It’s that time of the month again..

Things got brutal this month!

I decided to finally take the plunge and remove a bunch of old backlist titles that I’m never going to get to as well as DNF a couple of titles I started and am realistically never going to continue.

There’s still a couple of more I’m on the fence about so I might make more cuts in July!

On top of that, I read a ton of ARCs as well! In fact 7 of the 10 books I’ve read so far in June have been ARCs. And I just started another.

Unfortunately.. I got a couple super late approvals that threw everything off. And some of my late 2021/early 2022 requests are coming in. Definitely need to chill with the request button for a bit 😅

I’m feeling a lot better now that some of those old titles aren’t clogging up my list. And I definitely think I’m going to purge some more next month.

I’m also really happy with how much I read this month. I just need to stop bringing in as many as I’m completing 😅 Maybe one day I’ll learn…
