i know this isnt a fashion channel but your fashion is incredible
AWWWWWWW OMG you seriously just made me feel so happy, thank you so much for saying that!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭💖🙏💌🥰
I'm joining you!🥰🥰 I have around 70 books on my physical TBR! It's going to be such an amazing feeling once we've read everything!😍😍
YESSSS Lotta LETs do this and be accountability partners!!!!!! I KNOW we can do this and get through our TBRs! I am going to really try to limit my book buying and really knock this out!
I think this is totally achievable, especially since you'll also be unhauling books that no longer interest you and also reading graphic novels which take less time! My physical tbr has been about the same since last year: 228. I'm trying not to buy/acquire more books, but it's so hard! Library book sales are so fun so that'll also be hard to resist. I believe in you! Good luck! ❤
AWWW Ypu are so kind Jess Thank you!!! I believe in you too!!!!!!!! I am so excited for this challenge!
I am hoping by December 2024 I will be able to check in and can share what progress I have made! But you are so right I find it SO hard to resist library book sales, I just want to take home everything!!!
In my physical TBR I have only 30 books. 😇I usually read at least one or two physical copies a month. I just love the feeling of holding a book, even the hard covers. It could be tiring for my hands to hold them, but I love the smell of books. 📚I love that you want your collection to have only books you love, this is also my goal. ❤❤❤ One reading vlog a month would be so great, I'll be really interested at watching your vlogs. 📖
MAYA 30 books is PHENOMENAL! I am totally drawing inspiration from you!!! I made really good progress in January with this project and I just know if I keep chipping away a little each month I will get there! I also LOVE the feel of a book and OHH the SMELL yes!!!!! It's so lovely going into a second hand book store and just the whole shop smells amazing!
I will have my first update video for this challenge up soon I am just finishing editing it so I cant wait to share my progress!!!💗🙌🥰📚💖
I think so many of us are in a very similar headspace this year. I have 111 books on my physical TBR right now and I'm really hoping to get it down to about 50 by the end of this year, which I think should be very manageable 😊 I think when you start to really work on it, it helps to deter you from buying books too. Best of luck with it, friend! 💛
It really is SO crazy, I feel like I have seen everyone also making reading from their shelves one of their intentions for 2024, like we are all on the same brain wave lol!!! I LOVE to see it though, I totally agree I think this goal is going to make me SO much more conscious about what new/unread books I bring into my house and just being SUPER intentional before I make any purchases! I wish you luck too, we can do this!!!! 🙌💯👏🎉
I have about 40 books on my physical TBR and more on my kindle TBR. I really need to do an un-haul of books I didn't like or won't re-read, but it's so hard when they have good covers!
Good luck to you, you can do it!
Thank you SO much, I really am so excited for this year and cant wait to see if I can get this goal done!
I have 21 books on my physical TBR, and even that number sounds daunting. I'd love to get through them though. Despite being a mood reader, I feel like all of these books are ones I still very much want to read. I hope you're able to tackle yours completely this year!
OHH 21 books is AMAZING! But I know too that number can be daunting because I think about how many books can I read in a year and now I have to factor in the library books I plan to borrow and new releases I want to check out, and so how many of that number can I ACRTUALLY get to in a year and it gets less and less realistic hahah!!!
This a great idea!!! I have the habit to prioritize my reading from library books that I check out 😊
MEEEE TOOOO OH MY GOSH! I am trying to balance this better because I really also will prioritize my library books!
Go, girl, go! You can do it!
HECK yes Lets do this!!!!!!!! whoo!!!
I think you can definitely accomplish your goal of 5 books a month. I’m the slowest reader on the planet so I know I couldn’t do it. 😅 But I’m cheering you on!! YOU GOT THIS!!!🎉🎉🎉
Honestly I am SUCH a slow reader! The one thing that has helped me to read more per month is audio books have just revolutionized my life! Thank you SO much - your encouragement means so much to me!!!
Hey love!!! Your makeup is FANTASTIC!!!! ❤❤
You're the best! OMG Thank you my friend!!!! 🥰💌💖
I love this! Such a challenge but very doable. I think 5 physical books a month is a great goal - I might try to set a physical tbr goal every month too 🙈 here’s to hoping we can do it! I think my physical tbr is over 100 books as well 🥴
THANK you Becca, omg I really hope I can pull this off but I agree I think 5 books a month is doable and hopefully with the ones I KNOW I need to just unhaul already this challenge will be easier than I think! WE CAN DO THIS! Lets be accountability buddies, I am rooting for us!!!!!
Omg monthly reading vlogs yes!!!! ❤❤
I nominate ME to do this challenge with you! I need to go count them and make my own video.
Also I forget if I've ever told you but the way you pronounce "Challenge" is quite possibly my favorite thing!
I am REALLY hoping to stick to the monthly reading vlog thing, I struggle to do vlogs hahah!! OMGGG YESSSS Emily lets do this challenge together OMG! Okay you are SO sweet, I need to rewatch this and see how I say that word hahah!!!!
i like the vlog idea!!! it also a goal of my own to reduce it!!! excited to keep watching!! i would be intreasted!
Thank you Laura!!! Absolutely I can't wait for the future of this year and to see how much progress I may be able to chip away at! I am so happy you are interested in also trying to challenge yourself to this goal and I look forward to keeping up with your progress too!!! 🥰💗🙏📚
yay I am attempting to get my physical tbr down to 0 as well!! I think its sooo great that this has become a trend recently.
it is exciting that you get to finally read all of your comics though! I can never help it, I pick up any comic as soon as I buy it so I never have any to read unless I buy them lol. I hope you get a chance to enjoy them finally.
Good luck on your goal !!!!!!!!
