I decided to kick off #RIP with several short stories I got for free through Amazon last year (I think that was last year…). I also tried out a couple of shows on Netflix, but I won’t be continuing either. I’ve queued up several episodes of the “Lore” podcast, but I’ve been so into listening to audiobooks that I haven’t gotten around to the podcasts yet. I’ve also put a couple of holds for books in at my local public library, which is so close to where I work I can walk over during one of my breaks to pick up or drop off any books as needed.

Speaking of public libraries, I will use mine more often over the coming months and into the next year. I’ll be leaving my job soon due to my mental and physical health, and though I plan to get a part-time job, I won’t have nearly as much spending money as I do now and will be cutting back on expenses as much as possible. I’ve added a donation form to the sidebar of this blog so I can afford to keep it going. I’ll be bringing back the #ShelfLove challenge next year, and will hopefully be able to get back into writing reviews, so if you enjoy reading my blog, please consider donating.
