Here is my plan for the Read What You Own Challenge!
I'm keeping my plan a little flexible so I can still indulge in my spontaneous, Booktuber influenced, reading. :)

My Rules:
1. Try to read 35-40 books from my book shelf for the challenge (it will likely take me all year).
2. Pick 3 physical books from my shelves per month (mix up the genres).
3. After I've read 3 of MY books for the month, I can get the rest from the library (or Libby app) that I feel inspired to read because of Booktube.
4. Be good about DNFing a book by page 50 if I'm not loving it.
5. One birthday bookstore buying spree is allowed. :)
6. Thrifting classics and Agatha Christie as part of my reading challenges is ok. If I see one that clearly meets a specific reading event I want to do (like Garbaugust, Historathan, etc), that's ok too.
7. I'm still allowing myself to get 2 books total from the library/Libby app for a reading event if I feel inspired and I don't already have books for the event.

Extra Rule:
8. Be flexible and have fun! Even just reading 5-10 books that you own is a win! Don't be hard on yourself if you want to still buy a book. Just do it. Life's too short. :)

I'm Farrah from bookstalgic and I have rediscovered my love of reading again in my 40s. :)
I try to find any time I can to squeeze in my love of reading into my busy life of work and family. :). I love talking lots of walks in nature to try to appreciate all that I can each day.

Favorite genres: it's mixed bag of Classics, Sci-Fi, Fiction, Fantasy, Mystery/Thriller, Classic Horror (not too scary lol), Nature/Environment, Non-fiction, Health, History and Speculative/Paranormal Romance

On my channel, you'll find cozy/chill reading vlogs that highlight some of the natural beauty I see outside on my daily walks around our farm.
I try to post 2 vlogs per month as well as a reading wrap up at the end of each month (I sometimes get behind, though!) :)
I am working on doing more individual books reviews and tags as well as participating in some reading events as well.
I hope you enjoy my channel and thank you so much for stopping by!
