Goodreadance 2021 // How I’ve tidied up my Goodreads shelves and unhauled books

Folks, it’s that time of year again. No, not that time of year. (I mean, it almost is, but that’s not what I was thinking of.) It’s #Goodreadance2021 season.

Spring cleaning my Goodreads TBR

Back in September, I did a big old Goodreads TBR unhaul as part of Shealea‘s #Goodreadance. I found it really useful to refresh my shelves and re-evaluate which books I’m likely to read in the coming months (or even years). In spring, I did another round of virtual spring cleaning.

Goodreads TBR Spring Cleaning Challenge // #Goodreadance2020

Every couple of months, I try to do a clear out of my Goodreads TBR. I find that after each quarter of the year, the books I’m interested in or keen to read have changed, so it’s good to keep updating my to-read list. So when I saw that Shealea was hosting #Goodreadance2020, I knew… Continue reading Goodreads TBR Spring Cleaning Challenge // #Goodreadance2020

February 2020 Wrap Up // Completing all my F/F Feb challenges and reading my best friend’s favourites books

As we close out February, I was disappointed in myself for not reading more of the books on my set TBR. But then I actually looked at my Goodreads and I read 10 books overall???

Reading and blogging goals for 2020

Every year, I like to set myself some reading and blogging goals so I can have a few things to aim for throughout the year. I usually seem to hit about 80% of them, with one or two falling by the wayside. But 8/10 isn’t bad. So, although we’re already into February (whoops), I’m sharing… Continue reading Reading and blogging goals for 2020
