It's so easy to get caught up in the new books & pass up what I already own but I have culled my books regularly and feel like I really do only own books I do want to read.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057271795590627394.post-17317211021389282602019-02-04T12:55:25.745-05:002019-02-04T12:55:25.745-05:00I used to enjoy the What's In A Name? challeng...I used to enjoy the What's In A Name? challenge but it appears to not be running this year so I've made the decision that other than GoodReads I won't be participating in any challenges this year until your Christmas spirit challenge that is.Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9057271795590627394.post-89004493223883786652019-02-03T23:56:27.485-05:002019-02-03T23:56:27.485-05:00It's a great idea to think through your readin...It's a great idea to think through your reading strategy periodically. What you share makes a lot of sense! Any system, such as the one you've devised, is rejuvenating to the TBR stack-on-the-desk problem. A nice combination of variety and surprise to reset and refresh the process of book choice and goal setting. <br /><br />My own reading has gotten pretty desultory. I have my finger in a LOT of books at the same time (endless supply of bookmarks!) and get to the finish line with them at irregular intervals. Our book club is one of my few motivators to read a book in a month--a refreshing deadline for me. When I was writing chapters or reviews on a deadline, I kept up a fast reading and note-taking pace and pushed the limits on what I could read and absorb. Now I savor and read as slowly as needed, given all of life's demands. A bigger problem for me is where to put the books! I have culled my books and donated many to our library sale, but I still have way too many piles on the floor! :)<br />Best of luck with your delightful Book Jar Project!Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00187517182328614133noreply@blogger.com
