I'm finding this slow going. Funny and satirical in places, but not quite as riveting in others. Not sure what I was expecting, but this isn't as immersive as others of his books have been for me. Good, yes. Great . . . haven't made up my mind yet.

I found out about this a while ago from a podcast I listen to called Books Unbound. There are also other spots online where you can find this method.

This is for anyone who wants to curb their book buying/their physical or digital TBR is out of control.

How it works:

1. Read a book
2. Convert the pages into "pennies" (eg. a 500 page book would be $5)
3. Build up your TBR credit until you are ready to use it to spend, save it, etc.

I have been using this method for a bit, though I am building up my TBR credit for later on to see how much I can get. I also thought it may be a good idea to use my TBR credit and put the money I "earn" into a savings account.

Have you used this method or something similar? Do you reward yourself for reading at all (especially in this distraction age)? Why or why not? Do you have any other methods to tackle your TBR pile? Let me know!

One time I was watching a video where a creator was discussing a list of books that if someone they were talking to didn't like them, he thought they had terrible taste. I paused the video and thought "what book could he say that would make me instantly not trust another word he said?" and the only thing I could land on was Pet Sematary by Stephen King.

The misogyny, the colonialism, the utter banality of 70% of the book. I'm not a die hard Stephen King hater, but I hated that book cover to cover. I could not find a single redeeming quality about that novel.

You'll never guess what the next book out of his mouth was.

So, as title suggests: what's your "Pet Sematary"?

I’ve been wondering if there are people who don’t keep a TBR list at all and just go with the flow. Recently, I found myself reading whatever book I happen to come across.
