Why I Got Ride Of 300+ Books

While I was on my staycation, I decided to do a huge unhaul. I was slowly trying to get rid of books using PangoBooks. I just wasn't selling books as fast as I wanted to get rid of them. I still highly recommend using PangoBooks if you're looking to sell because they make it so easy!

Before my unhaul, I had close to 1,000 unread books on my tbr. I now have about 650ish. I think that's enough reason to get rid of so many books 😂 A good chunk of the books I got rid of were young adult contemporaries, which I do not read anymore.

Another good chunk was fantasy books. I'm pickier about the fantasy books that I read now. I'm not going to pick up just any fantasy book because I see that it's hyped. I just know that that's not my favorite genre and I'm not going to keep pretending like it is.

These books were honestly sitting on my shelves just gathering all the dust. I had books on my shelves that I haven't read and they have been sitting there since about 2014.

I'm also wanting to get mostly e-books from now on. I don't want to keep loading up my living room with books.

So yeah, I will basically keep evaluating the books that I have and I will keep a stronger eye on the ones I want to buy physically. I will sell books on PangoBooks as I decide what else I want to get rid of.

Happenings Away From The Blog Hello and welcome back to my blog! I decided to start blogging again last week. I’m currently still going strong. By that, I mean I haven’t wanted to quit yet. I’m beginning to realize that going to WordPress is what makes me hate blogging. I’m not going back there again. In the coming weeks, I may not be blogging as much though. We’re in the process of moving so my spare time is either spent cleaning or packing. We haven’t moved since 2012 and I’m extremely nervous about this move. I’m also extremely annoyed that I have so many books to pack. As much as I love my books, I never thought I would ever have to move them. This is kind of part of the reason why I haven’t been buying as many physical books. Not much has happened work-wise. I got a super nice compliment from a client and it made me feel a lot better about what I do at work. I also took three days off, equalling five days off work. My son starts school again on Tuesday and I’m currently just helpi

Books On My Fall TBR!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by  The Broke and the Bookish and is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl . This week’s prompt is to talk about the books on our Fall TBR!  I'm not going to lie, I don't normally make any TBRs. I typically choose a book at random to read. I do this in order to make sure every single book on my TBR has a chance to be read. Babel by R.F. Kuag: I am actually dying to read this book. I have seen nothing but great reviews for this one. Luckily, if I love it, I already have two beautiful editions 😍 Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner: I actually have an arc of this one from NetGalley. I highly enjoyed Meryl's debut novel and I'm excited to see if I will feel the same about her newer release. Haunting Adeline by H.D. Carlton: Soooo many people have read and loved this book. I love a good dark romance and I'm definitely making sure I pick this one up soon. A Light In The Flame by Jennifer L. Armentrout: This one doesn't come out for a w
