Mine is a little different than the ones you see all over booktok, bookstagram or booktube, for two reasons.
Reason one - I decided to use star stickers and go through all the books I physically own and put stickers on the ones I have read. According to goodreads I own 300 ish books. I know I am missing a few. That doesn't count comics or graphic novels just books. I may have 7 comic boxes, 3 are already read and 4 to be read lol Anyway the page of stickers has 54 stars on it. I used 31 of those stars. So that means I have 269 books on my physical tbr Now that doesn't count my Harry Potter books, or companion ones. That is another 120 ish books. Seeing it in black and white I am thinking that's not too bad. I just hope I don't have too many uncatalogued books. I will worry about that another day lol
Reason two - I started the year doing my first ever reading prompt challenges. 7 challenges to be exact. But what I didn't take into consideration that 3 of them would have mini challenges coming out from time to time throughout the year. Which to date is another 17 (which doesn't include 3 I have completed) plus the end of the year isn't here yet so more to come. The bulk of those have no set date and I know they don't need to be done but what is the fun in that. I know I have plenty of time yet. I have a list of books printed up to keep me focused on the books I need to read. But at the same time I am like help. I must be crazy.
I am already thinking about next years challenges and I plan to cut back to 3 or 4 main challenges so I am not so overwhelmed when the mini ones come out.
Anyway I have read 35 books.
21 physical books, 14 kindle books, 9 where graphic novels.
Five were 5 star reads, four were 3 stars, the rest were 4 stars.
Oh dear god, you don't even what to know how many books I have on my kindle that needs to be read. lets just say almost 1300 ish 😱
Anyway here's my mid year freak out. Do I have a reason to freak out?
