I'm going to try and be better when I go back...and leave room in my life for my own books, too.

And it actually forced me to read books from my own shelves, which was really good. I have fewer TBRs now, and a newfound appreciation for the library. :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-71150120370818926702015-01-31T11:30:30.843-08:002015-01-31T11:30:30.843-08:00It sounds like an interesting way to start your ye...It sounds like an interesting way to start your year! I have a pretty big bunch of books to be read, so I try to alternate between my book, library book, and a book for review. It doesn't always work that way, though...Lindseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00333927782181943347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-26318265610824703772015-01-30T18:07:08.135-08:002015-01-30T18:07:08.135-08:00I got to pick up a book that I'd put on hold b...I got to pick up a book that I'd put on hold before the TBR Dare stared, and it was nice to be back in the library :) But I couldn't linger, so I wouldn't be tempted. I'll look forward to hearing more about your library reading!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17782561487396697870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-16926760456380050492015-01-30T13:59:17.523-08:002015-01-30T13:59:17.523-08:00So true! :)So true! :)Lark https://www.blogger.com/profile/13777891312147377769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-57380579587459861162015-01-30T13:59:00.236-08:002015-01-30T13:59:00.236-08:00I love revisiting books and finding out that I lik...I love revisiting books and finding out that I like them even more the second time around.

I hate buying books. It is so frustrating to buy a book and then not even be satisfied with it. I've depended largely on NetGalley and print ARCs for a while, but now that I'm back to the library, I'm checking out early copies of authors whose books I've enjoyed. <br /><br />Most of the books on my shelves are books I've loved and decided to keep, both fiction and nonfiction. I think some re-reading is in order!jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-19922632359463869762015-01-29T14:25:58.793-08:002015-01-29T14:25:58.793-08:00It was the perfect way to start the year.

I ended up reading exactly what I had planned, but that was because somehow I happened to be in the mood for it -- it was good to know I was free to change my mind. I am definitely ready to get back to the library though!Loryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08519976394732029323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578922587252275029.post-72811912047522605362015-01-29T12:14:36.839-08:002015-01-29T12:14:36.839-08:00Glad you enjoyed your library-free January!

I only wish I could have made it through more books on my shelves. As I head back to the library, I think I want to still make time for books I own. Sigh...so many books, so little time!!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13083922062271665231noreply@blogger.com
