Death by Demo

I know this is kind of late but I‘m reading this one still. I started it for #20in4 but I didn‘t finish it. I only read it for 2.5hrs.

dabbe Reading should never really be on a deadline, right? š¤©š¤£š¨ 12mo

Q84 @dabbe I guess. I have deadlines for everything but lately havenā€t been meeting them. Some of them are because of library loan due dates and others like this one are ARCs and I like to get them reviewed before launch date but I am definitely behind. Now I feel I need to catch up. It‘s a never ending battle. (edited) 12mo

Q84 @TheAromaofBooks I know I need to. That‘s probably one of the reasons I haven‘t been reading much. Like I‘m avoiding my TBR thats ever growing. I think it‘s started to be a chore. I am thinking about deleting my TBRs online and just sticking to a list of 20 at a time. Maybe that will help me. I also use to many sites for reading these days. I still enjoy it but now it‘s gotten to be more of a TO-DO. It‘s sad really. I have to work on that. 12mo

Q84 I was looking at my GR list and there are over 10,000 books. I will never read all of those and many are probably not of interest to me anymore. I tried to mass delete them but it wouldn‘t let me. š«Ø 12mo

TheAromaofBooks For me personally, I stopped doing review copies a few years ago, and that really took pressure off of me. 10,000 books is quite a lot!!! Mine has never been that high, but it was almost 2000 a few years ago and I did a big purge. A friend of mine went through her list and just deleted any book that had lower than a 3.8* rating. I like having a TBR because I love having a pile of books (metaphorically) that I thought sounded interesting to chooseā¬‡ 12mo

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) from whenever I am ready for my next read. I like to check out 10-15 from the library each month and if I don't get to them, I do kinda of flip through them and decide if they should stay on the TBR or not. 12mo

Q84 @TheAromaofBooks I don't struggle with feeling the need to read library books usually. I typically donthe same. Maybe I should follow suit and stop doing review sites. I also need to pair down my TBR, but I think a total purge is the only way. I also have a set of books I know I want to read when I think about it or see them, so that may be what I start fresh with. Thanks for sharing with me. I think it will be helpful in figuring out a solution. 12mo
