I decided to do the Library Love challenge for a couple reasons. 1) I wanted to track how many books I was actually borrowing vs buying. 2) To encourage myself to borrow more than I buy. If I’m only going to read a book once on my kindle, there’s just really no purpose in my buying it. I can save my money for physical copies of my favorites instead. And while I do take advantage of some ARCs, I honestly don’t accept a lot because I don’t like being given deadlines. They just stress me out and take away the joy of reading for me.
For all the deets on the Library Love Challenge, you can go here ~
