Well, not really. The 'to be read' list is long, and the amount of unread books in the shelf is large. It's just on to the next.

It's true, I have a shitload on my tbr shelf. Still takes me way too long to decide what to read. I always get dread that I'll read something i don't like. Same with movies and tv shows. I get this kind of dread that I'll watch something i don't like, so I just end up not watching anything new.

Ah, that does make sense. I understand the feeling.

I'm like this with videogames, I need a 3rd party website to keep track of what I'd like to play, but end up playing what my friends are

I'd wish I had a fancy answer. Would've made for better conversation. But thank you for asking. I just keep a bulletpoint list, in my notes. It's not too long to manage like that.

How about you? And others?

I just have a storygraph account, but I think I should try a notebook.

This is what I use Goodreads for... I'm constantly adding new books to to 'want to read' list, and I generally add them faster than I'm reading, so I never run out. And when I do get to a time when there's nothing on the 'want to read' list that I want to read at that moment, I'll come to Lemmy and look at a 'books' community and there's always a 'what's everyone reading' thread where I can find something good.
