Generally, if I don't have something to say about a book that I feel is worthy of a full-on review, I do a mini one in my Fortnightly Update and call it good. There are reviews lingering unwritten in my Blogger dashboard, but I don&#Litha Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350209887646891024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174167584829577698.post-37623701715094034612016-01-30T19:18:05.317-07:002016-01-30T19:18:05.317-07:00I have TBR shelves on Goodreads (the-pile and the-...I have TBR shelves on Goodreads (the-pile and the-invisible-pile) but I still constantly forage for books. The gift card idea is great! I wouldn't likely stick to it, though- buying bans would just mean I'd start collecting something else (like yarn, fabric- I craft less than I read, anymore). I think if I somehow keep myself focused on what I have, I might not buy so many more books. *Litha Nellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06350209887646891024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174167584829577698.post-131542041791783492016-01-30T10:21:03.743-07:002016-01-30T10:21:03.743-07:00I've tried shutting down review requests as we...I've tried shutting down review requests as well and it worked out all right for me. While it didn't stem the flow of new books completely, it slowed it down so I could keep up. I also picked up a method from a couple of people around the blogosphere that suggested not reading any other books until you have a review written for the one you just read because that's the main reason I Laura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9174167584829577698.post-11321005106605019822016-01-30T10:06:50.212-07:002016-01-30T10:06:50.212-07:00As far as not buying any more books goes (with the...As far as not buying any more books goes (with the exception of using gift cards), what worked for me was scanning all my books into Goodreads and adding them to a separate TBR shelf on there. Every time I log on to Goodreads, I can see that ridiculous number of books. I became very aware of my problem after that, and it's made participating in the #ShelfLove challenge a breeze.

I completely reorganized my ebook collection by sorting them by page count, genre, year published- and it has helped some, for that. However, physical books are a real issue- one I'll be trying to tackle during February.

My biggest downfall now are e-books. I can't see them like physical books and so putting them on a shelf I can see every day won't help. :-) It's a good idea though.
