I need to go through them all and do an excel spreadsheet but it seems like such a daunting task eep.<br /><br />I've taken to writing down a list of books I think I might want, and not allowing myself to buy them for at least a week (or a month, if I'm feeling patient). It's amazing the amount of books I don't buy - although...that doesn't mean I don't take advantage of kindle freebies oops!<br /><br />I wish you the best of luck getting through these (they really do look pretty on the floor!)

They were books I just had to have, but some three years later and they're still siting there. I have books still in bookshops backs on my library floor. I don't request publisher books anymore (I think I've requested four or five in almost two years actually), but they're lovely enough to send me unsolicited copies. I'm so thankful we don't have book festivals in a way, no doubt I'd end up being maimed by a bookshelf 😂Diva Booknerdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17808412083567644984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-30848600525832324192017-01-21T10:56:39.055-05:002017-01-21T10:56:39.055-05:00Girl, you are SO speaking my language right now!

This is why I never, EVA got an Instagram and I hardly ever take pictures on Twitter or for my blog posts because I want everything to be all nice and laid out but I don't have the patience for all that. teehee! I wish I could be awesome and take pictures and then post them on Instagram but... maybe one day. I too, have a bunch of books on my Kindle that I have YET to read. It gets me excited knowing I have so much to read and then it makes me feel totally overwhelmed. *sigh*Keionda @Keionda Hearts Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029271435528363669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-64435203690585668612017-01-20T17:01:17.129-05:002017-01-20T17:01:17.129-05:00You are mean to ask what my pile looks like.

LOL Unfortunately I'm actually not far off with that being my reality. :) I still fall for the hype as I get so curious but I'm getting those at the library so it doesn't clutter up my pile more. However, it also doesn't diminish my pile either. :) Oh ... and...

I just feel an enormous amount of pressure and then shut down when I do. But in this case I feel the need to see what I'm dealing with and make a plan.
