My Goodreads goodreads.com/user/show/1772891-summer
Also mentioned was Matthew @MayberryBookclub for his video “It’s Fruitcake Weather “.
My Rules
1. I can’t buy any books at all until I read 500 of my own.
2. I can read any book from the library, it just doesn’t count towards my 500.
3. I am allowing myself to DNF a book after 100 pages and it still count it towards my 500.
That’s it. I’ll be making a list of books that I can buy after I’ve completed this goal. It will probably take 4/5 years. Hopefully I’ll be debt free by that time 🤞
I’ve read 3 books so far.
1. Truman Capote’s short stories .
2. Laughing at my Nightmare by Shane Burcaw
3. Caroline by Sarah Miller
Good luck to everyone who’s doing this challenge 😊💪🏼
