Note: I quit linking titles to that big site that funds the rich dude and his space wars with other rich dudes. I’ve linked to Goodreads, but if you’re looking to support independent bookstores, my favorite local shop is Old Town Books (they ship!), and you can support my favorite podcast and a local shop of your choosing through their Bookshop.org link at KickBezosInTheBalls.org. And you can never go wrong with your local library!

- Audiobooks: 1
- Kindle: 14
- Physical books: 0
2. Decrease my TBR –
- Jan 1: 64 physical / 20 digital
- Feb 4: TBD*/20
- Mar 2: TBD*/20
- Apr 3: TBD*/20
- May 2: TBD*/19
- June 3: TBD*/20
- July 4: TBD**/20
* I purged a LOT of books when we moved, and I’ll be reunited with my books soon!
** My books are unpacked. I’ll do an inventory soon.
3. Read 24 minutes per day – June 30 was Day 1019 of my reading streak.
Not a huge reading month, in part due to travel and moving. But I FINALLY finished Patrick Stewart’s memoir. Considering travel and moving into a new house and unpacking, I’m just glad I kept my streak alive.
I’ve already finished a book on July 1 (I couldn’t quite finish it to count for June), so I’ll commit to 4 books for July.
