I have a suggestion for the person who is looking to curate her reading. I would make your TBR list as close to where you source books as possible. I almost exclusively read eBooks from the library and use Libby. I used to keep my TBR list in Goodreads but I hated the extra step of having to scroll through that list to add books to my holds list on Libby. So now I use the tagging system within Libby. I have a TBR shelf and then I try to also tag the book w/ the recommendation source so I can remember who suggested the book to me. If you use the library but not Libby, library systems tend to have a “wish list” tag as well (I could not request every book I am interested in because it would exceed my # of allowable holds since I have a lengthy TBR). I hope this is helpful!
