I designed myself a TBR Raffle to work through my bookshelves. As I have over 300 books at this current point in time.
What you need
- Somewhere to store 37 books
- 2 containers to hold the raffle tickets
- Cardstock to number the books, you could use post-its on the book if you prefer
- Paper or Cardstock for the the raffle
- Something to write with.
How I created my Raffle
I started with picking 30 books and placing them on a separate small book shelf in my case but you could use a dedicated shelf, or whatever is handy. I then numbered them 1 – 30 by placing a piece of card in front.
In a jar i place 30 pieces of paper numbered 1 -30 as well as 2 labelled Kindle read. I also have bonus draws with Buy a book, read 2 more books in a series (for a series I get addicted too), Choose any book outside of raffle, Skip and Redraw for the times you go urgh I don’t feel like this. Once you use the bonus draw they go back in at the end of the month.
I also made a mini monthly challenge that has 7 books all to a monthly theme. These are drawn from a separate jar.
The plan is to pull a book from the main raffle, read it and then pull a book from the mini raffle, read it and repeat.
At the end of the month I change over the mini raffle books, replace the main raffle books and put all the drawn pieces back in their jars.
