The Beginning

Why, hello there! My name is Katie, and I'm embarking on a project. I am a compulsive book buyer. I mostly purchase books at Half Price Books and Goodwill, but since I'm a teacher I get discounts at other places, which only encourages the habit. I have around 400.

But here's the thing.

I've read an estimated 150 of those books.

I KNOW. It's shameful.

But that's why I'm starting this blog. I'm trying to keep myself accountable. I am not supposed to buy any books until a read all that I own. I'll post when I finish a book and tell you a little about it. I'll also post updates on any reading challenges that I'm doing and maybe other book-related topics. I'm allowing myself use of the library (I can't NOT read the last Lunar Chronicles book), and I will be continuing my Audible subscription. I'm addicted to Davina Porter's readings of the Outlander series, and I'm NOT ashamed of it!

Though this will primarily be a book blog, I also happen to be something of a movie buff. I love the Oscars, and I'm also working on the AFI Top 100 Movie List, so there might be an occasional movie post.

This blog is a very impulsive thing, but I'm hoping I keep it up. Not sure if I'm going to show anyone I know yet. We'll see. For now, that's all I got.
