Have I Read the Books From My Christmas Hauls Since Blogging?

Sometimes random things come into your head and will not let you go. Like after my birthday book haul I wondered how much of those in the past I had read (which will be coming next year) and later on I realized I could do the same thing to Christmas hauls since I do end up getting a decent amount of books then too.

Sometimes it is just good to look at what you haul and what of those you actually read. Sometimes it just has to do with mood or a change in taste. Or just because you have so many books to read you can’t possibly read them all in a year. It happens to the best of us.

This is a pretty decent percentage here. The only one I’ve not read is the one from a Dutch author that is likely going to get unhauled in 2020 (though it is signed). I still haven’t had the interest to pick it up and at some point you gotta let go.
