when browsing for books to read, i always look for book reviews. that is why i bring you a september TBR that quickly turned into a very chatty video about the books i want to read this month, me making a TBR jar and cart for the first time, and losing my mind over some of the new book releases of 2023. booktube and tiktok have buzzed about these books… let’s see if i’ll enjoy them! i hope you guys enjoy this one and come out with one more book to add to your TBR and some good book recommendations for 2023!

Okay let me make a TBR jar and buy a cart 🤣 I’m influenced ❤

@just_bea_weird Год назад

And a cat. Don't forget the cat! 😂

@stonysmalls Год назад

@@just_bea_weird 🤣 oh yes can’t forget that

@MelReads Год назад

omg i love this🤣🫶🏼

I do have a very long tbr for this month. I edit it almost daily based on my mood and I’ve been doing this all year. It’s important to remind yourself that your tbr is a guide and is not permanent. You can change it up as you go ❤

@angelaholmes8888 Год назад

Yes exactly I have changed my tbr so many times

@sarahhansen8004 Год назад

It’s a way to keep the reading hobby incorporated at all hours of the day 😂 I love refreshing my TBR daily, making new shelves on GoodReads, rearranging based on my reading progress.

@MelReads Год назад

definitely a great reminder!!! telling myself it’s okay to read outside of it if i feel like it🤸🏻‍♀️

@isirlasplace91 Год назад

I use my TBR jar a bit differently. I usually choose a theme for the month. For example, I had Pride June, Sci-fi July, Literary August, etc. Then I choose about 10-15 books I'd like to read and add them to my TBR jar, and the jar decides which ones I'll read that month 😁

@MelReads Год назад

oooo I love the idea of a theme!🧚🏻✨

@sarahhansen8004 Год назад

Also I love love this TBR jar vibe for you. So many RU-vidrs look tortured doing their jars and end up with books they don’t want to read. You are just making it work for you! It should be fun, break any rules you want 😅this video is so fun

@MelReads Год назад

listen, life is too short to pick out books you don’t want to read. bending and snapping is my favorite past time, so i’m just going to make it work for me🤣🤸🏻‍♀️

@stephsfeelinbookish Год назад

I love using a tbr jar! (Even tho I sorta neglected it.. but this month I didn’t!) also I love the thumbnail 😈✨💅 giving off chaotic citadel vibes

@MelReads Год назад

chaos 🤝🏻 mel

@jasminejefferson6630 Год назад

A book prompt: a book with a cover that gives the same vibes as “you” Maybe there’s a girl who looks like you or maybe there’s a cat doing diamond painting Btw lots of love Mel Please keep posting you really are my favorite RU-vidr and your channel IS my safe space

i'm a mood reader through-and-through - my biggest tip for avoiding reading slumps is always having a short story collection on the go. I basically read a book, do a short story, then pick up whatever I feel next. if i still can't decide i just keep reading short stories until my feelings catch up. 10/10 recommend, works every time.

@danamonsees-cns Год назад

@crystalclearwpg Год назад

I just recently jumped onto the band wagon of the TBR jar and I love it so far. My youngest son (6) loves to pick the prompts for me and his sister. I use this to get my library books and home TBR books read and so far its worked pretty good. The book I'm looing forward to reading is a buddy read of Hooked with my daughter this month.

I love when your cats feature in your videos! I also really want to buy you some lamps for your living room - that overhead lighting seems so brutal for trying to relax! ❤

@MelReads Год назад

surprisingly, not that brutal! i prefer white over yellow lighting because it doesn’t fatigue my eyes as much, but i definitely need to get myself a lamp🤣

@hannahandherstories Год назад

I’m also a mood reader! I usually read whatever is due next at my library after taking out an excessive number of loans. But I’d love to get to Babel and Mexican Gothic this fall from my owned books. And I like the idea of a TBR jar vlog! 🫙

@MelReads Год назад

ooo hopefully you’ll get to them🤸🏻‍♀️💖

@tourmii Год назад

My tbr is just all my unread books 😂 I’m a complete mood reader. If I can’t pick one I’ll eeny meeny miny moe it

@MelReads Год назад

this is definitely me most of the time, but there’s definitely times when i don’t know what to pick, which is why we landed here🤣

@alaicherie222 Год назад

You look and sound so happy! ✨ and that makes me and my heart happy too! 🫶🏼 muchos abrazos desde Puerto Rico Mel!

@MelReads Год назад

i’m feeling the best I’ve had in a while, so thank you so much for this! this is sweet🫶🏼 un abrazote!!!

