I had a strong intention to spend more time here this year. Although I started out well, I struggled in the middle of the year and never came back.
I have good reasons though. A good friend and cheerleader passed away, leaving her daughter, who is one of my bestest friends, grappling for meaning in her grief. That's not to say I haven't been busy; if anything, I've been busier than ever.
The second half of June has found me spending quite a lot of time at home. The third week I was working from home so I was not distracted from a work project by my coworkers and this final week had me at home on 'vacation'. Sometimes we just need a reset.
As a result, I got a lot of work done around my house; you guessed it, I was listening to audiobooks while I did it. I quickly processed all 4 of my TBR Busterland picks and put the question to my followers on TikTok: what do I do? Roll for 2-4 more picks or do I choose another method?
Of the several hundred views, I got 4 likes and 2 responses. I have come to terms with the fact that my mutuals do not interact with my content the way I interact with their content. I hit the like button on all their videos, but they cannot be bothered to return the respect. Whatever. I'm the Hype Girl. Very few people hype me back, but they know who they are and they have my loyalty.
In any event, I did not roll for more books. What I did do however was design a second TBR game.
In looking back at my daily log, I'm pretty proud of myself. There were only 7 days where I didn't pick up a book.
So let's get into the stats!
