A long to be read list can make it harder to choose your next book. MyBibliotheca’s My TBR workspace gives unread books a little more structure while keeping them in the same library.

Keep the long list and short list distinct

My TBR includes books on Plan to read and Up next. Plan to read is the wider queue; Up next is the smaller set you are most likely to reach for. Reading, Finished, and DNF books stay out of this workspace. Moving a book back to an unread shelf restores its saved TBR details.

Add context to books you saved

Set a priority, add a mood such as Cozy or Adventurous, or write a short note about why you added the book. Create private lists for a book club, a season, or recommendations from friends. A book can appear in several lists without creating duplicate library records. These details stay private to your account.

Filters can combine shelf, list, genre, length, mood, format, or author. Sort the results by priority, title, date added, or your own manual order. On a phone or with a keyboard, Move up and Move down can reorder the queue; desktop users can also drag books.

When you want a nudge, set the filters you want My TBR to respect and choose Pick my next book. You can also ask MyBibliotheca for three suggestions based on books in your library; a suggestion you choose is added to Plan to read.

A focused view, not a second library

My TBR is a working view of books you have not started. Your reading statuses remain the main organization, and your lists do not copy or remove books.
