I'm now two thirds of the way done the 15 Day Book Blogger Challenge! It's taking me much longer than 15 days, but I'm so close to finishing!
Recap:
It's not a particularly sophisticated process. It usually ends up being the next due library book, then a book for review, then I can read whatever I want. With "for-review" books, I'm very fair. Whatever I receive first gets reviewed first. Although, paper always take precedence over ebooks. It's simply easier for me to finish a "hard" copy of a book.
If I have a bunch of library books and I have to pick which to read first, I'm the type that saves the best for last so I'll read what I hope to be the best books last. It's also a little motivation to hurry up and read. Recently I've also tried to mix different genres together. Reading two dystopias back-to-back isn't a good idea because I compare them too much to one another or I notice things I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't know the genre too well.
Even when I select books to acquire I like to take different genres. Some thrillers, maybe one contemporary, some PNR, and some fantasy is what I like.
How about you? Are you a "best-for-last" person or do you read the books you're excited for right away?

All us book bloggers really don't have much of a choice when it comes to picking our next reads (unless you want to risk messing up your review schedule)! I'm the exact same as you: I always go for the book whose release date is the closest, so I can type up my review on time. It's also infinitely easier for me to read physical copies rather than digital ones! I realize I tend to read faster that way, too. Review books aside though, my method of choosing my next read is WEIRD. I go to my bookshelf and just stare at the books for an extremely long amount of time, and then randomly pick a book. Strange, right?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely strange but kinda cool too. When I was younger, I would do eeny meenie miny moe to figure out which book to read next, then I would stack them all up. Everyone has their own process.

I am very scheduled but I give myself some flexibility-of the next 6 books I'll read, I'll maybe read them BACEFD (if I was planning to review them ABCDEF). I also like to vary between hard copy and e-copy. I do not save what I think will be best for last-I want to read it as soon as I can!
