Is Twilight trash? Yes. Is this going to be angsty trash? Hopefully. Is angsty trash what I need in this year of covid 2020? Hell fucking yes.

Me: *checks to see wait-time for my hold on the Beach Read audiobook*
Library: At least six months
Me: Okay, what about The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes?
Library: LOL, what book?!

Damn, today is just a lose-lose situation for me library-wise. Guess I'm forking over the ridiculous $17.99 for the Kindle version of TBoSS

I decided to do a "staycation" this week before my trip to Orlando next Saturday and it was honestly the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. I've finished reading 5 books, saw Birds of Prey again, finished season 1 of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, caught up on Grey's Anatomy, and just generally relaxed. Now I just need to use the next 3 nights off to do "adulty" things like laundry and clean. Lol.

So I just catalogued all of my unread books that I have with me in SA, and it's kinda ridiculous.....

186 hardcovers
140 paperbacks
220 graphic novels
6 manga
45 "coffee table books"
42 kindle books
265 audiobooks

And this is after I un-hauled about 250 books last September.


I swear I don't have a problem!

Did I buy this book specifically so I can read it to my intubated patient? Yes. Did I buy it because I’m a Disney nerd? Also yes.

I know I said I wasn't going to start anything until I was 50% done with GoF, but I'm working 6 of the next 7 nights so I don't have the brain power for a physical read

So I decided that I am not allowed to start a new book until I am at least 50% done with this because I have been working on this present for nearly a year and I really need to get it done. Lol.

Yes, I am now reading 2 different versions of the same book 😂 I’m still reading the same book I started back in Dec for a present and I started reading my Ravenclaw version for the N.E.W.T.s Magical Readathon

I finally went through and removed the books I "read" when I was younger. I know there were series that I read quite a few of (i.e. Gossip Girl, The Clique, The Princess Diaries, etc.) but I don't remember which ones I actually read. Between that and clearing my TBR, I have never felt more free in my reading life because I don't feel the pressure of 200+ books on my TBR staring at me.

The problem with being a mood reader who tries to use her library more is that by the time my hold becomes available, I'm usually no longer in the mood. Does anyone else have that problem?

Yes, I did already re-read this earlier this year. I'm working on a present for a friend and it involves reading it so I'm gonna count it because I've been in a slump recently. Lol.
