The only inconveniance is having to update it if I buy new books because I normally forget to add the new titles heheheNoelia Alonsohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15995117581573105992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043678383360326207.post-47609136564870650032015-01-30T16:05:26.053+11:002015-01-30T16:05:26.053+11:00Thanks!

I like having something physical though - all the rest of my "book records" are online on Goodreads.<br />Oh yeah? That's too bad about Snow Like Ashes xD I used to think I was a mood reader, but really I don't think I'm that fussy - it's more about the convenience of reading the book. Random picks from the library always end up being favourites for me for some reason - I'd love to just read like that all the time.<br />I can see where you're coming from. The pressure of a time limit can be bad.<br />Haha thanks Connie :)Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762635239865326562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043678383360326207.post-12062489244388893922015-01-30T13:34:37.702+11:002015-01-30T13:34:37.702+11:00Very interesting! Your TBR jar is super pretty :) ...Very interesting! Your TBR jar is super pretty :) If I ever opted to have one, I think I'd just use a randomizer app LOL<br /><br />The reason I've never really liked TBR jars (or majority-vote Goodreads group books of the month) is I'm such a mood reader. Like, I will be anticipating a book for MONTHS and then not buy it until two months after it comes out (cough Snow Like Ashes), and not pick it up for a few more weeks (eheh, um, still Snow Like Ashes *blushes*) and all the while, I'll be reading random books I grabbed from the library xD<br />I tend to read my books one after another, not more than two at once, so when I finish a book, I think for a moment which book I'm in the mood for next. It's a very random process that I can't seem to detect much of a pattern in, so I just go with my gut, haha. I feel like me being told by a slip of paper that I MUST read this book in this amount of time wouldn't work too well :P<br /><br />I'm glad the system works for you though! You've pointed out some pretty great benefits of having a jar (which, I must say again, is adorable. I love it.) Awesome post :)<br /><br />- Connie @ <a href="http://theyabookthief.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The YA Book Thief</a>Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840437405965556727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6043678383360326207.post-56812950890888054502015-01-29T14:13:38.809+11:002015-01-29T14:13:38.809+11:00haha, i know right!

Doesn't sound like a lot, but there are over 75 slips in the jar! <br /><br />I pick two and set up polls on my blog and goodreads and let my friends decided which to do, then i read them as soon as i can get my hands on them and then once i get halfway done with those books, i pick 2 more and create the polls again!<br /><br />I've only done 1 complete round so far and i just wrapped up the voting on round 2. i really like it because it allows me to get more reading done and it get my readers involved too :]booklife4lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10079152533708456369noreply@blogger.com
