I have what I call “the jar of indecision” I write down maybe fifteen books on my unread shelf, separate them from the rest of the unread shelf and whenever I can’t decide what to read that’s what I pick from

It is usually hard…. look for your favourites and re-read them or look for books that are out of your usual genre??

Sometimes I give myself a break, but if I feel like I’m slipping into a slump I have my husband pick something off my shelves for me at random. It has mixed results.

i’ll usually just bookmark the page and put the book to the side until one day I go “I wanna continue this again.” If I can’t figure out what book to read in between then, I’ll just give myself a break until I find something that sparks my interest

Choose 5 or more books, read the first chapter of each, and the one that interests me most is my next read.

Look over the shelves full of so far unloved and unread books and decide I don’t want to read any of them. Look at library offerings and decide nothing appeals. Order a new book or two or three and wait for them to arrive possibly reading one of those other unloved books or something I have already read while I wait, lol.

Pick a few from my tbr stack that are probably a different genre from what I just finished, to some extent, then check them out on Goodreads and go from there.

If I’m reading on my e-reader I go to my full library, close my eyes, scroll it back and forth several times and then put my finger on the screen and open my eyes. Whatever it’s on, I read. (Or start at the beginning of the series if applicable)

I have a TBR shelf in my bedroom, the rest of my shelves are in a different room. I try to pick from those first, although if I have something particular in mind I’ll get it from the library.
