Four bags of signed books picked up at B&N's Black Friday sale today. Mostly prizes for work over the next year but some gifts for family, some gifts for silent auction, and even a few for me. I went in with a list and stuck to it but still I tried to avoid looking at the registers total when it was all said and done.

LizzieChantree Wow! 🌈📚 6y

LauraJ A total win for you! 6y

Updated my “purchased this year” #bujo shelf ... so far I‘ve purchased about 85 books. So much for my buying cut back 🤦🏼‍♀️ ... I have read 94 books this year though so I guess it balances.

StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego Very pretty. That's a really good idea to keep track of the books your buying. I should do the same. Then maybe I won't buy so many. 😄 6y

OrangeMooseReads @StillLookingForCarmenSanDiego thank you. It has been handy when I remember to keep it updated lol 6y

Bookcation74 What a great idea to record all your purchases! I‘m not sure I would want to see my list 🙈 6y

OrangeMooseReads @LeslieO Thank you. 6y

OrangeMooseReads @Bookcation74 thank you. Lol I was a bit surprised when I updated today, didn‘t realize I‘d bought so many. 6y

I‘m excited about my new method of choosing my next read! I wrote all my #1001Book titles that I own on post-it notes, folded them up and threw them into a bowl! This will help me stick to my resolution of reading my shelves! #TBRBowlOfDestiny

Morr_Books What did you pick? 7y

AshleyHoss820 @Morr_Books The first book chosen by the Almighty Bowl was

Sons and Lovers

AshleyHoss820 😊😊😊 7y

Morr_Books Nice! 👍 Own it but haven't read it. Can't wait to hear how it is. My husband insists I use a computer algorithm to choose... boring. 7y

AshleyHoss820 @Morr_Books I was in the same boat! This particular book has been sitting on my shelves for a LOOONG time! While computer algorithms can be useful, this is way more pretty! 😂😂🤣🤣 7y

Leniverse Sons and Lovers is the only D.H. Lawrence book I have genuinely liked. Not that I have read all of his work, mind you, but what I have read has ranged from "meh, alright" to "I think I would rather clean the toilet than read another page". But Sons and Lovers I thought was really good. 7y

AshleyHoss820 @Leniverse I‘m really glad to hear that!! I‘ve hear that Women in Love is a bit frustrating, so I‘m glad that Fate gave me this one first! 😄 7y

Leniverse I started Women in Love in January. Managed to get halfway through it. 😑 I still mean to finish it. This year. I'm just not sure how to get through it. Possibly by venting a lot on Litsy! 😆 7y

ValerieAndBooks Fun idea! How many slips are there 😊? 7y

AshleyHoss820 @Leniverse That sounds like a good idea! 😄😂 I‘m kinda dreading it! 😄 7y

AshleyHoss820 @ValerieAndBooks I JUST added my Kindle books too, so it‘s probably close to 400. 😄😊😱 7y

Liz_M Looks like fun! I can't always bring myself to read a random book, but make it a challenge and reading a random book for points that's a different story. 😁 7y

AshleyHoss820 @Liz_M I 😄😄😄 I agree! If I make it a game, it‘ll go better! So far, I am really liking Sons & Lovers. I‘m almost half done. So, the TBR Bowl of Destiny is 1/1! 😂😂😂 7y

Looking at my bookshelf is slightly depressing now. I am in the process of buying/moving into a house (and out of my apartment) & the easiest thing to start packing up was my books. I ran out of boxes though.

jfalkens The few times I moved I always found my books hardest to pack 😨 I was always nervous I'd pack it and then want to read it 😱 7y

GlassAsDiamonds Oh that always sucks! Unsolicited advice: go buy yourself a few disparate things you‘ve wanted for ages, wrap them in nice paper and pack them (like a book, a kitchen something, a nice candle etc), then as you‘re unpacking: gifts to yourself for packing and unpacking!!! I found it a great motivation to get the boxes gone and such a morale boost when you‘re at the “so I *really* care enough about this thing to pack/unpack it?” Stage & Good luck!! 7y

jackilynn @GlassAsDiamonds 😱😱I love that idea!! Now to figure out what to buy myself 🤔 7y

GlassAsDiamonds @jackilynn 😊😊😊😊 It works *REALLY* well!!! Make sure you get things for different boxes too, to space out the motivation 😊😊😊😊 (I recommend candles, books, a funky bath mat and new fantastic slippers. Not too many, just a sprinkling of fun 😊). 7y

Another great library book sale haul. All for $9.50!
Some for me and some for my book exchanges.
Cozies, two new old Agathas, another tea book, Nefertiti, and a few books by some of my favorite authors.
#bookhaul

LeahBergen That's a great haul! 7y

EvieBee Nice! I loved...and ever since I always looks for Moran‘s books. I like her take on women in history.

