Bought too many books this month and also didn’t read enough. The pile tomorrow is going to be the smallest in quite a while.


I think this counts as progress, actually.

Hm. Well, that’s a problem. But not my fault; I did everything I could, and you did too.

… also, why are you still here?


… yeah, it’s gonna take two pictures again. Sigh. I’ve got two weeks off coming, I can tighten this up. I swear.
One book in one of those pictures was bought out of spite. See if you can guess which one! Your hint is that it’s new this month, but unfortunately there are a lot of those.

But hey, at least it all fits on one shelf this time!
Hahahaha lol nope:


“That’s not that bad,” you might be thinking. “Didn’t you say yesterday that your unread shelf was going to be unprecedented and absolutely ridiculous?”
Yes, I said that. Look closer.
“I mean, it’s interesting that those are all hardbacks. And it’s weird that they’re all the same size. But a bunch of them are new … wait.”
Sigh.

I’m never getting caught up.

I swear to God I read books this month, and I also swear to God that end-of-summer book sales are the bane of my existence.

Did I rearrange this shelf hoping to hide the fact that there are more books on it than there were last month?
…maybe. I might have done that.
