I have been waiting to get to this bookish dilemma. Partially because I am very guilty of this exact dilemma. It's also a bookish dilemma that I feel like every reader can relate to and have done at some point in their reading life.
You get a new book, pre-order or not, and add it to your bookshelf. But once you finish the book you're currently reading, you pick up your new book, read it, and breeze through it. Afterward, I (at least) get a bit annoyed myself for not getting to other books that have been sitting on my shelves for 6+ months.
Here are 6 prompts to ask yourself that may help you with this dilemma. Unlike with my posts that include tips, I won't be adding my own little thoughts, because you should really answer without any extra thoughts or details.
Prompt 1: Is it an anticipated read for you?
Prompt 2: Who is the author? How do you feel about this author?
Prompt 3: What genre is the book? How do you feel about the genre?
Prompt 4: What is the book's synopsis? Does it intrigue you?
Prompt 5: Is it getting a lot of hype in social media? If so, how do you feel about the hype?
Prompt 6: Do you know anyone who's already read the book? If so, what were their thoughts on it?
