I don't usually keep a TBR, but I have one right now because I have a number of books I want to finish before year-end, and my strategy is simply not reading anything that's not on that list unless or until everything is finished. I expect it to take me pretty much right up to December 31st or a couple of days before.
I will say, I see the massive TBRs people have on Goodreads and it just seems pointless and stupid. I don't see what value a 1000+ book TBR has if you only read 20 books a year.
I have about 300 on my GR TBR list because I want to keep track of the books I want to read. I read about 25 books a year but still intend to get to the others. What do you intend to do after 31 Dec; stop reading completely or start looking for new books to read? If you choose books based on previous recommendations or following an author, that's still a TBR, just less concrete.
