I started this quarterly TBR thing last year. I pick 20 prompts, put them in a jar, and pick 5 every quarter. I don’t pull specific books, but prompts to guide my reading. I of course do assign a book to each prompt when I pull them. Sometimes the prompts are strict like “read the shortest book on my TBR”. Others are more open like “read a translated book”. This gives me some flexibility while still pushing me.
For 2021, I decided to do more prompts that would encourage me to leave my comfort zone. I tend to read a lot of the same books or same types of books over and over.
Last year I did a video every quarter pulling my picks. I’m still doing that this year, but I thought I would also do a blog post.
Below are the prompts and books I picked for the first 3 months of 2021.
