Fantasy Buddy Reads discussion

Okay so I've been binging Marie Kondo's show on Netflix (in the room with my 4 overflowing bookshelves), which really forced me to look through my collection and realize only about half of it has "sparked joy in me". So after selling and donating about 100 books that I will never read or I just didn't care to keep, I have a manageable physical collection.
This year (and, most likely next), my goal is to read my unread books for the foreseeable future (insert crying emoji here-edit 12/12/21):

Total physical books 9/63

I know I will most likely not finish this year because I'm in school right now, so most of my reading is done with audiobooks (which I do not have a surplus of, yay me).

Unless I decide to join a buddy read, I am going to try not to buy any more physical books until I have read (or decided to get rid of) 10 physical books. I really hope I can make a dent this year! Wish me luck! Reader, I bought more books lol

Lol 1000 points for the title. Good luck!

Haha, love the title :p
Good luck with your challenge :D

Ah, you also discovered Marie Kondo :D Good luck!

Oh man, only one down. I'm not so good at this whole reading thing lately lol
But Assassin's Apprentice was really good, and I can't wait to get the next one!

Oh dear, looking back at this I have not made much more progress on my physical books. I'm almost exclusively an audiobook person now because I have to be doing something with my hands if I'm sitting still... Maybe I'll come back to this to try and get in the habit of reading again.

yea it's what brought me here!

Emily, if you haven't read it yet, would you like to buddy read A Tree Grows in Brooklyn? I've had it on my TBR for the longest time...please let me know...
I can start anytime after Nov 1.

See now a good BR can help with that...

Ooop sorry Zaara, I just now saw your comment. I would be up for it if you still are. Maybe after Christmas/New Years? Let me know :)
