In an effort to slim down my overwhelming to be read stacks, I did an unhaul game with 10 different books that I haven‘t read yet. I read the first three pages of all ten books and decided which ones would stay and which ones would go. You can find out what books made the cut here: https://youtu.be/BepW6SYLAGU

EadieB @Butterflyamore That was an interesting way to unhaul books. I need to unhaul some books too but I usually check out the ratings on Goodreads and Amazon and anything below a 4 star rating gets unhauled. I also read the descriptions and some reviews as they are very telling whether I will like the book or not. 4y
abookishbutterfly @EadieB I‘m glad you have some methods that work for you because getting rid of books is such a tough decision. I definitely think this method worked for me so I‘m glad I figured that out. I‘ve read books with high ratings that I haven‘t liked and books with low ratings that I have liked so it‘s so hard to tell for me based on ratings. 4y

EadieB @Butterflyamore Read some reviews on Litsy about The Three. Lots of good ones! But checking Amazon and Goodreads only 3.1 and 3.2 respectively. So I think you should get rid of it. (edited) 4y
abookishbutterfly @EadieB I am getting rid of it but I am going to continue with my method rather than going by ratings. I think this method definitely works for me and I don‘t always have the same opinion, when it comes to average ratings. 4y
EadieB @Butterflyamore You should do whatever works best for you. I just like to check the ratings and reviews as a backup. 4y

In a restless reading mood, going to #TryAChapter and see what grabs me.

LauraJ Looks like someone else already claimed Artemis. 6y
2BR02B @LauraJ #Feli can keep it for now. I didn't even get ten pages in before setting it aside. 6y

I picked these 5 books from my TBR. Time to #tryachapter...I'll either find my next read or fall asleep trying! 😀

mom2bugnbee TATWD is among the best books I've read this year. I adore John Green. Little Fires Everywhere was also very enjoyable. 6y

Book 5 in #tryachapter. This first chapter is very short and doesn't give much away! It seems a little quirky and unusual. Now to choose which of the 5 to read! This is a tricky decision!! 🙄😀

Book 4 in #tryachapter. This one seems to be the most 'literary' and dealing with the heaviest subject matter. I'm intrigued and want to know what happens next, but not sure if I'm in the mood for the concentration I think this one will require!

Book 3 in #tryachapter. This one seems fun, funny and touching. Love the two characters we meet in the first chapter and it seems like they are going to get up to some mischief together!

#tryachapter book 2. This was quick and easy to read. A simple writing style and a melancholic atmosphere. I'm intrigued, and it wins best cover of the 5 in my pile! A definite maybe ...

Megabooks Cute cover! 8y

First up in my #tryachapter endeavour. First impressions: good! I like the writing, already dislike the husband and feeling sympathetic towards the wife. Interested to read more! (No defined chapters so read up to a natural break about 10 pages in) Have been wanting to read this for ages so may be the winner, but 4 more first chapters to go yet!

I watch #booktube but don't do my own videos. I really like the #tryachapter tag so I'm going to do it here! These are the 5 books - I'll read the first chapter of each and report back, then choose 1 as my next read!

Abailliekaras Love it! The vegetarian is in my shelf too - Look forward to your report! 8y
