Recently I’ve seen a lot of people on YouTube doing videos where they either have to read a book or unhaul it, or they even look back at hauls to see if they’ve read what they added to their shelves. We take a look back at our bookhauls every month, but that’s always looking back to the previous year.
What about the books I added to my shelves since we started this blog? So I decided to do a bookshelf check-in once every month or so. Take a look back at bookhauls from years ago to see what I’ve read, unhauled, and haven’t read. If I still own a book and haven’t read it, I will try and read it that month. It’ll be good to be a bit more aware of what’s been on my shelves for years. Let’s take a look back at September & October 2017! Our first two bookhauls.
