@@jessmmassey The accomplishment for clearing the cart deserves NAY demands to be filled back up. Is it really a TBR cart without books to be read. :D P.S. DNF'ing books is totally legal. If you don't vibe, let it fly. Replace it with a book you do want to read.

Wait you have 7 months!!! Still amazing to have the goal of 10 a month for any roll over in December! This is my first video of yours I’ve seen but have definitely followed and know you can do it!!

Ive never seen your page before but I love your vibe! I just love finding other mommas that enjoy reading like i do!

Can't wait to watch throughout the rest of the year and see you clear the cart! I have a huge TBR due to over-buying books when I really got into reading, and I've just decided to write all my books down, put them in a bag then choose three for the month otherwise I'll never get through them all.

I missed your videos!! I'm so glad that you are back!! I have so many books that are on my TBR and it has been a lot of fun trying to see how many books that I can read in a month. I have been reading a lot of book son KU which might not help me clear off my TBR but I have had a lot of fun reading from new authors and finding books that I would have never found otherwise.

I created a TBR game with wheels specifically to read down all of my owned TBR (kindle, audio & physical) but it def won’t happen by the end of the year 😂🤣 you got this!! Love you so big!!❤️🖤

This is a fun challenge to set and you've got me thinking of trying to put all my unread books in one spot but I think they would be WAY more than 60. LOL Maybe I should just put all the unread ones that I WANT to read in one spot. I hope you can get through the tandem read but I would say if you are NOT set on that to just read them individually. The tandem read thing intimidates me soooooo bad that I would just NOT read it at all. BUT I hope it works for you! PLEASE do a mid month check in so we can see how you're doing!

I'm also trying to do the tandem read of Empire of Storms & Tower of Dawn this month - I'm maybe a combined 100 pages in 😅 so far to go! But I believe in us haha 📚

I found A Million Junes at my local library without ever hearing anyone talk about it so I picked it up and it has stuck with me to this day! When I finished, I knew it was a good book but didn’t think id still be thinking about it a year later. Also I lovedd The Dead Romantics! I actually read it before The Seven Year Slip because I had to wait for it to be available at my library but The Dead Romantics was so good!

Always happy to see one of your videos! Especially a book one! 📚 the wishing game is on my priority list for this year. I think it might make a good summer Reid.

First time viewer here - I have the same cart and its full with unread books. You just inspired me to count and including preorders, I have 78 books to read. Eek! I'm a mood reader, too. I pick TBRs but they have to be flexible because my brain rebels if I make reading feel like a to do list. (I have three sons and a full time job, too.) I don't think I can realistically get through all those books before the end of the year (some of them are chunky fantasies) but I am trying to make a good dent in the cart this year. I only plan on borrowing from Libby/the library if I need something for the magical readathon in August. But yeah...nice to give ourselves a reality check every one in a while. Buying books is fun but it can get to be a bit much sometimes!

You can read the graham effect without reading the deal. It’ll make sense without reading the first series. The deal is about her parents when they were in college

Crescent city is on sale on Audible for $6.99 if you would rather tackle the audiobook.

Not a Swift or Maas fan either. The Hobbit was written for children, so it is a much easier read than his LOTR books. Hope you enjoy!

Would DEF recommend to listen to the audio book of the hobbit it’s sooooo good!! Listen to the one narrated by Andy Serkis you will have a great time 🤞🏼

Make sure you have a written reminder of all your preorders since you may forget to add them in you TBR. And tuck that paper between in the TBR cart so you won't forget it. Just a suggestion to help you with your TBR.
