Love Your Library: December 2021

16 books this month, 1 #ARC, 10 from the library and 5 from Kindle Unlimited.

My Christmas RomCom project results were…uneven. I loved four, liked three just fine, and thought that three were…eh. To be fair, I did not give it the full month (next year, I will plan better) and there were a ton of books that I wanted to read that were still on a library hold come 12/31 (again, next year, I will plan better). Overall…yeah, overall I would say that it was a worthwhile exercise.

So, I started the TBR clean out this week. There are probably more on that list that I just need to come to terms with, but I did take a first pass and tossed everything that I know I’m not interested in right now. I also removed a couple that I bought the Audiobooks for. HOWEVER, there are a bunch of new releases in January on there now, so it’s really not any more manageable. Sigh. Good thing these aren’t real books. They’d collapse and suffocate me.

So, that’s the current state of my virtual library pile. What do you have out from the library now?
