Stacking The Shelves: 2020 Edition


I am combining two great weekly blog hops:  Stacking The Shelves by Team Tynga's Reviews, and Sunday Post by Caffeinated Reviewer.  I hope to read as many of the blogs from these two hops as possible because I love to see what everyone is reading!

If you enjoy my blog, please consider following me at Bloglovin, Goodreads, or Twitter.  Let me know you're a new follower so I can follow you back!

Personal Update:
It's been a time of great change in my house since school started.  I changed jobs, and my youngest child went off to college VERY far away!  And while all these changes are very good things, they've been huge adjustments for me and my family.  Plus, it has forced me to face the fact that I am getting older and need to be thoughtful prioritizing how I spend my limited free time.

With all this reflection, I am naturally rethinking how much energy I want to spend on books and blogging.  I really love books and sharing my thoughts with others on what I've read.  But I want to be deliberate in what I do.  I don't want to just read anything, just because I can get an ARC for free.

I write this as I look over at my overflowing bookshelves!  So my intention for this year is to actually read what I already own!  

With a goal of reading 10 books a month (normal for me), here is my game plan:

ARC's:  2 to 3 per month
Library Books:  2 to 3 per month
Books I own:  at least 4 per month

I do still plan on buying one book a month to participate in a local book club, but I will TRY to limit myself to just the one book.

Can I do this?
