Earlier this year, there was an unread shelf challenge going around either Instagram or the blogging world, and I don’t remember where I caught onto it. It didn’t take with me because I kept buying books.
One day recently, I was rearranging my massive TBR stack, and my Hubby said, “Maybe you shouldn’t buy any more books until you have those read.” I was surprised, but I realized that it was a sane approach to limit my book buying somewhat until I finish some of the books I have not read.
This month, I did totally the opposite, considering that I had made this resolution. I have bought a lot of books, partially because I buy big at my local library’s used book sale every three months. I also pre-ordered several books that come out later this year and early next year. In fact, I went so crazy at a library book sale that I’ve made it impossible to track this month’s purchases. I’ll begin tracking purchases as well as books read and donated in July.
