August 1: I’m playing it by ear this month. Tired of the super detailed planning. I’ll add books to “books read” as I start them. Stay tuned!
August 2: Started Three Dark Crowns without reading the blurb. Hi, super intense opening!
August 14: got more reading done than I expected while recovering from oral surgery. Have been picking up books the moment they appeal to me instead of saying “soon” and setting them aside and it has been really refreshing.
I usually plan out a few books to read a month, but it started getting really boring. Ever since I just kind of made a few ARCs priority and let the rest just come to me, I’ve been having a much better time of it. But I am planning out my TBR a little more this month just because it’s ARC August. :/
Yes. I was feeling too much pressure so now I’m just looking for things I know I want to read early (if I have an arc) or things I have to read (prof. review) and then just picking from my shelves. It’s actually been very effective and reading books that have been sitting on my “to read bookcase” for a few years!