Nefertiti: A Novel

MaleficentBookDragon @EvieBee when I was a kid I was obsessed with anything Egyptian. I'm excited to read this. 7y

When you have an imbalance of books to bookshelves (and kitty). Eagerly awaiting arrival of BOOKCASE to fix this but patience is NOT my strong suit.

Joining the discussion started by @dariazeoli about our shelves on #Goodreads. My shelves are quite boring. Mainly by year and format. Looking at them closely I think I need to get rid of DNF. Maybe I should combine my audible and audiobook shelves as well (I was differentiating audible from library audiobooks.)

Marchpane Is that accurate, you don't ever DNF? Or just don't bother tagging them? 7y

Sace @Marchpane I don't bother tagging which is why I'm thinking I don't even need the shelf. 7y

Sace @Marchpane I DNF like a boss. 😁 7y

See All 12 Comments

Marchpane 👏👏 😂 7y

Marchpane Do you use the stats section? It gives a breakdown by year which is why I don't bother with shelves for those. 7y

Sace @Marchpane I do. I should probably go back and remove past years' shelves. Aren't you supposed to use year tag for the challenge though? 7y

Marchpane My challenge works without it, I think it's fine as long as you set a 'date read' then you don't need a shelf for the year. 7y

Sace @Marchpane for some reason I had it in my head you needed the tag. But what you say makes sense. 7y

dariazeoli I shelf by year as a double check but maybe it's too redundant 🤔 7y

Sace @dariazeoli that's what I started to think. I mean, I always put the date I read it. And the stats page organizes by year for me. All I want to know is how many books/pages I read in a year. Stats does that for me. 7y

Clare-Dragonfly It's funny to me to see people wanting to get rid of shelves! I have lots of shelves, some of them quite specific, and I like it that way. 7y

Sace @Clare-Dragonfly and that's awesome! 7y

I'll be reading or listening to all but two of these, the kids magic book and sleeping in the ground by Peter Robinson are destined for my Heartland Little Free Libraries right away. I'll be attending an author talk later this month with the author of a 1000 mile walk on the beach! Book love! 😊📚♥️

A little more than 1/2 there. Reading slowed down after Desperation Road. Nothing could compare to this now TOP 5 book for me. Getting back to it now that I have decided the next book will not be as good. But, I hope to find another GREAT book.

Kaylamburson I just picked up Leave Me today, and I've had All is Not Forgotten for a while now, but haven't read it. What did you think of those?

Leave Me

(edited) 7y

Pelican71 I wholeheartedly agree. So good

Desperation Road

LisaJo @Kaylamburson All is Not Forgotten was an interesting read. I could not put it down once I started it. It leaves you with some moral questions. It was recommended by a friend. Leave Me is the July choice for the library book club I belong to. Short chapters make it a quick read. I would recommend both books. However, they are no Desperation Road. I'm going to sell that book to everybody I meet. It is that good. 7y

LisaJo @Pelican71 RIGHT!!! So good. I cannot express in words how well written and what good storytelling is this book. 7y

Kaylamburson Okay, I guess I'll have to read all three then, @LisaJo!! I'm excited to see what Desperation Road is all about. 7y

I pulled our last 3 boxes of books out of storage today! We're in the middle of a crazy thunderstorm right now so I'm just hoping that
A) our power stays on long enough to unpack them and
B) we don't get flooded and have to evacuate again

Woo hoo!!! Great book haul this week 📚😁
A few purchases - some gifts and some for me, Arc donations from our local Barnes & Noble, a couple wins, and a stop at my local library for the final book in Ellery Adams Oyster Bay series (I'm sad to see this series ends 😢). Many of these will be going into the Heartland Little Free Libraries soon! Fun book week 😁📖📚❤

Hey, listen @bookriot you asked. I've been reading like this, with minor tweaks to the system, for about 7 years.

Litsy has introduced me to audiobooks and I'm tackling them in the same genre order, just 'cause that's what I do.

New Neil Gaiman books take toooooootal precedence.