YESSSS omg I feel like I have seen so many people sharing this goal this year as well, I agree I LOVE this trend!!!! Lets read what we have!!
Oh gosh my comics have been overwhelming me so much this past week as I keep looking at my shelves, I just need to start reading one before bed every night and making a habit of it so I can start getting through them! 😅🙏
I am SO excited to watch your journey over this year with this as well and I KNOW we are going to both do amazing and make great progress!!! 💯💯💯
good luck on this! I think I have at least 130 books on my owed tbr that includes audio and ebooks.
130 books I think is fantastic, especially across audio and e-book!!!! Thank you so much! 😭🙏💯
If I counted my unread physical books, I might have a heart attack. I am doing the read what you own challenge though, and will be unhauling anything that isn't a 4 or 5 star as I go. I was def. inspired by you to only hold onto books I loved.
YES okay I truly think that is a PHENOMENAL goal to just take your physical tbr as you go and focus on when you do read a book from it, only keeping it if it is a 4/5! I am really sticking to the same goal as well that I will probably end up unhauling quite a few books over the course of the year! I just see one day looking at my shelves and hearing the "HAUUUUU" like angel/light sounds hahahha! 😇👼🎶🎵🎼
I'm doing the Read What You Own challenge and have like 48 books to go. Its super hard when there are so many book clubs I want to participate in, but I'm slowly getting there. And my unread books are like double your amount! 😂
Ohhh that challenge sounds really great, and you are really making great progress!!! Also I feel like I need to see your book shelves now hahah! You probably have the best collection!!! I know it is slow progress reading all our collection but I know eventually we will do it slowly but surely!
Love this goal! good luck!
Thank you!!💗🥰💌
I love this idea!! I think there’s such a fine line between holding yourself accountable and trying to keep up with other people so 5 books a month is perfect! 💗🫶🏻 I’m totally here to be accountability buddies 😆 my goal is to read one book a week and hoping I can stick to it 🙏🏻📚✨
I totally agree! I think 5 books a month is the sweet spot that will hold me accountable to achieve this goal but is also a manageable amount! YES oh my gosh I would love to be accountability partners, lets check in with each other on this! I think 1 book a week is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!
Ughhh I need to do this too! I’m taking a different approach - I’m going to try to read new books by the receipt return date, as a deadline that’s already written down. That keeps me from buying too many books, which means I’m pulling from my shelves more.
I’m looking forward to your vlogs! It will be great to see what backlist books and hidden gems have been hiding in your stash! 💜💜👻👻👻🌺🌺🌺
OHHH I LOVE this approach to try reading books by the receipt return date!!!!!! I am TOTALLY someone who works well when I have a deadline I need to stick to because it helps make me accountable so this sounds like such a great plan! 🥰🙌💯
I am excited to share my progress for month one with my first update video which should be up soon!!! I made so much progress in January it just totally started this year off on the right foot for me!!!💌📚👏
I feel like you can definitely read 55 books from your physical TBR this year!
Absolutely! Im gonna get it done!
Ugh my last comment went to spam (too many emojis I guess) so sorryyy if you’re getting this twice! But yes I need to read what I own too. I focus on staying on top of new purchases and reading them by the return date on the receipt, just because it’s easy to save the receipt and keep track. That means I’m bringing in fewer new books.
I’m excited for your vlogs! I want to see what backlist books and hidden gems you end up loving!
AWW that is totally okay and I HATE when that happens, Ive had it too and I feel like dang youtube should know I am not a bot at this point with the amount of time I spend on this app LOL! 😅😅😅
Good luck!! I’m currently hanging at about 72 books on my list and Lordy, idk if that will be 0 by the end of the year 😂
Ohhh that is SUCH a good number that I think is really manageable to read even if not this year maybe by next! I am being so much more conscious about what I am bringing in going forward!😅💗📚🙏
I haven't done a full review of everything in a little while, but according to my dedicated Goodreads shelf, I own 224 books that I have not yet read 😬😅
I do actually think the real number is under 200 at this point, but I definitely have some work to do, haha
YESSS ya know what though 224 isnt even bad of a number honestly and I KNOW that you can get those read slowly but surely!🙌📚💯 That is something I have to keep reminding myself too is like well it won't happen over night but a few books a month (and hopefully not bringing in as many new books as well too haha!) and we will have everything on our shelves read!!!! aND THEN at that point I can start side-eyeing my digital TBR which truly is out of control LOL! 😅😅😅
Good luck! I'm working on this too 😂
YES we can do it Katrina!
My goal is taking mine from 70+ to at least 50. I don’t think I can quite get it to 0 but 50 feels more doable for me. I figure even if I end up DNFing any it will still be a win as then I will drop them off at little free libraries near me.
YESSS okay I LOVE that goal to take yours from 70 to 50!!!!! I think that is very mangeable and also a really great number to stick to! I TOTALLY agree too about the DNFing! I think I will go through mine a lot faster than I think because I will probably end up dnf'ing quite a few! 😅
I have 48-50 books on my physical TBR. Not much, but I'm a really slow reader.
Honestly I am a super slow reader as well, audiobooks have helped but when I read physically it takes me forever to finish a book! I think 50 books on your physical TBR is so manageable and I know you will get those read!
@@mikalareads Yeah audiobooks are so helpful. Thankfully some are available on audiobook. But others aren't. And you're right 🙂 I'll get through them all one day. As will you.
MANIPULATED LIVES: Unmasking Social Media's Shadow please review this book 📕 😇
I have around 67 unread 🫣 trying so hard to get through them but my Aardvark subscription I was gifted is 3 new books per month!
OKAY 67 is honestly SO good and you can definitely get those read!!!! OHH that seems like a phenomenal deal though through Aardvark!!!
