My method this year has been: newest book, or next book in a series, or oldest book. Depending on what I'd just read and how I was feeling.

I have unread books I bought back in 2007 (I read all the ones left from 2005 and 2006 this year), and I'm hoping to eventually get my TBR list down to the last couple of years or so. This may take some time.... I currently have 274 unread ebooks bought in 2014 or 2015.

Reducing the additions will be an essential part of reducing my TBR, which is why I'm reducing my average monthly spend for 2015. Although that have to be on average. I have about £60 of Amazon credits to spend before 31st January 2016!
