📥 TBR In & Out 📤 // August 2020

Okay so I totally stole this idea from Emma at Drinking by my Shelf. 😂 She does this awesome thing each month called "Balancing the Books" where she compares how many TBR books she read with how many books she acquired throughout the month with the goal of reducing her overall TBR, or reading more books that you acquire. I absolutley love this idea. I've been wanting to reduce my TBR without any real idea of how to hold myself accountable or to see my progress along the way. I think that Emma's idea is a great way to hold yourself accountable each month and to be regularly checking in on your progress of reducing your TBR! I've decided to call it "TBR In & Out", which is admittedly a much worse name, but it makes it so I'm not totally ripping off her idea 😂

I won't be including my reading stats in these posts - those will be included in my reading wraps every few months. These posts will be more to check in on how I'm doing in reading the books I already own each month, and hopefully encourage me to *not* continue to buy a ton of books that end up collecting dust on my shelf for years at a time! 😅 So, without further adieu, here's my TBR In & Out for the month of August:
