The TBR Tag


Hello all! Today I bring you another tag! I was tagged by the lovely Kelly at BibliophileBliss to do the TBR tag. So as the name says, the next 10 questions will be about my To-Be-Read books, which is ridiculously humongous. Let’s do this! 


1. How do you keep track of your TBR pile? 

Most people say they use Goodreads for this but I might be the exception. Instead I have a TRB jar (well, two, but I’ll explain that later). Every time I get a book I write it down and put it into the jar. I only use Goodreads to mark those books that haven't been published yet.

2. Is your TBR mostly print or ebook?  

PRINT BOOKS. I can’t stand ebooks even though I know they are quite handy, but I’m a print books type of girl. Sorry

3.  How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next? 

Here is where I explain the two TRB jars. In one I have the titles I want to read ASAP and in the other the ones I want to read but they can wait. I don’t know if this makes any sense at all but it works for me. So each month I pick two or three titles from the jar I want to read ASAP and only one from the other TBR jar.




4.  A book that's been in your TBR the longest. 

Eh…….. no idea LOL Probably The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley. That book has been in my TBR for like centuries. I’m not even kidding. I bought it in the Annual Book Fair in Madrid when I was 16 maybe? And I’m 23 right now… do the math   :/







5.  A book you recently added to your TBR.  

Because of Mr. Terupt by Rob Buyea. I saw this book in one of The Book Hoarder’s videos. It’s a middle grade book, which I’ve been into lately.









6.  A book in your TBR strictly because of its beautiful cover. 

Only one? Hahahaha I will say Stitching Snow by R. C. Lewis






7.  A book in your TBR that you never plan on reading. 

Most likely The Mists of Avalon because is been so so long since I’ve bought it and I don’t know… maybe someday I would pick it up but right now I don’t feel like it



8.  An unpublished book in your TBR that you're excited for. 

Talon by Julie Kawaga. I will only say this: DRAGONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





9.  A book in your TBR that everyone recommends to you. 

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. Everyone raves about Patrick Ness books but I’ve never read any of his work even though I own almost all of his books.








10.  Number of books in my TBR 

Please, don’t judge me….. There are 206 (physical) books in my TRB pile…. Well, now that I got that off my chest I feel relieved =)


And with that concludes this tag! Thanks again Kelly for nominating me and I'm tagging some people as well:

Book Review // The Improbability of Love by Hannah Rothschild

The Improbability of Love  by Hannah Rothschild { Goodreads } Published by Bloomsbury in 2016 Paperback edition; 479 pages { BookDepository } The Improbability of Love follows a bunch of different characters all involved in different ways with the art-world scene in London when a very famous painting –which gives name to the novel – is found by Annie, the main protagonist we could say, in a thrift shop. Don’t be fooled by the cover which screams chick-lit through and through; the novel deals with so much more.

Book Review // The Madwoman Upstairs by Catherine Lowell

The Madwoman Upstairs  by Catherine Lowell { Goodreads } Published by Quercus Publishing in 2016 Paperback edition; 416 pages { BookDepository } The Madwoman Upstairs follows Samantha Whipple, the last descendant of the famous Brontë family. Her father is dead and the public believes she has inherited some important pieces of the Brontë’s literary estate, which is not true as long as she’s concerned since she has never seen said estate. When she starts attending Oxford College however, everything changes. She stars receiving books that belonged to her father and the whole situations turns into a scavenger hunt to unfold her family legacy.

Weekend Reads

This weekend I'm planning on finishing El día de año nuevo y otros cuentos maravillosos  - a short story collection by Vladímir Odóievski that so far it's simply okay nothing really special- and reading a chunk of Outlander . I'm halfway through the latter and so far, it's a very enjoyable read; I started watching the TV show last year when it premiered but stopped after some episodes because I wanted to read the book. I'm finally caught up with what I saw and from now on I don't know what's going to happen which makes me wanna read even more. What are your plans for the weekend?
