I know that I will know what I have read and what I haven’t if i merge them, I mean I already know what is in there and not read. But something physical that would mean I’m not not taking them out of my TBR might work mentally for me to be able to let it all go.

That way you’ll instantly know which ones are TBR and still be able to find them.

I just need to put this into practice and let go of the guilt of not reading ALL THE THINGS

I’m not going to read the George RR Martin. I did though intend to get to some of the rest – at least 1 is in my To Be Read shelf already.

And yeah, I still have the year before’s shortlist on my want to read list.

Do you really want to read nothing but Hugo list books for the rest of your life?

If I were you I would go through the shortlist, rank them in order you think you might be most interested, and aim to read the top 3 of those. Then if there’s time, try for another 1, and so on.

Life is too short to read books cos you THINK you should like them.
