So when I pick books from my Netgalley TBR I use random number generator, its a fun way of picking books because I don't know what I'll get util I find the number that is picked.
Link to the random number generator I use:
Here's how I do it:
1: make a list of all your books on your TBR, or a goodreads shelf: ( Me I have a google speed sheet that has all my Netgalley TBR list it )
2: random number generator : top number is 1 bottom number is how mane books is on my list
3 : Hit the number generator as many times as you want ( me I some times it up to 5 times ) , and what ever number comes up ( write down the numbers ) those are the numbers I go look for .
4 Go to your shelf / google sheet and find the numbers ( me I high light the books with a color ) and I go and make them as reading on my Goodreads .
5: after I read one or all of them I then go and remove them from my list and add them to my Netgalley read shelf, then I just cut and past and move the un read books up to the numbers that don't have books beside them,
Now There are a few rules to this :
If a number comes up and its part of a series I'll do this:
1: if its lets say book in a series and its the only one I have then I'll read it
2: if its a book in a series and I have at least read book 1 then I'll pick up the next book in the series and put back on my TBR the one that came up
or 3 if its a series I have and I haven't start it then I'll pick up the first book and read it , and leave the one that came up on my TBR,
Now on to June's TBR ( some will be the same and others with be different) plus I'm also doing a book bingo in one of my goodreads groups so that book is picked every Tuesday

ReplyDeleteI use to do it that way but it got to the point that it was starting to stress me out ,glad it works for you .
DeleteI'm with DJ, have so many books booked in that I have to go with what is first in that month to keep up.
ReplyDeleteFor me using the random number generator helps me pick up books (Netgalley) that I might not get to soon, plus it helps me get to books that I still have from last .
DeleteI love how you have made choosing a book a fun thing. I work on deadlines and I’m so far behind on ARCs I’ve almost given up.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much ,it's a fun way because I never know what's coming up
