You have 20,000 books on your TBR. How do you decide what to read next?
I have a five-book pile in my room. After I take one off the top, I add one to the bottom. With my Kindle, I usually have an idea of what I want to read, but sometimes I'll pick a title at random from a bag I put together with all the titles in it.

You’re halfway through a book and you’re just not loving it. Do you put it down or are you committed?
If I can't get into it by at least page 60, I'm done.
The end of the year is coming and you’re behind on your reading challenge. Do you try to catch up? And if so, how?
I try my best. I've read more than my challenge shows at this point because I'm so behind on reviewing!
The covers of a series you love do not match, how do you cope?
I don't really care.
Everyone and their mother loves a book that you do not. Who do you bond with over your shared feelings?
I usually find friends who have the same taste in books as I do. There are so many diverse opinions out there.
You’re reading a book in public and you’re about to start crying. How do you deal?
I usually hide my face behind the book.
The sequel to a book you loved just came out but you’ve forgotten a lot of what happens. Are you going to reread it?
No. I can only hope for a recap at the beginning.
You do not want anyone to borrow your books, how do you politely say no when someone asks?
Hahahaha. I always want people to borrow (and sometimes keep) my books.
You have picked up and put down five books in the last month. How do you get over this reading slump?
I haven't really had this problem other than with some books from book club. I guess I'm a rare breed.
There are so many books coming out that you are dying to read. How many do you end up buying?
I usually get them from the library or through publishers for my blog. I read up to three at a time in different formats.
After you purchase all of these books that you’re dying to read, how long do they sit on your shelf before you read them?
The overflowing bookshelves are my biggest problem. I give books away and more take their place. I still have so many I need to read and haven't gotten around to doing so yet. I've been trying to include some older books in my five-book pile, however. (Like ones I haven't gotten around to from previous years.)
I now tag The BookSage, Airing My Laundry, and Janine's Cool Cats and Reviews! Hope you'll play along, but anyone can even if they weren't tagged.

Being a book blogger, I usually just pick up the book with the closest release date.
You’re halfway through a book and you’re just not loving it. Do you put it down or are you committed?
I give it a few chapters and if I can’t get into it, I put it down. I have too many books to read to be reading something I am not enjoying.
The end of the year is coming and you’re behind on your reading challenge. Do you try to catch up? And if so, how?
I don’t do reading challenges.
The covers of a series you love do not match, how do you cope?
Sometimes it’s annoying, but I don’t ;let it bother me.
Everyone and their mother loves a book that you do not. Who do you bond with over your shared feelings?
For starters, if I didn’t love it within the first few chapters, I don’t continue reading it.
You’re reading a book in public and you’re about to start crying. How do you deal?
That has never happened in public and if it did, I am pretty good at hiding my emotions in front of people.
The sequel to a book you loved just came out but you’ve forgotten a lot of what happens. Are you going to reread it?
I usually don’t have time to reread anything, but I can usually refreshed up as soon as I start reading the new book.
You do not want anyone to borrow your books, how do you politely say no when someone asks?
I loan them anyway. I enjoy sharing read what I love.
You have picked up and put down five books in the last month. How do you get over this reading slump?
Just try another one.
There are so many books coming out that you are dying to read. How many do you end up buying?
Just a few if I have extra money.
After you purchase all of these books that you’re dying to read, how long do they sit on your shelf before you read them?
It depends on how many books I need to read and review for my blog.
I love the five book pile idea. I have mine on a shelf right now and know which ones I have to read next! The problem is when all the library books come in at once!

Love it, including the cartoons I have attempted something like the 5 book pile but then keep changing my mind. I try lists to keep track of what I want to read next but that takes up time I could be reading. I do have a spreadsheet to keep track of reviews, though. And I feel so lucky to have a granddaughter who has the same love of books and reading I do - never too many books or too many bags to carry them in.
This is awesome! I definitely identify with all of these reader problems!
I am not a blogger but I can relate to all these problems.
