Shin's Reading Diary 2017


Shin

Recommended Posts

It has been a long, long time since I have been on this forum and to be honest I haven't read as many books as I used too.  But I still have a TBR pile I need to get through and really do think being a part of this forum will help.  I did do a clear out of my books and donated those to charity I would not ever read.  I want to be a bit more minimalist in terms of my possessions and that includes my books.  I want to get through my TBR pile without adding more to it unless it is from a series that I am currently following.  I will not be purchasing any more books unless it is something I have been looking for and I get it from the charity shop or acquire it from the library.  I also crochet so that is why I find it hard to read a lot as well.  I know it is more than half way through the year but I hope this will set me up for this challenge in the new year.
