The TBR Tag

-
Hello Netizens, 

I wasn't tagged to do The TBR Tag , but it looked fun =u= I came across this tag in Maniacal Book Unicorn blog post here.

Lets get started!

How do you keep track of your TBR pile?

Among the books I own, I have a note on Evernote that includes all the books I own in a To-Do list. So each time I read a book, I tick the box. However, most of the time I pick random books from the library that pique my interest and I end up borrowing them. 



Is your TBR mostly print or e-book?
The majority of books I read are physical books. From time to time, I would pick an ebook or read ebooks because I received them in exchange for a review. 


How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?

I have zero strategy, I just pick whatever book I am in the mood for. 


A book that’s been on your TBR the longest.

A World Without Princes (The School for Good and Evil #2)  by
A World Without Princes (The School for Good and Evil, #2)


A book that you recently added to your TBR.

My most recent addition to my TBR shelf on Goodreads is The Trick by Emanuel Bergmann. I came across this novel in my Goodreads' feed, and the synopsis caught my attention. 

The Trick


A book on your TBR strictly because of its beautiful cover.
I only read books with beautiful covers. jk jk, I would say Spare Brides By Adele Parks. I bought this book, because I thought the book cover is beautiful (and because it is a historical fiction). 

Spare Brides


A book on your TBR that you NEVER plan on actually reading.
The Twelve by Justin Cronin. It is the second book in a series and I don't own the first one. I bought this book on sale, and now I deeply regret that decision.

The Twelve (The Passage, #2)


An unpublished book on your TBR that you’re excited for.

A Boy at the Edge of the World by

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1)


A book on your TBR that everyone recommends to you.
1984 by George Orwell 
1984


A book on your TBR that you’re just dying to read.
11/22/63 by Stephen King. Well, actually, I am dying to read every single book Stephen King has written (good or bad),  but this one is on top of the list. 

11/22/63


The number of books on your Goodreads TBR shelf.
I don't have that many books on my TBR shelf on goodreads (and the books I've added to that shelf are only the books that I don't own, but want to read). There are 97 books added to the shelf, and if you are curious to what these books are you a free to check here. 


Tag, you're it!!!
I am tagging YOU. Yes, you. If you had fun going through this tag and want to do it, go ahead!

Book Review || Frida Kahlo: A Spiritual Biography by Jack Rummel

-

Hello Beautiful people,  I first came to know about Frida Khalo, through my studies in University. I had to write an essay about Surrealism, and she was one of the artists that popped up during my research. When I read about Khalo online, I have become interested in her artworks and in her, the artist. To know more about Frida Khalo, I decided to read this biography about her life, art and country. The biography also tries to show a spiritual side to Frida Khalo and her artworks, although she was an atheist. The writing in this biography is fun to read through, and I simply found myself flying through it. I am always worried I might not end up finishing a nonfiction book, because of the writing style, however, in this one, all my worries were gone. The writer manages to hold my interest and make me enjoy reading the book. Although it is a biography about Frida Khalo, it also covers the political situation of Mexico (and the world), and relates it to Khalo's beliefs a

Book Review || Behind the Scenes: Avant-Garde Techniques of Contemporary Design

Hello Beautiful People,  A while ago I've picked up this book on architecture and design from the library, and I finally finished reading it now. The topic interested me, and I thought I would find something useful for my major (I am taking Industrial Design). The book started on a good note, talking about CAD, the software used and how they function. I find the later unnecessary, nevertheless, it is great to read about if you don't know how the software processes your inputs. The book slowly progresses toward techniques architects have used to create their designs. it is interesting, but so much of what is tackled in the book I already knew about. Especially the second half. The book switches to discuss topics such as; interface design, interactivity and VR, which isn't why I have picked this book up for . Moreover, everything the book mentions about VR is generally known knowledge, but written obnoxiously. The writing style makes the book an extreme

Book Review || Design Handbook by Charlotte Fiell

Hello beautiful people,  Recently I have just finished reading 'Design Handbook' by Charlotte Fiell and Peter Fiell, and here are my thoughts about it.  I flipped through this book in the library, and it looked pretty interesting, so I picked it up. The Design Handbook is a beginner's guide to design, and it covers various concepts, materials and styles through time (mainly modern time). The writing in this book is clear and easy to read through. Non-fiction books can be boring for me, and I didn't find this one boring (almost). Moreover, the topics in this book are quite interesting, however, multiple topics are repeated a lot through out the book, making it a little irritating. I don't want to re-read about the same topic. I am personally not well-knowledged about design, design trends and materials, so this book is an eye-opening read for my case. Nevertheless, I was hoping to receive more from this book (which didn't happen), and
