my tbr prompt bucket 🧚

i always have the HARDEST time picking what to read next, since there’s sooo many books out there i want to read, i get decision fatigue very easily 😅

BUT!! this little bucket could be a total game changer for me

i really enjoyed using it to pick my tbr for june because it narrowed down the books i could pick from, but it didn’t force me to read something i just wasn’t feeling this month. having a LITTLE bit of choice makes it way easier for me to decide.

some prompts were very easy to fulfill, while others were a little bit harder. for some, i had LOTS of good options, and for others i had few options and they didn’t really appeal to me.
