We look back at our bookhauls from the previous year every month, but we also thought it would be interesting to look back at a few years ago to see how much we’ve actually read. Hopefully this will also be motivation to pick up books we still haven’t read or maybe even do an unhaul. This will probably be a pretty long post, haha. I’m looking back at every book I got in 2019 to see if I’ve read them. Let’s jump in!

2019 Wrap Up
Read: 52/96 – 54,2%
TBR: 43/96 – 44,8%
Unhauled: 1/96 – 1%

I have to say, I’m not too mad at this one. This was a time when I bought a lot more books so I’m not surprised I got 96 new books in 2019. That’s an average of 8 per month. And I have read over half of these books! Hopefully I can pick the other half up soon. Seeing them here reminded me I really want to read some of these books. Have you read any of them? Which one should I start with? Let me know in the comments!
