I cannot tell you how much fun we had talking with Whitney Conard of The Unread Shelf for this episode of Unabridged. We chatted all things books, why it's helpful to count your unread books, and favorite teas (spoiler alerts: I don't really drink tea!). Listen to pick up some tips for tackling your own unread shelves, to learn all about Whitney's journey, and to move forward with some powerful goals.⠀

How do you deal with YOUR unread books?
My second #audiobook ever was excellent. It‘s basically about how, all things considered, it‘s sort of nonsense to say you‘ve read a book or haven‘t. There are just books that you‘re more or less familiar with, and that you have opinions about them. I‘m not explaining this very well. Suffice it to say that when the line about the Bible being a “book unknown to me, negative opinion” came up, I laughed out loud.
The Japanese have a word for it 🤓.
Books can indeed be lovely home accessories, right?

Part 2 of the haul. I'm hoping the tagged book is helpful because there are always people at these sales who want to talk about books I haven't read, even after saying I never read it (or any of their books, in fact).
Books, books, everywhere, and I can‘t make myself pick one up for more than a few minutes. I haven‘t had a serious reading session in a few days. Is it the weather? A breakdown in my book organizing, for sure. Although, I do know which ones are read and which are to be read. And believe me, there are more books lurking in other corners of the room. And what do I do? You guessed it. I buy more books. *sigh*

Friends, Littens,
Back in January, I posted this #bulletjournal spread over on Instagram to share my intention to participate in the #unreadshelfproject and how I would approach the task as a whole. It's slightly embarrassing to admit this number, but I know Litsy is a safe space where I won't be judged, can hold myself accountable, and share my progress. So far, 5 down and working on 2 more. Might get tricky with a move in the near future!

I plan on making more bookish jewelry because I love it.
When I read a book & it's so good I want to talk about it to someone, I always end up trying to push it on my husband. I tell him he needs to read it ASAP, but he usually gives me the "really?!?" look, grabs it, & tells me that he already has plenty that he needs to read on his TBR shelf. So it end up on his shelf just gathering dust?. If anyone is reading a book I'm reading & would like to discuss it while or after we finish, let me know. ???
New books for the wishlist....
This is what I'm going to have to do because I ain't reading much these days.
