How Do You Pick Your Next Read?

How do you decide what to read next? Book reviews or blogs? TBR Jar? Recommendations from friends or others? Spontaneous picks at the library or book store?

I usually just pick something that sounds good in a genre I am in the mood to read. Sometimes I just stand in front of my bookshelf or scroll through my Kindle until something jumps out at me.

I normally just pick whatever I've been dying to read, but since I have over 2,000 ebooks and a few physical books I decided to start using my TBR jar to pick two books from.

I start with a monthly TBR, usually get through about one or two of them then stray from the list. Usually I look at what others are reading and see if it interests me, or I start a series so that I don't really have to "choose" my next few picks because I will want to continue with the series and finish it haha.

I usually just pick whatever calls to my attention! Also something I'm really in the mood for.. Like right now I'm going through a huge new adult kick so I'm picking up books from that genre that call to my attention or ones people highly recommend! :)

Random picks in the bookstore really help me, especially if I'm in a bit of a slump. I usually do a TBR jar bc that for me helps make my decision a bit easier. There are times when I want to read something and I have no clue what I'm in the mood for. That's when I will scroll goodreads or one of my bookish blogster friends to see something they recommend. That's how I started Anna and the French kiss.

I realised I subconsciously will alternate between contemporary (NA/YA) with other genres (Sci-fi/dystopian/paranormal). After which I usually stare at my shelves and see what I'm feeling! :) Sometimes I get my bestie to choose between 3 books haha!
