My TBR game is officially back, and yes—this is the exact kind of bookish chaos I’ve been missing. In this video I dust off my TBR game rules, bring the challenge wheel into the mix, and let it basically run my reading life for a bit. I’m also joining The Readers Gauntlet (shoutout to baysreads), which means my TBR isn’t just “vibes”—it’s vibes with consequences. If you love a structured plan that immediately derails itself… you’re in the right place. I walk you through how I’m picking prompts, what I’m aiming for with the gauntlet, and how I’m trying to balance mood reading with actually making progress on the books I keep side-eyeing on my shelves. I also chat through the titles that come up in the process—like Best Offer Wins, The Hollow Places, We Don’t Talk About Carol, The Fall Risk, A Drop of Corruption, and Once and Future Witches—plus the general strategy of choosing books that will keep me engaged (because if I’m bored, it’s over). The big takeaway: I’m building a TBR that feels fun, doable, and community-friendly… even when the cats and the wheel are both working against me.
