It’s a three day weekend for this mermaid, and I’m spending it by reading as much as I can. Oh, and I may or may not be trying again to watch Shadowhunters in between books. A girl needs a break from reading, sometimes.
Although I have noticed that I haven’t had an actual meal since Friday afternoon. I think that’s bad.
I love Destiny @ Howling Libraries so much, and thank you so much to this lovely soul for hosting and creating this weekly meme.

Like I said, I was adding things left and right BUT I do think that I am almost done with my clean up! I didn’t think that I’d ever get that far, but I guess I’m slowly getting better at being more intentional about my TBR. I think after this one, I’ll actually write about what makes me decide to get rid of it.

Whatever I said in my paragraph above was totally wrong.
I’m trying! I swear.


But seriously how can I stop borrowing books from my library until after I’m done reading all of my ARCs because… geez. I mean sometimes I do need a break from ARCs and I like to go back to my backlist but I feel like I’m not having a good balance. I’ve heard some people say that they read one ARC a week, and I think that’s a pretty good strategy. I feel like I may need to do a little more to catch up though.
I hope you all have a great Monday, with or without a holiday break!

Every time I see you post another one of these, I always think “I want/need to do that!” and then I think I intentionally avoid it because my tbr is BEYOND ridiculous and it’s just so easy to pretend that it doesn’t grow exponentially every few weeks 🙈

I definitely read at least one arc a week, if not two. It’s the only way I get through them. And then the ready of the week is dedicated to my library loans or books I own :)))

I can so relate on ARCs and library books or just ARCs and Non-ARCs lol. It’s fun to be on top of new/upcoming releases but there are so many great books already on the TBR waiting.

Haha I have a massive library problem as well. I promised myself I would read more of my own books this year and then I started taking absolutely everything out of the library. I couldn’t help myself because it was free *facepalm*

I feel like there are so many freaking books in the world… I’ve never heard of any of these! And yes, I think 1 ARC a week would help balance everything out! I think ARCs are so exciting to get but then after you read a bunch you start to really miss backlist books! That’s how I am anyways. But then again, you are WAY better at keeping up with ARCs than I am 😅