@ravensandblots Год назад

I do a star TBR jar for mine- which i pull 1-8 picks that are books I bought this year, and then picking one book from a prompt and one from a series so that way I can try and stay ahead of my TBR- though it doesn’t always work since I’m a pretty big mood reader. Good luck though- hopefully you can get through all of them!

@MelReads Год назад

yeah, mood reading is always a huge toss up, but having the structure is always nice!!!

@charlottesarkive Год назад

written in the stars is so good imo, one of my first sapphic reads n I still think ab it often.

@MelReads Год назад

can’t wait to read it🥹

@tibbarasden Год назад

Love the TBR jar. I am very much a TBR person myself. I always am overly ambitious, but it allows me a smaller selection to choose from throughout the month. I hope you enjoy your reads.

@nourin_siddique Год назад

Yes would love sth like read as you go or pick more when u are done with all of them in the cart xDD

@MelReads Год назад

yeah, i definitely plan to renew the pile once the month is over, or when i’ve finished all of the books🧚🏻✨

@Mymakermovie77 Год назад

I have a tbr shelf and it’s so fun but never used prompts. Might do that next month hehe

@SimplyS3r3na Год назад

I have two TBR jars currently😂 One that has all the titles of the unread books on my shelves. The second I recently made because there are so many books I want to read in the next few months that I was struggling to decide which one to pick up first, 🤣 I let the jar choose for me. So far so good! Great video, btw! ✌🏽+❤

@AdrianaB Год назад

Las frases en español me dan la vida jajajajaja Ok, so this idea came up to me when you were talking about the rest of the prompts that you couldn't include. What about a "second" jar filled with the rest of the prompts to have as some sort of backup? The backup jar for when you want to mix it up and renew the prompts you have on the main tbr jar. Or to use when you get a prompt that you've already done in the past, for example.

MEL! I cant believe you havent read words lf radiance?!!! You literally got me into stormlight archive and youve only read the way of kings? I litweally finished words of radiance like a week or two ago. It was incredible. When you do read it id love it if you made a reading vlog out of it 😃

@MelReads Год назад

i feel like everyone i’ve made read way of kings is already caught up with the series, and here i am… still not done with it💀

@lulucollins6173 Год назад

I read The love Wager this month and I love it looking forward to reading more from Lynn Painter. I started Divine Rivals and it tough I’m having a hard time getting into it 😩

@shortsweet8563 Год назад

Love this😊 i got in to tbr jars this yr (currently have 3 different ones). I dont know if you're going make this a regular thing, but one thing i do, if i dont like the prompt i put it back and repick lol😅😊

@MelReads Год назад

ngl i thought about putting some papers back in, but i held strong🥹😂

@IllBuythePopcorn Год назад

I'm new to Booktok and really found the tbr jar picks really interesting. So much so that I converted it to movies for my channel (changed it What To Watch jar picks😏). The problem is, I too am a mood watcher. I have so far watched 4 out of the 10 movies I pulled.

@janeelizabxth Год назад

I made my first tmr and went all out. I have a September tbr, a fall tbr, a Halloween tbr, and a winter one😂

Hi! I have a TBR jar, but instead of prompts, it has the titles of actual books that want to read. Thanks for the video!

@MelReads Год назад

definitely need to make a second jar full of the names of my unread books👁👁

@productofsaturn Год назад

i don’t really have a tbr because i never ever follow it lol but i’m currently reading The Art Thief by Michael Finkel which is a nonfiction about Stephane Breitweiser who was one of the most prolific art thiefs in europe so that’s been fun! i think next i’m going to read Psyche and Eros by Luna McNamara next

@the_reading_apprentice Год назад

I tend to just make a list of books I want to read in the month, but it's gotten very out of hand lately 😂 it started with maybe 5-8 books on the list, and ended up with maybe 30 ish last month 🙈🙈 so September, I've forced myself to limit my list to 10 books, and I'm not pressuring myself to read this month either, since life is HECTIC at the moment

@MelReads Год назад

omg 30 is so many🤣 glad you were able to bring the list down!!!

@the_reading_apprentice Год назад

@@MelReads yeah, it was a lot! I was never going to be able to do it, and I just started feeling super bad about not getting to books I said I was going to read, so I've forced myself to reset the priorities 😊

@grff_ Год назад

I have a tbr of one author but I'm reaching the end of my list, so i might do a jar for all my unread books cuz idk what I'll do once i finish😭

@MelReads Год назад

i feel like this is the one i have to do next👀 just a jar full of books i have yet to read on my shelves, so i can keep myself accountable🤨

@Wife_mom_boss_readingvlog Год назад

@lulupain18 Год назад

I think it would be good to focus more on completing the prompt than reading the books on the TBR. That way, you can still dnf, mood read, and still feel motivated to read whatever fulfills a challenge.
