I've started doing this and it feels so weird. A lot of them were added based on off hand recs from different social media platforms. I started actually looking up the synopsis of some of them and am realizing I would probably hate the books. Maybe now I will actually get through some of my physical TBR.

Sadly my taste changes all the time but hopefully I can branch out and read more books!!!"Definitely nothing wrong with tastes changing. Mine certainly have since I started my reading journey, doesnβt make it easier being a mood reader. π

I was thinking most of my TBR would be dealt with by completing or moving it to a DNF pile but never really thought Iβd be removing them like this π

Sadly I feel like I havenβt been adding as many books as I used to, I might be nearing another slump π

You need to demand your friends read faster to screen and recommend books! π
I also definitely recommend that "maybe" shelf. It's a psychological game I play with myself but it does feel good to have it anyway.

I wish I could just hook up a USB to my brain and have it create a pile for me of books that fit my tastes ππ
A maybe shelf feels so intimidating to me cos I think Iβd only use that instead of my TBR π

I get it lol. I kind of do a mix but sometimes I do pull more from the maybe shelf cause I'm too curious π
