Hello Readers! I hope everyone is doing well, and if you are a mother, had a happy Mother's Day. The husband's aunt and uncle (who we haven't seen in forever) were in the area this past week. We spent a lot of the weekend with them, which was lovely. I did manage to finish a book at some point, either last week or this weekend. I don't really remember when it was. I've been attempting to do a blog post all weekend, but it's just been busy. At this point, a lot of the details are fuzzy for me, so I'll just give a quick couple of thoughts.
The book I read was The Druid by Jeff Wheeler. I slated it for #1 on the 2022 Reading Challenge for a book under $5. It was an Amazon First Reads, so I felt like this counts. It was a shorter story, but I loved it. I thought it had an interesting magic system, and I rated it four stars on Goodreads. I only gave it four stars because there was a lot of the magic system and world that I felt needed to be better defined. I did find out that Jeff has a TON of other books, so now I'm struggling not to binge read those as I want to stick with the challenge.
I've wanted to do this kind of post for a while now. Since I've had to move a lot, usually the first thing to get sold or donated is my physical books, as they are a pain to move. This is why I mostly gravitate towards Kindle books, don't really do the Book Haul posts anymore, and don't update those posts with what I've read. My husband and I bought our first house back in September. Shortly after Christmas, my husband and his best friend put up a couple of shelves for me in the cutouts near the fireplace. So, in pictures, here's a look at my books. I've also included the screenshots of my Kindle bookshelf, both read and unread.
I am going to need more bookshelves at some point. My husband has taken up a hobby of going to garage sales and thrift stores and buying used video games. Do you know what else those have? Books. I have acquired so many books. The military-esq stuff is my husband's books. The rest are mine. My current organization system is by height. I try to keep the books in a series together, but there is otherwise no organization. It stresses me out if the books are not by height.
