My TBR list comprises books in one of the following two mutually exclusive categories:
- "To Read" - books I haven't yet read but want to at some point (or am obligated to), whether I own them, plan to buy them, or expect to acquire them some other way (e.g., as a library loan or review copy). In Goodreads and Calibre, I always indicate which DTBs and audiobooks I own, and only sometimes (because the task is Sisyphean) indicate which ebooks I own
- "To ReRead" - books I have read and plan to revisit, whether I own them or not
Some books in both categories are tagged "
In Queue". These are books I'll read next, whether I own them or not, when one or more of the following occur(s): I finish my current book(s), I crest the library hold list, the publisher releases them, or the author-or-publisher sends them.
