I've been making progress (slowly but surely) and have kept myself from buying more books. I want to read everything I have before acquiring me! Plus, I need the room! ;) Jacob is building me a Little Free Library for my birthday, and I already have several books to put in there. I had been putting them in a cooler out front with a sign that said "FREE BOOKS," but people were taking AND leaving their own, so I was accumulating almost as many as I was giving away. <3<br /><br /><a href="http://www.doyoudog-ear.com/" rel="nofollow">Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬</a>Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-25343925692932010072020-06-09T17:44:34.506-04:002020-06-09T17:44:34.506-04:00I had seen talk here and there all during last yea...I had seen talk here and there all during last year about publishers doing away with most physical ARCs, with ARCs for bloggers and booktubers being the first to get cut. That's okay with me because my library won't take ARCs, even though both my sister and I told them the authors recommend donating them for the library used book sale, and the "not for resale" means retail sales. I hated trading and/or giving them away because of having to box and take them to the post office. 😛 I put my last few in some Little Free Libraries. 📚 La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-56807524317672575582020-06-09T13:33:48.592-04:002020-06-09T13:33:48.592-04:00At first the cart was just for arc's I wanted ...At first the cart was just for arc's I wanted to read for the month because there was no way they all fit on there lol I still have shelves of books but they are the keepers and ones I've already read.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958940283330319507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7047843651411739466.post-30665087854540969902020-06-09T13:32:24.860-04:002020-06-09T13:32:24.860-04:00I know!

It's meant to be my quest for 2020 to clear my shelves... and it's not happening. I also love your book trolley, I keep thinking maybe I should get one... then remember if I did all my unread books probably wouldn't fit on it. I wish you all the luck, I believe you can get your unread physical books down to a manageable level, I think that's all any of us want.

I remember when you first started reading through your TBR. I really need to organise my cart as well. It's basically a mess of review copies at the moment and need to cull my Goodreads down to those review copies I'm planning on reading, some aren't my thing unfortunately. You'll get through these in no time!

I get during COVID but I think it's just a money saving thing. Le sigh. Anyway, I am SO impressed that these are all your books TBR! Mine... would take about 400 carts. And yet, I still over-request.
