TBR Challenge?

I feel like me and TBRs are a losing battle. We all know what happens. We have a lot of the books we want to read in a month. The most anticipated. The ones that we want to read. The end of the month rolls around and we haven't read them all.

For the history of the blog, l have done so many like this. l have been too ambitious or I want to read something else so those books remain unread. I would love to do a reaction because there are books I put on my TBR put to five years ago and I still haven't read them!

l have to admit that in daily life this year, the same thing has happened. I don't make TBRs for the blog but I like to have a pile of books that I want to read on my nightstand and so many of them are just sitting there. Unread and it is making me feel so bad. 

I know that this is because I haven't been reading as much as I like this year, especially in the last month or so. I use to have a lot more free time when l was at university. Now it just seems like my life is never-ending. I always have something I can do before I get to reading. 

I definitely do need to manage my time better in this case as I really want to read more. So hopefully in the month of May, I can make more time for reading because I do miss it. Also, my overall TBR is out of control so reading the books will definitely help with this!

In general, I think that I personally should get rid of TBRs because life is too unpredictable for me. I would love to be one of those people it works for and who sticks to them. But right now, that's just not me and that's OK.

I just need to get reading!

Book Review: The Great Godden by Meg Rossoff

   * I am reviewing this book which I was gifted for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Reviewing All Of The Books

Earlier this year, I decided that I would review all of the books that I read. For the most part, I definitely have but over the last couple of months it has definitely gone to the wayside but that is because I have been so busy. I wanted to do it because I annoyed myself that I reviewed books years after I read them and I often couldn't remember the plot. Trust me this is still the case, but I have kind of run out of books that I need to review this year which is weird for me. My backlog is getting lower and as I am not reading as much, I genuinely think I might run out. This has never happened before. This is of course quite nice because I think that it creates feelings that are much better than remembering a book from two years ago. Thinking about it at the moment does definitely make it easier as it goes into my head on a computer screen and less memory space is always a good idea. I also do think that sometimes it does take the fun out of it though but there are a lot of benef...
