Bailedbailed

Hey #BookSpin friends, does a bail still count?

I tried so many times, but could not get into this one. I think I'm going to take it to the little free library down the street. Maybe someone else will enjoy it!

Soubhiville Yes a bail counts, because you‘ve still taken it off your TBR. 👍😁 (edited) 3y
aroc Yes! Thanks @Soubhiville ! 3y
TheAromaofBooks @aroc - Yes!! @Soubhiville is completely correct - the goal is to get books off the list & sometimes a bail is the best way for that to happen!! 😂 3y
aroc @TheAromaofBooks Yay!! It feels good lol 3y

I did a little creative cutting today of some prefab shelves from Home Depot so I could add (sort of) matching shelves to the bookshelves in the living room. I managed to cut them to fit and now there are two more shelves than there were before. And after rearranging some books, there's even a little bit of room left. Time to buy more books! 😀 #Shelfie #TheresAlwaysRoomForBooks
