Musing Mondays is a weekly feature hosted by MizB at Should Be Reading. Each week MizB asks a book related question and we have to give our answers.
This week’s musing asks…
When you’re stuck for a book to read next, what do you do?
I had to chuckle to myself when I read this weeks question. I am never stuck for a book to read next, not with over 2,000 books on my bookcases; that figure doesn't even include my kindle books either. I have two bookcases at home filled with books of many genres and also I have three bookcases at my Mum's house -that is what I call my overflow library. It's more a case of wanting to read so many books at one time and only having one pair of eyes to do it. I also have some lovely friends who like to give me books every time I see them :D They normally come highly recommended, so they get bumped up the tbr pile.
At the moment I have a little rule where I read two review books and then choose one book that is a non review book. It seems to be working fine with me. I always have two books on the go - one physical book and one book on the kindle. So generally I swap between the two books.
I have been known to spend half an hour just wandering between my bookcases trying to choose a non-review book.

A true bookish saying!
I totally agree! Wow I don't have that many books! I have over a thousand though, combined with ebooks! :) I also generally have 2 books on the go but at the moment I'm trying to limit myself to one book at a time! :)
Wow - I wish my collection of books was that big!
