Farewell, Bleak House? Are you going to try it again in the future?
ReplyDeleteYes, I was reading it for my book club, and I fell behind. Plus, I was already reading too much, and it wasn't my favorite to go to; so I will return to it at a different time in my life.
DeleteI'm working hard at thinning my TBR shelves too. #TheUnreadShelfProject is really helpful with that, and I'm almost down to my goal for this year, which is good since people often give me books for Christmas...
ReplyDeleteThat's great! But now Christmas is coming soon!
DeleteSince I moved in Feb, I have received ten books as gifts, which rarely happens, and it has totally set me back in my unreadshelf project.
Yes, I learned over the last two years of doing the challenge that I should get to my goal well before Christmas and then work down a bit below it so that, if I got books as gifts, it wouldn't make me suddenly above my goal with no time left to remedy it.
DeleteStill, having lots of books left to read is not actually a "problem," right?
I feel like it is a problem because some time ago I had a talk with myself...and I am not allowed to personally buy any new books until I read down this list!!! (And so I've been visiting the library a lot. LOL!)
