What is your intention? If to choose books then name and author. If you want a genre based one then put the genres or subgenres
Not sure. I haven’t done one before so I’m up to any theme ideas or ideas in general.
I leave a few empty pieces in as well that way I can pick anything I might like if I get that piece 🙂
I put the names of my unread ebooks in it because unlike my physical shelves that I can browse to look at those books I haven’t read yet and remember ones I have forgotten about, on my kindle they are out of sight out of mind. But if you are not an e-reader, I would just put all of your unread books in there and just draw them out at random?
The Tea Gardens, The Pearl Thief.
The Memory Keepers Daughter
Love that book!
Mine keeps getting longer, no matter how many I read. Thank God the hubby lets me buy books. Can’t say I’m ever without. And then, whenever I finish I can go to the library, check out some more suggestions and then buy copies of the ones I enjoyed
I had to give up on mine, I would put the paper back in there if it wasn’t the one that I wanted lol which defeats the whole purpose. . Lol
@Melissa I would do the same thing. Don’t like the idea of rules on what I can read!
Doing this has been insanely helpful. Every time I saw it I always thought it was stupid. Until I tried it. Now when I grab stuff I fly through it. I don’t know if it’s the randomness of not knowing what’s next or what, but I’m glad I did.
? Tbr means ” to be read” — soooooo put names of books you plan to read on snippets of paper, and put them in a jar..then grab one out of the jar randomly…and read the book that is listed on that slip of paper…?
I think she wanted examples of books to put in it ??♀️
BAHAHAHAHA!!! I was thinking it 😛 😉
@Cassandra well good exampkes ARE all ,ormany of the books you have that are unread.
If you have a different reading goal, you can put several slips for that in the jar.
For example; I want to read biographies of all the US presidents in order of office, so I would put three or four slips in the jar with “Presidential Biography” on them. =)
You could also put other non-specific slips in with things like “Oldest Unread Book”.
