadly, it was quite specific (and about February), so I decided to do the second question!
Are you an organized reader? Or do you just pick up whatever book sparks your interest at that moment?
I am a little of both. I like to make lists, so I have bunch of "to-read" lists and lists of release dates. That's about where the organization ends.
I pick up whatever sounds good at that moment. I try to rotate between eBooks and print, but really have no system. For example, yesterday I had quite the internal debate on whether to start Anna Dressed In Blood or Darkness Falls, and I have no idea what I will tackle next.
How about you guys? Are you organized readers? Any tips for me?
Much love, Samantha
I have my humongously long list of to-read books on Goodreads, and yet I always find myself picking a book NOT on my list. And then I just add more! I'm way disorganized!
ReplyDeleteNew follower! Love the blog!

I basically gave up on using the "to-read" list on Goodreads. I'll stick to pen and paper!
DeleteI'm like you. I have lists of books I want to read, but that is where my organization ends. I am one of those people who picks up whatever sounds good when it comes to choosing books. I have no idea how people plan out what they are going to read each month.
ReplyDeleteI know, eh? For example, I just finished Darkness Falls, but decided I didn't want to read Anna Dressed in Blood next. I'm now reading Obsidian. Not exactly organized train of thought there...
DeleteLists. I think my relationship with Lists (yeah, capitalized..) is really dysfunctional. I can't do without, and it ain't healthy anymore. :DD

Hahaa, definitely a love/hate thing!
DeleteI usually just fly by the seat of my pants and pick up whatever I feel like reading next! I try to mix in the different genres so I get a little variety in there... I'm going to have to make a list TONIGHT because I just realized I have at least two books that I have to read by next weekend for blog tours and I'm starting a read-along next week too. What did I get myself into?! lol
ReplyDeleteYikes! Good luck! But still, being organized is over-rated! ;-)
DeleteNot at all! My biggest problem is debating on which book to read. Unfortunately, or forturnately, depending on how you look at it, I have too many TBR Books on my Kindle. It's quite sad actually.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good problem to have though! I try to avoid putting new books onto my Kobo until I am reading them.
DeleteI am exactly the same :-) I put them into to read and to read this year but thats it. I rarely go back and check i just pick what interests me at the time to lol.
ReplyDeleteAlso read Anna Dressed In Blood :-)

I promise I will read Anna Dressed in Blood. Unfortunately for it, my copy of Obsidian finally arrived...
DeleteI'm not very systematic about my reading, though that has to change soon since I'll be moving and need to get through all the books I have left in the apartment ;)
