Carla B (carlamwestyahoocom) | 20 comments I'm in again. Didn't make ut in 2022 but thus us a new year! I have such an insane amount of books and need to get bk to shelving them here. I did start a 6 cubby bookshelf and pulled out 2023s TBRs. There are approx 160 on it, which I know ut won't get through but thats where I'm starting.

Carla B (carlamwestyahoocom) | 20 comments Wayyyyy behind on posting what I've read, but I am on track to possibly surpass my goal for this year. I believe I'm at about 63 books so far? I've been keeping track in a notebook and have been lazy about putting anything here. I'm on vac now but hope to get this updated within the week.


message 6: by Carla (new)

Carla B (carlamwestyahoocom) | 20 comments And after posting that, I still haven't updated. Right NOW I'm going to update my journal and shelve the books I've read since January and then post here . . . I believe I'm close to 100, which is wayyy out of character for me.
