This year was definitely one for the books! 📚 My goal for the year was only 60 books but I was able to majorly surpass that! Mostly because I finally got away from #bookguilt
This year, I allowed myself to read as many cheesy romantic novels as I wanted whenever I needed a mood boost. I also bailed on a bunch of books that just didn't hold my interest instead of trying to push through.
I just read what I wanted to read whenever I wanted ☺️

rather_be_reading way to go! 🎉🎉 4y
peanutnine @rather_be_reading thank you! ☺️ 4y

My bedside always devolves into the stack of unread shame. I need to purge to the shelves of unread potential. Somehow I'm sure Matterhorn will remain for another year or so. #readinginbed #weeknightfun #bookguilt #bookstacks

• Ah...the reappearance of a book you thought you were finished with! I DNF‘d this one a month ago. I already gave up on her “Difficult Women” so I‘d like to get through at least one. It‘s more of that stupid book guilt. And also it was waiting for me at the public library after I had already returned a copy to the university library. I‘m almost halfway. We‘ll see what happens 😐 •

I‘m trying to fight through this awful cold with reading. But this book is totally not doing it for me. I left it, came back to it, I gave it 150 pages. But it‘s just not keeping my attention. It seems well written but very detailed, unnecessarily so. Also- does anyone else struggle with #BookGuilt when you rate a book badly? I feel badly when I say all these negative things. . . but I also feel the need to be honest. 🤷🏻‍♀️

cobwebmoth Hope you feel better soon! And yes, I suffer from book guilt, too. 7y
ElishaLovesBooks @cobwebmoth Thanks! The weather has finally turned nice and I‘m stuck inside! I‘m glad to know I‘m not the only one with #bookguilt #IFeelBetter 7y
Ingerella I have the worst book guilt! I'm so glad to know I'm not the only one! 7y
Samplergal That‘s why there are millions of books. Not everyone likes or should like every book. #NoGuilt (edited) 7y
ElishaLovesBooks @Ingerella I feel the same! @Samplergal I know you are right!! 7y

I'm calling it. 140 pages in and I'm still not sure what is driving this novel. The writing is lush and the people, interesting, but my to read stack is calling to me and I'm not going to finish this one. #bookguilt

rachel_mbc I really hate quitting books, but you know it's time when all you're thinking about is what else you could be reading. Hope the next one's better! 8y
kspenmoll No guilt allowed on Litsy! 8y

TFW you have crushing book nerd guilt about reading straight white guys and the diversity of your reading diet...then you get a (as of right now secret) project that involves...reading the whitest of the white guys! 😂 Hopefully the Baldwin and the fact I'm starting Homegoing today will help with the aforementioned guilt. #libraryhaul #bookguilt

AmandaL Homegoing is fantastic. I just put the last disc of the audio book in my car stereo for tomorrow's commute. 8y
ApoptyGina69 The Cheever bio has been in my TBR stack for ages. I'll move it up a little further. 8y
