From the wonderful minds of The Emerald City Review and Lark Writes...On Books and Life
For one whole month (January 2015) I will ONLY be reading books that I already own. I will NOT be getting books from the library, or if I do I won't be reading them. I am always gathering piles and piles of books from the library to read and their ever looming due dates always make me lean towards reading them before my own. I am addicted to the library and it doesn't help that I work at one. Therefore, I hope that I can start the year off on the right foot by reading some of my own books from my TBR pile instead of just library books.
Without further ado... here are some of the books I own and still need/want to read. Perfect choices for this challenge.

ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm super excited for this challenge. :)
DeleteThis is a great challenge and a great way to start the year! I do the same thing all the time -- I love using my library, but it's good to have a balance between reading library borrows and books you own -- not always easy though, and probably even harder for you since you work in a library :) For me, I just need to decide to not go every once in a while to rein it in!
ReplyDeleteI love the library, but I have such a hard time putting my own books first when I have ALL the library books. lol Therefore I thought this challenge would be a good start to the year. Plus, I did get some good books for Christmas. :) I'm glad you use your local library. It always makes me smile when people talk about using their libraries. It seems like you have a really good balance too between using the library and reading your own books. Jealous.
DeleteHappy New Year - whatever you choose from your list I hope you will love them. I rely heavily on my library so this is a real challenge for me.
ReplyDeleteGOOD LUCK! I had the same problem for a while but I've gotten much better as of late. But I have a similar problem with ARCs and so my TBR still gets neglected. *Sigh*. There are some really good books on this list so I am looking forward to comparing thoughts and hearing your opinions om books I've been meaning to read!
