I will only read some of them before repeating the process. There's never any sense of "I have to read these books" or "I should read these books before those" or anything like that.

(I also do the thing with the Overdrive plugin for books I want from my local library - that's a fairly recent development for me but it's working nicely. Fits in with my book selection process pretty smoothly.)

Anything more structured than that starts to feel like I'm giving myself homework. I don't think of my collection as a TBR because I don't think I ever had the intention to read all of them, I merely wanted the option to do so.
I totally agree. My TBR is just a list of things I haven't read yet, and may want to.

And "the thing with the Overdrive plugin", well, I believe I invented that. Of course I use it!
