We all know the problem of the endless TBR. You always put newer books before the older ones, which leads to the older books being pushed back further and further. There already are several memes to tackle your TBR, but I just thought of a new one where you HAVE to read that specific book on your TBR. It’s called The TBR Randomizer and this is how it works.
Rules
- Open your “want to read” shelf on Goodreads. All books have a number, at least on the website.
- Open an online randomizer.
- Put the numbers 1 till the last on your to read shelf in the randomizer.
- Make the randomizer choose a number.
- Read that book that belongs to that number on your Goodreads TBR, there are NO excuses. Or…. almost none.
- The exceptions are review copies with a deadline. However, I always read two books at the same time, so it works for me.
- Did you get a book within a series you haven’t started yet? No problem, start with the first book in that series.
- Hasn’t the book been rleased yet? Randomize again until you find a book which has been released yet.
- Have fun tackling your TBR and finding some hidden gems!
I will start this meme myself whenever I finish my current read and I will do this alongside a review copy.
Have fun!
Great job doing a new meme! I’m so horrible following lists lol but I’ll definitely let others know about this meme! Good luck with your tbr list! If I can bring myself to stop picking random books from the library for a little while I’d gladly join!
This is such a great idea! I love this so much! I never thought of using a randomizer to pick novels from my tbr. 🙂
I love this randomizer idea! I’ve got another challenge to finish right now, but I’m definitely going to try this out.
I like this idea! I would add one other rule. If you really, REALLY don’t want to read it, unhaul it! Sometimes books sit on our TBR for so long for a reason, and this randomizer might help you come to terms with the fact that you aren’t actually ever going to read this particular book.

I didn’t add that rule on purpose since I am reading ebooks and I can’t throw them out unfortunately.
Great idea, I’ll try it next month or when I can’t seem to decide what I’m in the mood for! ? Have too many books on my TBR for this month already. ?

This sounds so fun! I like that it takes the indecision of what to read away!
