- Do you plan ahead for your reading? Work off of a to-be-read pile? A reading list? Or do you wing it, chooe whatever you’re in the mood for? I planned ahead for the summer and I’ve really not enjoyed it – at all. Other than that, I only plan ahead if my to be read stack is huge and the deadline for library returns is looming.
- If you do plan ahead, how far ahead? Do you have two or three books waiting in queue? Or are you backed up by dozens of volumes waiting their turn? I generally pick up 10 books a week from the library, sometimes more if TW is on a serious role. I’m always behind, so there are 30 or so for me to choose from.
- If you do not plan ahead . . . well,
never ? What about if you’re reading a series? Or someone gives you a book for a present? I don’t understand how you can never do SOME planning. If you didn’t somehow plan, wouldn’t you run out of books and find yourself re-reading something or roaming around aimlessly because you don’t have a book to read?

I have about forty books in my “immediate” TBR stack at any give time, courtesy of book swapping at our monthly BookCrossing meetings. I read those roughly in the order recieved, except that I’ll move a book up if I know someone is waiting for it. There are probably several hundred (or more) “other” TBR books scattered around the house. There is no urgency with those because they belong to me and no one is waiting for them. I try to read at least three or four each month so I’ll have new blood to inject into the book-swapping. I’ll never catch up, of course. ;0) Library books are read within a few days of getting them, of course, so that I can get them back where they belong. I’ll be picking up The Shadow of the Wind tomorrow, thanks to the recommendation of severl friends (yep, you included!) As to any kind of formal reading plan: Think about it. Have you ever known me to be that organized in any area of my life? Nope, I thought not!

LOL skeet – maybe you could practice organization on your book list? 😉
