Obviously, none of
these craft ideas were created by me, and I’ll give the creator the credit he
or she deserves. I just want to share some cool and fun—and maybe even new—craft
ideas with you. And maybe I’ll even scrounge up the willpower to actually do
the craft one day. Who knows?
This particular
craft is really all over the place. More than likely if you’re a book lover who
follows any kind of book blogs, Booktubers, etc., then you’ve already heard of
this particular craft. I’m just sharing it with you because I have yet to make
one, and I really think I should.

I know, I know.
How can any self-respecting book blogger not have a TBR jar already?! I just
find the idea of forcing myself to read a book painful and icky. That’s kind of
why I’ve stopped accepting review requests lately. (That and I am terribly
behind on them. Ugh.)
I’m not sure what
my TBR jar would look like, but think I would have to do the whole colored
paper bit. It would be too boring to put regular slips of paper in it. I know
there’d be over 100 book titles in the jar, so I would definitely have to get a
pretty large container.
It would be kind
of cool to have distinct colors for each genre of books. Like each fantasy
title would be green and contemporary yellow. This would just help if I knew I
wasn’t in the mood to read a certain genre.
One of these days
I’ll actually get around to making one of these. It’ll be really fun, and even
if I don’t actually use it, at least it will look cool on my shelves! XD
What do you guys
think? Would you do this? Yay? Nay? Maybe? Or have you already made your own
TBR jar? If so, you should show me a pic so I can steal ideas from you. ;)
I would never be able to stick with a book pulled from a jar like that. I am such a mood reader so I know this wouldn't work for me. My daughter did a version of this last year where she put a slip in every time she finished a book and at the end of the year she pulled them out to see which books still made her smile.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool. It's kind of like the opposite of a TBR jar. :)
DeleteAll the TBR jars I've seen have been so pretty! I have one myself, but I hardly pull any books from it. I think I more like the idea of keeping one and having a jar full of books. So far I have two different colours in mine; white and green. I have a list on my computer of unread books, and when it's been a while I reprint my list in a completely different colour. This way, the longer a book has been on the list the more slips it has, and in a new colour. And while it's not genre divided or anything it means I'll have no idea what kind of book is pulled. The longer the book has been unread the bigger the chance it's being pulled from the jar. Sorry for my maybe-not-so-easily-understood rambling. I think I need to write a well thought through blog post about my jar :)
