💕 What do you do with your books after reading?

Hi ,

I mentioned a few weeks back that I was going to tackle my TBR. To do that, I needed to get organized. I pulled all my books off the shelves (stacked 3 deep sometimes), sorted them by books I've started reading already, books I want to read next, books I want to read after that, etc. I put them on a different bookshelf so I could see them. That bookshelf currently has 96 books. Another 79 remain stacked on the floor. I don't know where else to put them. Yes, there is more room on the shelves, but the books there are the ones I want to read the most.

I also have ebooks and audios that aren't included in the above count.

I figure if I can read 2 books a week, I should get through all these print books in 87 weeks...that's about a year and a half. Of course, you know what they say about best laid plans.

I probably won't read all of these. There are some that I won or were free in swag bags at book events that I'm not sure I'll read. Some I bought to support the author, but I don't know if I'll read. I'm a picky reader, so it's possible I'll DNF some of the book.

The books on the top 4 shelves are the ones I'm most interested in reading at this time, so I'm going to focus on them.

What do you do with your read books?

I like buying books. I like having them on my shelf waiting to be read. But I can't remember ever reading a book again once I finished it. The closest I come is a few books (Naked In Death and Glory in Death by JD Robb) where I'll go back and reread certain scenes. But I never read the whole book again.

As you can see, I don't have a lot of shelf space. So unless there is something special about the book, I won't feel the need to keep it. I normally donate them to the library, but I'm curious about what do you do with your books once you've read them?

Keep them?

Store them?

Donate them?

Sell them?

Other?

TALES FROM THE HARTE

I have two episodes of With This Ring, I Thee Kill, book 3 in the Valentine Mysteries posted.

Eps are posted on my website and YouTube. You can get both on the Tales from Harte page at my website: Jenna Harte Tales from the Harte.

Listen to uncensored versions at Ream. All you have to do is click on "Follow" at my reader community, ReamStories.com/JennaHarte. On Ream, the stories with 🔥next to them have a spicy bit. I hope to see you there!

Come to Me

Thank you for all your support in the launch of Come to Me. A big thank you to Kerry for posting the first review on Amazon. 💗 There's another review sitting at Booksprout that I hope will post soon. Both are 5-stars.

If you picked up an ARC, I want to remind you that reviews are due by June 7.

Drawn to Her

If you downloaded Drawn to Her during the time it was free, I'd love it if you could leave a review. You might be annoyed at authors harping on reviews, but they really do help encourage more readers to try it.

Thank you so much for your support! I can't tell you what it means to me!

Have a lovely rest of the week!

Jenna
