Hello all and welcome to another month and the continuation of my Read 5, Buy 1 challenge. This month I will admit I did not fully stick to my Read 5, Buy 1 because I went away on vacation and what does a bookworm do when they are away on vacation? They visit awesome new bookstores and bookshops and buy books! Well, at least that is what I did/do. So there are a few extra books I am adding to this haul.
I want this journey to be honest, so I am not hiding the fact that I have some extra books on here. Plus, I want to share the awesome books I have come across and thought so highly of I felt the need to get them right away. Anyway, here are the books I have read and the books I have added to my TBR. I will say at one point I was under 30 books on my owned TBR and it felt great, hopefully I can get there again soon!

Well you still didn’t do that bad! I went to a book shop yesterday with some friends, and told myself I wouldn’t buy anything.. So I’m pretty proud that I left with only one book ahha! My friend made me buy Rivers of London, I ahdn’t heard about it before but she told me it was really good!

I’m in awe of your TBR being 33, my goal this year is to get to under 70 unread books by the end of the year. Good luck reaching your goal, it looks like you’re getting pretty close to being under 30 again! My BOTM just came in, and I added Well Met and Bringing Down the Duke to my unread pile.

It took a lot of work to get it to that point. I used to have over 100 and it was just something I could not deal with personally. I just got Bringing Down the Duke too for my BOTM! It looks like it is going to be quirky, funny and adorable all at the same time. I am excited to get to it.
Thank you and I hope you reach your goal this year too!
