My TBR Pot

My main book related goal for this year is to try and read as many books that I already have on my bookshelf. In an attempt to try and spend less money on books in 2021 it felt like the perfect solution. I had this beautiful ceramic pot that was gifted to me for my birthday and thought it would be the ideal thing to use to create my new TBR pot.

I started by collating a list on my phone of all the books on my shelf that I either haven’t read before or haven’t read in a very long time.

I then handwrote out all the books making sure to leave enough room for me to be able to cut each one out individually.

Next step was to cut up each book title into little strips. Once all cut up I folded each strip twice so that I couldn’t see what was written on it.

Once all folded I decided to pick my first one out to start reading after I have finsihed my current read. Each time I don’t know what to read I will be sure to be using my TBR pot. I have also sat a smaller pot next to it to put the slips in once I’ve chosen it so at the end of the year I will be able to see just how many books I have read off of my shelves.

How do you effectively tackle the never ending TBR?
