My Book Beginning is from Of Love and Distance by Divya Jyoti Randev:"I surrendered.
I surrendered.
I surrendered.
It was no use fighting."
The Friday 56 is a meme hosted every Friday by Freda's Voice.
The Rules:
*Grab a book, any book.
*Turn to page 56 or 56% in your eReader
(If you have to improvise, that's ok.)
*Find any sentence, (or few, just don't spoil it)
*Post it.
*Add your (url) post below in Linky. Add the post url, not your blog url.
*It's that simple.
My Friday 56 is also from 56% of Of Love and Distance by Divya Jyoti Randev:
"'Then stay. We'll get your tickets cancelled tomorrow.' His pleading eyes locked into mine."

This week’s Question:
How do you decide what books to read?
I will usually read any ARC or review copies first depending in their release date/deadline. I keep a schedule of these dates in OneNote and colour code everything. When it's one of my own books or a book on my TBR, I will go by either my mood, continue with a series is I can or use random.org to randomly select a book from my Goodreads TBR list (it's quite handy that Goodreads numbers them all).

I love your OneNote idea. I love finding out how everyone else organises their reading. Also never thought of using random.org before but I think I'll definitely be doing that now! :)

Yes, random.org makes it so much easier to choose something to read if you're really stuck.

I try to read ARCs first but I get behind. So, for every two ARCs I read I will read something of my own choosing. :) New follower via GFC. http://angreads.blogspot.com

DeleteI always to read ARCs first too, but sometimes a book just calls out to me! I've never thought of using something like random.org to randomly select a book, but it's definitely something to look into! Hope you have a great weekend! New Bloglovin follower :)

I find it so much easier to choose a book when I can't decide!

I love the pleading nature of both! Pleading in all the right ways.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Yes! It was such a good book too!
DeleteThanks for visiting!
I should follow your example and get more organized. I also read my ARCs first but I don't have any real means of keeping them in order or keeping up with the release dates. I should be better about that!
ReplyDeleteMy FF!
I wasn't this organised until about a month ago. It is definitely so much easier to keep track of everything now and I don't get book releases mixed up or anything.

Oh, I never thought of using random.org, but I just randomly select a book (based on its cover which is really bad I know) on my TBR.

It's so much easier to decide what to read now! Though I do still choose books based on their covers too!

I have never used random.org...sounds interesting though. I like to keep organized so I keep spreadsheets, and it helps me have a balance in the books that I read...and makes sure that I don't forget the books I need to read such as ARC's.

Yeah, OneNote helps me in the exact same way. I check my schedules everytime I finish a book to make sure I'm on track! Maybe I'm a bit OCD though!
