So I decided to take last week’s advice from the lovely Eva from Novel Deelights and seriously clean up my TBR. And I’m happy to say that after eliminating anything with a rating under 3.5 and anything added prior to 2017 that didn’t still really attract my attention I was able to reduce my Goodreads TBR from 914 to (drumroll please) 🥁

 

# of Books Still on my Goodreads TBR List: 315 (😊)

 

 

# of NetGalley ARCs Outstanding: 10

 

 

# of Books Read in the #20BooksofSummer Challenge: 12/20

🎉 (8 More to Go!) 🎉
