📚 Tip Tuesday: Reader Edition

“How do you organize your TBR?”
Short answer: You don’t.
Long answer: You pretend you will while adding five more enemies-to-lovers books at 2 a.m.

But if you want to feel in control of the romantic chaos, here are a few tried-and-true methods:

📂 The Trope Tracker Method
Sort by your cravings:

  • Fake Dating? Top of the list.

  • Second Chance with the One Who Got Away? Let’s suffer beautifully.

  • Grumpy x Sunshine with Emotional Baggage™? Say less.

📆 Mood Calendar
Assign books based on your current emotional state:

  • Feeling feral? High heat, no plot.

  • Feeling sentimental? Slow burn, found family, ugly crying.

  • Feeling petty? Revenge plots and unhinged heroines.
    Add a “Just Here for the Mascot” category if you're a real one.

📝 TBR Journal or Spreadsheet
Track titles, tropes, spice level, emotional trauma rating, and whether the MMC gives off “touch her and die” energy.
Color-coded? Obviously. Bonus points for stickers.

📲 Digital Folder System
Create subfolders on your Kindle or reading app:

  • Immediate Chaos

  • Emotional Damage Incoming

  • Suspiciously Wholesome but Probably Spicy

  • That One Everyone on TikTok Screamed About

🎯 Real Talk Rule
Only add a book to your official TBR if you’d fight someone in the comments section over it. Otherwise, it’s just wishful thinking and digital hoarding.

✨ You don’t need to be organized. You just need to remember which fictional man ruined your sleep schedule last.
