    I really love the idea of only adding 20 books into the jar. My jar had every unread book I own and it became very overwhelming. (I’m also trying to tackle my excessive physical TBR this year - it will definitely roll into next year for sure!)

    I don't track 'currently reading' on Goodreads and Storygraph anymore because I too always start new books and knowing that they're all technically 'currently reading' is so stressful to me It's really how I know I'm heading toward a reading slump. I start a ton of books, none of them hit and suddenly I'm reading 10 books and haven't finished one in 2 months. It's kind of a vicious cycle. I hope you'll get to love and finish the books on this list (or hate and unhaul tbh😅)

    I started my zero TBR challenge two years ago and I am now at 57ish. I unhauled a lot, I read a lot and now I make smarter choices when it comes to buying new books. I basically buy a book when I NEED to read it RIGHT NOW. I buy it, I read it, I return to my TBR. I still have a long way ahead of me, but so far this works well for me 😊 Good luck with your journey! Just remember, owning a lot of books is a luxury and needs to be enjoyed to the fullest! So savor every book and every moment and you will have a lot of fun along the way 😊

    If you have kindle unlimited id suggest getting rid of it to save money and concentrate on the physical copies you have. I never got KU, as much as I love reading I'm not a fast reader and also I'm a mood reader so I do not read all the time, for that reason I typically buy the 99p kindle books. Or the odd book i really want to own on kindle. I would never in theory spend a year's worth of subscription on kindle books so I would still save money. With the benefit of owning the books. If its not much more money or sometime less money I will buy the physical copy.

    • @laurensbooklife
      @laurensbooklife Месяц назад

      Thanks for you advice about kindle unlimited and I totally get where you are coming from. I don't think I will be getting rid of it for the moment because I use it to be able to read books of my physical TBR when I am not at home. I don't like carrying around a physical copy of a book because I am worried that they will get damaged. Another thing I do is I frequently cancel kindle unlimited so I never pay for it for the whole year. So I only have it when I am actually using it.

    As someone with a relatively small tbr I genuinely don't understand why so many people with big tbrs always talk about the options. Bookstores exist, if I really want to pick up a book I can get the eBook right now. Even if a physical version is not available I can order one and it'll be at my house in two days. I feel like I am actually more flexible in what I read because I don't have to always consider what is on my tbr at home and I also have more financial freedom because I just spend so much less money overall on reading. I've also tried reading to zero before but I've never even made it to the single digits, so I am excited tp watch you do it!

    • @laurensbooklife
      @laurensbooklife Месяц назад

      I really don't understand either why I had it in my head for the longest time that a bigger tbr means more options. Everything you said makes so much sense. It is a realisation I have slowly been coming to and is a major reason why I am doing this challenge.
