Veronica's Overflowing Bookshelf Challenge

[Mayim]

My standards are all over the place but I firmly believe in positive reinforcements. :D My mother taught me that with a word of encouragement everybody can rule the world. :D

[Veronica]

Well, world domination has always been a life goal of mine. And when I rule the world, chocolate will cause weight loss. :-)

[Mayim]

When you do that, I can be your PA. We can co-chocolate or something. :)

[Veronica]

It's a deal!

I finished Round 3, read three old and three newer books from my already-own-it stack of books. This time I managed to limit myself to only buying two new books but one of them I blame on Mayim because...The Curse of Chalion.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Great job! How has it been picking from old and new? Part of me feels like it would be fun to actually focus on books I've been hoarding the longest lol.

[Veronica]

It's working out pretty good so far especially because some of those books that I've owned the longest just don't sound all that appealing anymore. :-)

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Have many gotten the boot? :)

[Veronica]

Weeelllllll...technically they're still there. I should box them all up and either donate them or take to Half Price for reselling. Mostly they're books in genres I lost interest in, i.e. cozy mysteries and romances. I'm really not planning on ever reading the romances. I bought them back when I was trying them out to see if I'd find the right one to flick the switch on my interest but now I know it's just a genre that doesn't interest me at all.

[Miche]

Great job, Veronica!

Next year I might try something similar.

[Niki Hawkes, I made it past GOTM... barely]

Haha "technically" is good enough for me. All of my "boot-worthy" books are also in a box. But they're off the shelves, so I'm happy lol.

[Laura]

Good plan with the old books Veronica. I think I'm gonna follow it too. And you also got so many great ones in sale! I wouldn't have resisted either for those prices. :)

[Veronica]

I'm getting back to this after not tracking it for awhile (I actually forgot about it). I filled out my round 4 and so I purchased a new book, The Queen of Bedlam, which is actually the first book I've bought in about a month.

[Veronica]

Halfway through round five. Finished my three "new" books (owned less than a year), now have to read three old, owned books.

"New": What the Dead Leave Behind, The Circus Fire: a True Story, Extinction Horizon
