Reading my Physical TBR | TBR Wheel #1

 Hey y'all!

I have so many books on my physical TBR, 264 to be exact, and I'm hoping to get that number a bit lower this year. Now, there are so many fun ways to go about doing this; TBR jar, TBR wheel, Bookopoly, blind date with a book, etc. In the past I've tried a TBR jar and Bookopoly, neither of which worked for me at that time. 

So today...well actually a couple of days ago, I sat and added 208 of those books into a wheel. The other 56 books included some non-fiction that I don't want on the wheel as well as books that are further along in a series.

This wheel looks crazy with so many options on it, but I'm hoping doing it this way will work better for me than what I've done in the past. 

Unfortunately I didn't get a screen grab of the first pick when I spun the other day, BUT I will be sure to for the upcoming spins. 

Without further ado, the first book from the TBR Wheel was.....

Maggot Moon - Sally Gardner

Maggot Moon - Sally Gardner

What if the football hadn't gone over the wall. On the other side of the wall there is a dark secret. And the devil. And the Moon Man. And the Motherland doesn't want anyone to know. But Standish Treadwell -- who has different-colored eyes, who can't read, can't write, Standish Treadwell isn't bright -- sees things differently than the rest of the "train-track thinkers." So when Standish and his only friend and neighbor, Hector, make their way to the other side of the wall, they see what the Motherland has been hiding. And it's big...One hundred very short chapters, told in an utterly original first-person voice, propel readers through a narrative that is by turns gripping and darkly humorous, bleak and chilling, tender and transporting.

I got this in April at out local library's annual book sale. I didn't know much about it when I first picked it up but was hooked when I started reading it. I'm now only around 87 pages from finishing it and I'm sure these last pages will go by quickly. I may post a review of it here when I'm finished but if I don't I'll be back soon with a new TBR Wheel update!

Happy Reading!
