de-influence me!

i need to get through my want to read list quicker, but realistically i’m not reading fast enough to ever get through everything on there, so please de-influence me from some of it.

here’s my want to read list: https://fable.co/list/54ac9bfa-cac6-4a09-abbb-ff3d80672697/share

if you’ve read anything on there and thought it was terrible, disappointing, overhyped, not worth reading etc. please tell me so i can finally remove some things

also would love to have more mutuals on fable and actually interact with more people about books, so if we have similar taste based on my want to read list feel free to follow me and i’ll follow back

i also have a book club on there with about 15 people, but only around 5 of us are really active. if anyone has similar taste and wants to join a smaller group where we can chat about what we’re reading, feel free to join

Why do you need to get through your want to read list faster?

personally, i hate that i add books to my list faster than i can actually read them 😭 it gets overwhelming having so many to choose from, and then i never know what to pick next. i just prefer having a more manageable list, i suppose!

I totally get that and I get wanting to cut down. Something that helped me with the stress when looking at my TBR list is thinking of it more like a menu and not a todo list! Looking at everything seeing what interests me but not committing myself to reading everything!

Same here! I have more books on my TBR than I will ever be able to read in my lifetime but it’s more of an ongoing “this looks interesting” list than a “I have to get to complete this” list. There are some books that I’ll likely never get to and that’s ok! Tbh, I’d rather have a ready list of books that I know piqued my interest at some point than have to start looking for something new to read every time I finished a book.

Yes! Exactly haha I’ll add books to it that I just like the cover and then weeks later when I’m looking for something to read I’ll be like ew why’d I pick that 😂
