December Physical Haul—my last big haul for a while?! (hopefully)

December 31, 2018

Two of my biggest goals for 2019 are:
1. borrow more, buy less
2. read 5 owned books for every 1 unread physical book I purchase!

With these two goals in mind, HOPEFULLY, this will be the last big physical haul I post for a loooooong time!
