reading log

In an attempt to encourage myself to spend more time reading and less time absorbing mind-numbing insanity {um...Netflix} I am looking to keep myself accountable by keeping a log of what I'm reading this year {showing date of completion for each book}

I'm not one to buy souvenirs but I am one to journey through thrift shops wherever I am. I got this promising and eclectic mix on our recent trip to Ottawa! 📚 #bookscore #thriftblitz #bookstagram #bookhaul #readersgonnaread
