I want to clean up my Netgalley shelf, so I’m planning a monthly check-in. I have several books that have been ignored for too long. I promised myself I wouldn’t request any new books until the list was a little bit smaller. So, for accountability purposes, I plan to share my shelf once a month. I hope you’ll follow along on my journey to see what I’ve read … and what I’ve added.
