How do you decide what qualifies for your queue, your bedside stack, your 'to be read' list? I used to have a much simpler methodology, which was lazily pacing in front of my bookshelves, grabbing anything that looked intriguing. I have a tendency to buy books slightly faster than I read them, so at any given time, about 25% of the books I own remain unread. Now that I have a Kindle, the process is much more complicated, because I keep a steady stream of unread materials on there, in addition to the physical collection. Then there is my public library request queue, which is problematic because I normally use it for the latest release, which tend to be popular, which means I rarely get them when I'm ready to read them (6 of 10 on H is for Hawk).

After taking a long break from actively engaging in reading, I feel a bit like I'm starting fresh, and I'm ready to construct a new TBR list for myself, but I can't really figure out where to begin...

What should I read next?
