bookstalgic | Reading What You Own Realistic 90 Day Check-In and Mini Haul (Whoops) @bookstalgic | Uploaded February 2024 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Hi Everyone!
I wanted to share with you my thoughts about how the Read What You Own Challenge is going for me at around the 3 month mark. I succumbed to temptation and ended up picking up a few books for my classics and wildlife collection. Whoops! ;)
Reading Challenges Mentioned:
Read What You Own Challenge hosted by Criminolly (and others): youtube.com/watch?v=qfXdxiwMnWY&t=12s
My Read What You Own Plan: youtube.com/watch?v=UNmhg0zkI00&t=7s
My Rules:
1. Try to read 35-40 books from my book shelf for the challenge (it will likely take me all year).
2. Pick 3 physical books from my shelves per month (mix up the genres).
3. After I've read 3 of MY books for the month, I can get the rest from the library (or Libby app) that I feel inspired to read because of Booktube.
4. Be good about DNFing a book by page 50 if I'm not loving it.
5. One birthday bookstore buying spree is allowed. :)
6. Thrifting classics and Agatha Christie as part of my reading challenges is ok. If I see one that clearly meets a specific reading event I want to do (like Garbaugust, Historathan, etc), that's ok too.
7. I'm still allowing myself to get 2 books total from the library/Libby app for a reading event if I feel inspired and I don't already have books for the event.
Extra Rule:
8. Be flexible and have fun! Even just reading 5-10 books that you own is a win! Don't be hard on yourself if you want to still buy a book. Just do it. Life's too short. :)
I'm Farrah from bookstalgic and I have rediscovered my love of reading again in my 40s. :)
I love finding time to squeeze my love of reading into my busy life of work and family. I love talking lots of walks in nature to try to appreciate all that I can each day.
Favorite genres: it's mixed bag of Classics, Sci-Fi, Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery/Thriller, Classic Horror (not too scary lol), Nature/Environment, Non-fiction, Health, History and Speculative/Paranormal Romance
On my channel, you'll find cozy/chill reading vlogs that highlight some of the natural beauty I see outside on my daily walks around our farm.
I try to post 2 vlogs per month as well as a reading wrap up at the end of each month (I sometimes get behind, though!) :)
I hope you enjoy my channel and thank you so much for stopping by!
