Books That I Own But Have Not Read
Dec. 22nd, 2021 01:50 pmDoing these posts on Tumblr is really fucking annoying so I'm gonna start doing them here for ease of formatting!
Here, as of 2/4/2024, is a list of all the books I own that I have not yet read.
My solution is simple: a shortlist of up to ten books that I draw from. I read a book, I can add another book to that list, but it can't hold more than 10 books at a time. And at least half the books on that list have to be ones I own but haven't gotten around to. It's a lot easier to pick from a list of ten than it is to pick from a list of three hundred!
I have a spreadsheet where I track everything I read, maintain said list, and where I keep a list of every book I own. But although it's color-coded in a way that makes it easy to tell which books I've read, I still think a list of books I haven't read and owned would be useful, plus loading that spreadsheet is dire because it's so big. (Also, I want to be able to link to this list in my reading update posts so that the minuscule number of people who read them can recommend me things!)
