So it has been a while…. My brother got married last weekend, and things were a little crazy to say the least. Being the first one in the immediate family to tie the knot had everyone losing their damn minds.
BUT, I am back to normal now. Back to working 9-5, back to working out and reading in the evenings, back to playing with my dogs and back to consistently posting on Bookstagram.
I have several book reviews I am working on simultaneously, (I do this weird thing where I will work on four things at once so I can finish four things at once, rather than be singularly productive and just do one thing at a time…..so much less satisfying) and I will probably get to this this weekend. Today, however, I wanted to showcase all the books I have at home that have remained unread. This will serve two purposes:
- I need to hold myself accountable for buying books. Actually putting this list together has shown me I need to put myself on a book buying ban….
- Sometimes I just get distracted, or want to reread Harry Potter for the 17th time (not an exaggeration) and lists help me focus.
- You all get to see what I like to buy! (spoiler alert: cover infatuation is usually behind it)
