July 2023 Book Balance | I am holding myself accountable!

Hello and welcome to my first book balance video!
This video is inspired by ‪@DrinkingByMyShelf‬ (who sadly doesn't make videos anymore but you can see her wonderful videos over on ‪@BookBreak‬ )
Also kicked into gear by ‪@LadetteM‬ and ‪@OliviasCatastrophe‬ who are battling it out this year!
Some of you lovely people have been asking about supporting my channel and the best way to do this is:
Become a Channel Member here on TH-cam, from 99p per month
If you want to buy any of the books mentioned in my videos, check out my NEW bookshop.org storefront. I am new to using this properly but every video I am going to make a list of the books mentioned and you can find them all here: uk.bookshop.or... for each book you buy from there I earn a small commission :)
Thank You!

Love that you're joining us along for the ride with the challenge and look at you managing to get to the negative in the first month already! I am very curious to see why you dnfed is this ok and why it didn't work for you, so I'll stay tuned for the wrap up! But absolutely the right choice on everything is fine.

Love this little video first thing in the morning 😊 I keep trying to get through my TBR shelves, but every time I go near a charity shop or book shop I end up with a few more 😂 I'm an optimist, I reckon you'll smash the 50, so let's say 55 😁

[@booksandbargains]

Ooo love a bit of optimism!! I thought I'd experiment with different upload times!

[@olliewally5061]

i love your vids so much!!

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you 💜

[@jenniferpeterson530]

I really loved Emma’s balancing the books, this was so cute! I’m going to guess -42, Good luck.

[@booksandbargains]

Fingers crossed!

[@OnlyIfForAPage]

Pretty amazing you read several books in the same month you got them :- )) Good luck with the challenge! :- )

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you, its mot a regular thing but I'm trying to make it more the norm in my collection!

[@christinacampbellbooks]

I loved Emma's balancing the books updates so so pleased to see that you're doing this too, Charlotte! Looking forward to following you on the journey and see what number you reach ☺

[@booksandbargains]

Me too! I just hope I can live up to her updates 🤣

[@christinacampbellbooks]

@@booksandbargains I'm sure you will ☺

[@WhatVictoriaRead]

You look beautiful here; yellow is totally your colour! My guess is -45 💛

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you 😃

[@jop5547]

Good start to the balancing. I reckon you'll get to -45 x

[@booksandbargains]

Oo thanks! I am hopeful ☺️

[@CharlieBrookReads]

Love your yellow top!! I think you will be at -38 . I mean I think you could easily achieve it it depends on life stuff as we never know. Life stuff can either make our goals easier or harder depending so who knows 🤞🤞🤞❤️❤️❤️Good luck though lovely.

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you

[@amy_harboredinpages8272]

-47!!!😃👍📚📖📖📖

[@LadetteM]

It's always nice to know that you're happy with the outcome of reading and book buying! Good luck with continuing this challenge!

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you!

[@rosebud7233]

My guess is -20.

[@booksandbargains]

Thank you

[@jamieinbookland8013]

I reckon you’ll get to -57

I was wondering because you didn't include getting physical & E books out of the library Also do U have neighbourhood mini library house where U can get free books & deposit your unwanted books if yes do you include these towards your tbr & low spend & any other free books from the different places. Video idea getting free physical /E books from different places,web sites for a whole year because I need to stop buying books I've got a few years worth of books to read doesn't help got a book store near my place & bookcase outside neighbourhood centre for free books both 10-15 mins from my place

[@booksandbargains]

Unfortunately i dont have a free library near me, and my local library has very limited opening hours which dont fit with my responsibilities at th moment.

[@sarareads9185]

I feel like you will fall in the middle. So my guess is 40.

[@booksandbargains]

I love that everyone is rooting for me!
