My Goodreads "To Read" shelf is overflowing and yet here I am adding a few more from your list. You'll definitely enjoy Untamed, it has been one of my favorite reads of the year.

I'm so looking forward to it! I actually bought and started it shortly after it came out, but then we moved and I lost a whole box full of books and still haven't found them! 😭 I got a copy from a friend and am excited to restart and finish it this year.

Legends and lattes has been in my TBR for so long! I even own it. Maybe I'll read it this year.

If you do, let me know! I'd love to talk with you about it!

I’m currently reading How to Do Nothing and it’s changing my perception of so much! Although it reads a bit like an academic paper so I can’t take in too much at one time.

Braiding sweet grass too! Oh my word, it’s incredible and beautiful and poetic.

A book on my list is Becoming a Matriarch, but I haven’t planned anything out to this degree. I’ve actually never thought of keeping a list. I see a book, I want to read it, so I get it.

That's generally how I operate, too! But I have books on my shelves/tbr that I'll never get to otherwise, even though I definitely want to - Braiding Sweetgrass is one of them! I've been meaning to read it for over a year now, I think, but keep putting it off. Same with most of the re-reads on my queue! I'm hoping this will just offer less distraction so I can prioritize books I really want to get to.

I just have stopped getting books for the most part because of that. But I recently read that acquiring books could be like acquiring a nice wine; you save it for when the time feels right. And I liked that.

I’d like to spend more time reading this year; maybe I’ll make a little list too 🤔

I haven't bought many new books for years but I've been collecting them for quite a while, so I've got more than I know what to do with anyway😅

No pressure to make a list, but if you do, I hope it helps you read more like you're wanting!
