Do I Actually Read The Books I Haul | Bookmas Day 16

[@jguidry94]

That's how I read my BOTM books. I place a hold for the audio and read it immersively when the holds come in. Keeps me happy.

I don't read enough of the haul books. I get distracted but other books on Libby or Everand. 🤣

[@sweet_t_reads]

I like the idea of putting your book of the month books on hold at your library when they come in. I might try that! Hopefully it'll help cut down on my backlist of BOTM books. I didn't do great as far as reading the books I brought in, BUT I did read a bunch off my physical TBR this year so I'm proud of that!

Now that I have accumulated a decent amount of books, I think u am going to track what I buy vs what I read as well.

I have read quite a lot of the books I have purchased for 2024 and I have some that I haven’t gotten to because I keep putting the ones I get currently ahead of the ones I’ve bought previously so I have decided to set off the new year with the ones I did not get out for 2024. Shh 🤐 I won’t mention my download books from my kindle app and Apple Books app and glose book app lol. Have a happy reading 📖 and a good night.

I always buy more then I read because I don't want to ever risk not having a book on hand to read! 😂 And since I DNF any I don't enjoy, I never know how many I actually have to read!

I hauled books like my life was at stake lol. In all seriousness, though, my main motivation in buying books more than I used to is a decision to do everything I can to support my local indie. They operate on the tiniest of margins, like all indies, so they need every sale they can get. I’m happy to up my book buying to do my part.

I didn't like Shelterwood either but unfortu lately did DNF it.

I need to read more of my physical TBR. I buy way more than I read. That’s definitely a goal of mine so I can catch up.

@@BookReviewsWithBecky This is pat of the scarcity mindset I mentioned in the video I did all about book buying habits. There will always be a book available to read, even if you have to download it to Kindle or grab one from the library! Just something to keep in mind!

Hope to read most of my 📚 haul in 2025. Joined your Patreon. Happy to be a part of it! Will figure it out later.

[@RescuesandReads]

I saw that and messaged you! So glad to have you Shari!! Don't forget to join the Discord! We are currently picking January's book club read and figuring out how we want to select monthly books going forward
