Recently, I posted about books I’d taken off my TBR, so I thought I’d share how I go about ‘spring cleaning’ my TBR (even in winter). Hopefully this might give you some ideas about how to remove those extra few books that you’re not likely to read (but have been holding onto) so you can… Continue reading How to spring clean your Goodreads TBR (at any time of the year)
In the year of our Lord 2019, I’ve been trying to make my TBR a little less unwieldy. My Goodreads TBR is all of the books (owned and not) that I want to read in the coming year (or two). For a while, that TBR stood at 177 books. But as someone who reads about… Continue reading “I’m just never going to read that” // Books I’ve recently taken off my TBR

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week’s theme is: April 23: (First Ten) Books I Reviewed (These do not… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday // The first ten books I added to my Goodreads account

This I remember saying in December that my next wrap up would be at the end of January 2019 and here we are. I read nine books this month, so somehow I’m now three books ahead of my Goodreads reading challenge. Three whole books. Everyone remember this moment, because once I fall behind (and I… Continue reading January 2019 Wrap Up // A blogging event, a new blog series, and lots of reading
If you’re anything like me, you’ve been desperately trying to catch up on your Goodreads challenge for the last few weeks of the year. I often start off well in January, but then fall behind by March or April. Normally I pull it back over the summer, but this year I’ve been behind since January… Continue reading Blogmas Day 6 // Short books to read if you need to catch up on your Goodreads challenge
It’s that time of year again. *sings the Most Wonderful Time of the Year in an off key voice* It’s December 1st, which means it’s the first day of Blogmas. Blogmas is a period during the festive season when bloggers post content to their sites every day. This doesn’t have to be Christmas-related, it can… Continue reading Blogmas Day 1 // Goals for the end of 2018
Friends, this title is not clickbait. It’s true. I have 173 books currently on my Goodreads TBR and, although I sometimes jokingly complain that my TBR is too long, I actually quite like it that way. Before I’m excommunicated from the book community for such a brazen statement, hear me out. Yes, sometimes I wish my TBR… Continue reading Literary Discussions // Why I like having an unwieldy TBR
DNFing books is a great way ensure you’re reading only what you enjoy. As readers, we have the autonomy to choose whether or not we continue with a book if it’s not meeting our expectations. After all, we only have a finite amount of time to read (as much as I want to believe that we’re all… Continue reading Literary Discussions // Why I don’t DNF books
