You | Caroline Kepnes

Anyone else have a trouble with reading to many books at once. this is after I've nixed a few a finally just dnf them. 2 physical books, 3 audio, and 5 kindle books. I am making myself finish at least 1 before I jump into rereading a series I really want to read now. I'm going to try to get it down to 5 and keep it there. #tbrproblems

BookNightOwl I have 4 at the max at one time. 5y

lukulamppu Definitely a problem for me too, I usually end up having anywhere from 6 to 11 books going on at the same time. But then it‘s nice when you can finish about 4 books in a weekend because you‘re halfway through so many😂 5y

The Book of Questions: Business, Politics and Ethics | Gregory Stock

Time for the bookish discussion question of the day 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! Here it is: If you had tons of free books/ARCs being offered to you, would you just take them all or would you be somewhat selective? #BookTalk

BookishTrish Selective! 5y

Bookwomble Selective - too many books, too little time 😊 #tmbtlt 5y

BookPixie I‘m much more selective now. 5y

JSW Selective. I like what I like. 5y

Leniverse Selective. There's a lot of freebies around. No point downloading hundreds of books that I have little interest in reading. 5y

Dolly If I could give them away ( I ❤️ giving stuff away). I‘d take all, otherwise I‘d be thrilled if I had one or two a month. Never had an ARC. I‘d probably giggle uncontrollably 🤣 5y

bookseller_cate I‘ve had to learn to be selective, due to limited space and time in my life. 5y

Lindy Selective. I already have so much to read… 5y

kimba7 Selective, otherwise the guilt would be too much. 5y

tournevis I'd take them all and redistribute. 5y

ravenlee I‘d grab them all! And then sort through later, keeping ones I like and sharing others. I find ARCs give me more freedom to dabble, trying out something I might not otherwise. Ditto for library books. And there‘s less pressure to finish something I‘m not enjoying. 5y

IamIamIam ALL THE BOOKS!!!!! 5y

ReadosaurusText I tend to be selective. Even when I‘m trying to be realistic, I really overestimate how much I can actually read. #TBRproblems 5y

Kimberlone I would try to be more selective, only grabbing ones I actually would be interested in reading. 5y

CrowCAH Selective 5y

Jenken1998 Selective 5y

Crazeedi I'm rather selective 5y

jenniferlgadd Gimme. I want it all. 5y

Reecaspieces Well! I have actually had this occur in two different situations. Someone cleaned out their library and gave me two boxes of books. Well I took all two boxes. But....BookExpo I am selective! 5y

Leftcoastzen Usually selective, though I do grab stuff for others if I think they might like it. 5y

ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled Selective, I think. Is this a hypothetical, or . . . 🧐🤣 ‘Cause if you just happen to have boxes of books you don‘t want, um . . . 😁😂😂😂😂 5y

rjsthumbelina I take all the ARCs that sound even mildly interesting to me at work! Then once I read them, I hand them out to friends 😁😏 5y

Kaylamburson @mrbook I'm curious your answer to this question. I'm selective. Unless an author doesn't seem to have a line and they ask me directly, then I pretend I'm really excited as to not hurt their feelings. 5y

Sharpeipup Selective. 5y

Caffeinated_Reader Selective because if it‘s going on my bookshelf then I have to read it. I don‘t have books just to have them 🤷🏻‍♀️ 5y

Cailey_Mac Hmmm, I would take the ones that I really wanted, and branch out and take maybe a maximum of 5 that I usually wouldn‘t or haven‘t heard about 5y

LibrarianRyan A bit of both. I collect books all year around for the libraries I work with. Many of which can not send a staff member to something like Expo, con, or ALA. so I hand out what I do t want. 5y

Slajaunie I have had that situation. I took only the ones IV was interested in reading. 5y

Gissy I will take the ones I'm interested first but I will take others too thinking in friends. 5y

Pride and Prejudice | Jane Austen

Book stack at Barnes & Noble with my lunch of Flatbread and tea. Pride & Prejudice will be my next #freakyfriday read as soon as I'm done with Gentlemans Guide. I have decided I can only read 3 books at once right now 😂😂 #tbrproblems #bookaddict

sprainedbrain 😍 That stack! (and that food) 7y

MissAimz_55 I'm prepping for summer (with the LA book since I live here ) and for my work trip (I'm going to England and Scotland for 3 weeks. While most of it will be work I'll have some down time to explore) . I was just going to borrow Pride and prejudice but decided it's one of those books you should own . 😂 @sprainedbrain (edited) 7y

sprainedbrain @MissAimz_55 it definitely is! 7y

The Big Sleep | Raymond Chandler

My book buying ban fail ? ... So excited Nathan Hill and Adrian McKinty coming to Adelaide Writers' Week in March (so I *had* to buy these ?).

"If Raymond Chandler had grown up in Northern Ireland, The Cold Cold Ground is what he would have written." (The Times). Now feel that I should read The Big Sleep first. Thoughts? #bookhaul #TBRproblems ?

courtney Yasss the Nix was so amazing! 8y

Abailliekaras @Courtney I've heard such good things about the Nix, I'm super enthused ... But am in the middle of Infinite Jest so the 625-page length is daunting! 8y

Dumplin' | Julie Murphy

After a long hiatus, I'm finally finishing this one up. Even though this is really well done, I think YA just isn't my thing. Perhaps I just don't want to relive my teenage years :)

LauraBeth It's not my thing either 😀 8y

Ashley_Nicoletto I struggle with YA too. Although, I have this and have been meaning to read it. #tbrproblems 8y

Zelma I read YA a lot less often than I used to. I got really into it during a few grad school courses and afterward but have had my fill. I still read them but much more sparingly. I kind of prefer middle grade over YA. 8y
