Teodora's 2020 Reading Challenge
Those rom coms are insanely entertaining, I don't know what is with them but they are so light and so easy to read! I think my exhausted student brain subconsciously asked me to read something like this and now it thanks me with bits of serotonin 😂

I absolutely loved 10 Blind Dates
I actually added it to my TBR and I am considering giving it a try!
I just finished
and it was pretty dramatic at the end, but overall it was kind of enjoyable. I liked it!
I just finished
and honestly, this is one of the best rom com novels I've ever read and I think I am going to add it to my favourite books shelf just because I would definitely read it again one day!It's been so much fun, I haven't laughed like that in a long time!
Yes, do! Only for the fun of it, it's worth it!
Brittany wrote: "That sounds fantastic Teo"It really was a great read and I wasn't expecting it to be so good, I'm super impressed with it 😂
Mod

Mod

Mod
I'll definitely keep that in mind!I just got
and I think I might actually give it a try soon!
Yes You Deserve Each Other was great! Ooh I might have to give those a try too

Yes 🤩
Paige Toon's books seem to have some great reviews so maybe they really are worth a try!
Mod
Wow I really need to read at least one of them asap!
Just finished
and I WANTED MORE OF ITIt is hands down one of the best I've read and it was so much deeper than I initially thought. I loved it!
It was amazing! It even made me cry! You should definitely give it a try!
Mod
This one is worth it, Britt! I promise!
It's always like that, you try not to add more books and end up adding and adding :D
True!! These past few days I've been adding books like a maniac 😂

But it's so much fun! Not long time ago I wanted to add less books and cut some off my TBR. And felt really guilty about adding more and more.But now I realised that the process of adding new and reading both new and old books gives me so much joy, so I decided not to limit myself and do whatever I want. In the end I read for fun, so it should be fun.
True!! So trueI think it is becoming a hobby to search for new books to add to my tbr or to play god and decide which books remain on my shelves and which must go
It feels a bit like therapy 😂

Such a good hobby! :) I've also bought more books this year. But actually I don't feel bad about it. Since I saved lots on not spending on traveling and gas for my car, just decided that it'll be ok to spend much more on books and some extra professional soft for my job.

Now I want to spoil myself rotten with brand new editions 😂

I wish I could read them as fast as I buy them haha."I am sure no one in this bookish world will ever manage to read all the books they want to read. It's practically impossible, especially because there are still interesting books to come! That's why I keep adding and then I go yolo 😂
@Kay @Teo So true! I agree with both of you. I also want to read more than I possibly can. And as I don't buy physical books, it's even harder to control the amount of books you already have.But I'm definitely going to read any book I have bought so far :)
That's the spirit, Elena! Read as more as you can and enjoy everything a book has to offer you, that's what my literature teacher used to say back when I was in high school
After all, the journey itself is important, not the destination, so that can apply to books too
Mod
I will never read every book I own nevermind all the ones I take out from the library or the kindle freebies. But that is okay, I will keep getting more anyway. And I'll eventually read all the ones I bought new, but the used ones some of them probably not.
Spoil yourself for a few of them then Teo!
I can't wait to go to a bookstore! I haven't been in ages and even though I read mostly on my tablet, I enjoy too much to lose myself between the shelves and to touch those fabulous covers! I think the staff from my favourite bookstore missed me these months, I might go surprise them with my presence and my money 😂

For me, I practically only read physical copies so I need to stop buying until I've read some and got rid of them so I have the space for others. When I read books I decide if I'm not going to read them again they go in a pile to go and not back on the shelves.
I also have the tendency to banish from my shelves the books I didn't like or I don't feel like reading anymore. I usually give them away if I think someone I know might like them, but sometimes I bring them to used bookstores and I also get some money back on them because I take care of my books so they are still worth good money 😂
Mod
Lol! I know you aren't sorry Kay! I'd do the same to you so can't really say much. I can only imagine how many books we are going to buy when the world returns to some form of normalcy and I can visit!
Mod
Isn't it amazing how we basically have no control over our actions when it comes to books? 😂
