That's great, Emily! Good luck with your climb!
Was making great progress at the beginning of the year - three of the first 8 books I read were TBR. But now I’m 23 books in (which is great for me - I had to up my annual goal), and I have added…zero TBR. My job is on the academic cycle, so optimistic about the summer, but also I probably need to stop reading so many reviews of new books!
Just had a good stretch - the last four books I finished were TBR. Fire in the Hole, I’m telling the truth but I’m lying, how did you get this number, and - after attempting to read it during maternity leave and realizing that, due to the subject matter, emotionally I needed a minute - I finally read the exquisite Beloved (my son is now 4).This brings my 2022 total to 9. I think I might get there.
(I also relieved myself of a few more books I’ve accepted I’ll never read via free little library drop offs.)
Mountain summit met! Just finished Barracoon by Zora Neale Hurston.
I’ve decided to go with that momentum and finally make a dent in my overwhelming TBR stacks and kindle library. First, I went through my hard copy books and took about a dozen books in like-new condition to a free little library, making my peace with the fact that these were books that interested me at a time, but that I will never actually read. It felt like a little weight had been lifted.
Now, onto the climb!
