Get ready for a big post haha! Last year Candyce and I looked at our 2017 bookhauls to see how many books we read. Today I’m going to look at my 2018 bookhauls and next week Candyce will look at hers. I’m really scared as I think I bought a LOT of books in 2018 and probably haven’t read that many… let’s jump in haha.
I only got 4 books in January and have read three. This starts off decently haha. It is also going to remind me of so many books I want to read right away haha.

I have to say, I was expecting so much worse than this! While writing the post I was hoping for a slightly better result as there were some really good months. But overall I’m quite happy. There are a couple more books I might want to unhaul but there are also quite some books I want to read right away! Which of my TBR books should I pick up first? Let me know in the comments!
That’s some big hauls in March and December! I reckon you’ve done better than I would have!!!
