How to limit that to be read stack

[dwig]

The only downside to a larger TBR list for me is that I can forget a particular book that I had though important to read all too easily, particularly if it or its author aren't famous.

I have found the need to be selective in my newer additions so that I don't "water down" the collection with less worthy titles.

I started the dragon lance saga like that some years ago, I started with the War of Souls, which at the time was the termination of the saga then I had to backed up and started at the begining. Let me tell you its a lot easier to start at the begining rather than the ending and understanding what is going on. So on that level some planning is needed such that I start at the bening rather than at the ending. I typically use fantasticfiction.co.uk for that as they have a very simple way of dividing the books authors have written into series.

I find inserting the series info from fantasticfiction.co.uk into Calibre is very helpful, too. In addition, I use "To Read" and "Read" tags in Calibre but I only mark the first book in a series (or the first book I haven't read in that series) as "To Read".
