I randomly pick books from a jar that includes only books I've bought in 2024 and either read them or unhaul them.

I enjoyed the video but did miss the fun of picking more books out of the jar to decide. I think it’s a great idea to add the new books to the jar as you acquire them. Can’t wait for the next read it or not!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

@@kerisbookishcorner2864 yeah… only reading 2 books wasn’t as fun!

[@nancypickard3456]

So glad you lived The Frozen River! I also have a TBR jar. All books go in the jar. When I acquire new books, I create slips for those books and add them to the jar. I would become confused with two jars as to which books are in which jar, when do 'new acquisitions' become 'old acquisitions and put into the larger jar...to much to manage for me. Hope you figure out what works for you!😊

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Thanks for the advice, Nancy!

[@tammyle3912]

Yes add all the books!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@juanap132]

Theo cam.! "Weeell..."😂

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

He's such a little vlogger... 🤣

[@brewedandbookmarked]

The Frozen River was one of my favorite reads this year. I just loved the way the author portrayed Martha Ballard's character as a very strong woman.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Yes! And to read the author’s note at the end and see how closely the author stuck to her real life. Super great story!

[@tibbarasden]

The Goblet of Fire is my favorite as well. Loved seeing Mable and the other little girl dancing, so cute.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

That’s her cousin, Remi! They had a great time dancing the night away 😊

[@alissajoelle5443]

I want to listen to the HP audiobooks…my friend raves about them. I haven’t reread since I was in grade/middle school and reading them as they were published!

[@alissajoelle5443]

And as always, love your videos!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

My husband and I have listened to the audiobooks - SO GOOD! I hope you enjoy them!

[@barbararyba734]

Ok, I don't comment on your videos but I have to with this one. I really appreciated Frozen River. You complimented her writing. Did you forget the love story between the midwife and her husband? Did you not just love that portion? What about the job of a midwife in that time period? All that character went through was amazing. Sorry Bekah, to be fair you are trying to read a very complicated story with young children jumping in the swimming pool and making over your bedroom so I can appreciate your opinion. Just wanted to jump in to share my thoughts.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Yep! I totally noticed all of those things. To be fair… I read about 250 pages all in one day and didn’t update in between, so I definitely missed out on mentioning those things. I read a really great book amidst living my life, so I don’t see how that’s an issue!

[@readknitwithcheryl]

I love Theo and Mable! I mean, I enjoy watching you talk about books too, but let's be real, your kids are the real stars of the show! Lol. I really want those illustrated Harry Potter books. I'm glad you got them at a good price! Thanks for all the work you put into your videos, Bekah!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Hahahah I get it, they're the real stars! 🤣 I'm so glad we own them and we'll introduce our kids to HP through the illustrated versions.

[@angieispuzzled]

I'm really enjoying these read it or not blogs. I've added several books that I've ended up enjoying to my TBR because of them. I've read the Frozen River due to a previous video where you mentioned it and I loved it. It was exactly my type of book. One of the other books I read because you had it in an earlier read it or not challenge was The Home for Unwanted Girls, which I also really enjoyed.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

I'm so glad you're getting great reads from my recommendations!

[@jaynehunter-ar]

I'm stunned that you found those HP books on FB marketplace! Amazing! As for your jar...hmmm...I think I'd keep what you have with 2 separate ones and pick out of the newer acquisition jar once a quarter or something, maybe in a month like this where you were able to do both. I'm sure it's hard to know exactly how your new job will impact what you want/need to read so it seems wise to keep your current status quo until you get a feel for it. I've recently thought that I need to challenge myself some month to read all of the books I acquired the previous month-I'm always so excited for the new things but they sometimes get buried by the backlist.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Thanks for the suggestion. You're right.. maybe keeping things how they are for now is safe!

[@JaniceIsLearning]

@@BekahBooksandBujoI say keep the 2024 books separate until the end of the year to see how many you get through, then add them to the other jar.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

@@JaniceIsLearning Great idea!

[@Kittyzero13426]

Fun little twist and always a good idea to do something new. Happy reading!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Thank you! 😊

[@beyondthepages8022]

Love this idea and this video is amazing. Good job Becca.

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Thank you 😊

[@ManorClassics]

I love the music in your videos! Who was the artist/songs in this one?

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Her name is Ira Wolf!

[@ManorClassics]

@@BekahBooksandBujo Cool, thanks!

[@melissajackson4173]

You know what? I love Harry Potter……shhh! Don’t tell anybody. HA!

[@BekahBooksandBujo]

Same 😅
