    I usually just go with my gut and choose a book at random. If I really can’t decide I will read the first chapter of a few books and then continue on with the one that grabbed my attention the most!

    I do wish there was a special dance though. I wonder what that would look like?

  2. This decision is something I struggle with every time I finish a book. I’m a mood reader so I can narrow it down by what I’m in the mood for. But still I end up with a stack of books 5-10 high. I usually pick a few then read the first chapter of each and see what grabs my attention. Then I have the kids/husband choose one lol

    While sometimes library loan expiration dates may dictate what I read next … for the most part I am a TOTAL mood reader and pick things at random. I have so many amazing beautiful unread books on my Kindle and on my bookshelves that I literally just grab the first thing that grabs my attention.

      Now there’s an idea. I don’t own every book on my TBR. I supposed I could gather the ones I do and make it an easier decision.

      The only problem with that is the accessibility of eBooks. I could own anything on my TBR in seconds, though I do still prefer dead-tree books.
