You know how it goes. You see a shiny new release on Bookstagram, or you’re browsing your local indie and find a book you just HAVE to have. And then you buy it. Because you wouldn’t just *leave it there,* right?? That’d be so sad! It might get lonely! Even though you already have… how many books at home? Reader, I understand. I’ve been there. Impulse purchasing on bookshop.org/shop/bookbaroness is my new best friend. I have 140 unread books on my shelf. However, amidst all my irresponsible spending and the excitement of new books, I’m gaining a little “shelf awareness,” let's say. Pardon the pun. What I mean is that I’m starting to read the things that I already own! Wow, what a concept! It goes like this: I use a random number generator to pick one of my six shelves, and then another to pick an unread book from that shelf. If I feel like reading it, it goes on the pile. If not, rinse and repeat. I like this method because it draws my attention to books I might otherwise overlook on my shelves, and also allows me some wiggle room to accommodate my mood-reading. Some of my recent reads from using this method include: King of Scars, Skyward, Wicked Fox, The Rattled Bones, and Dance of Thieves. Hopefully I can get from 140 down to 0 within a year or two! How do you choose which books you read?
