7. Clear 77 physical books off Mt. TBR

On June 6, I finished reading A Quick & Easy Guide to Asexuality by Molly Muldoon and Will Hernandez. It happens to have been my 77th book removed from my To Be Read shelves. I don't feel like I've made a lot of progress with this, as my shelves are as full as ever. But 77 is still a great number to hit, and I was worried about making it 700 when I set the goals for this list. I'll keep up the good work and keep reading, regardless!

7. Clear 77 physical books off Mt. TBR

I read another 18 books from my To Be Read shelves in May. Not bad, but not even half of what I read in the whole month. There are just so many good books out there I want to read!

7. Release a book at the LFLs at Brookside Gardens

I have been hearing about Brookside Gardens for years. I finally made it one of my things so that I would finally check it out. I met up with a friend who had been there multiple times before and could guide me to the three little free libraries on the grounds. I released 8 different gardening-themed books among them.

I loved seeing the creative LFLs and all of the amazing plants.

7. Make a gallery of crafts I’ve done, inspired by Pinterest, with side-by-side pictures

I wasn't planning on doing this one so soon, but I'm working on Thing 65 right now (rewatching Highlander from the beginning) and decided to start going through my photos. Then, suddenly, I was making a gallery. it was fun putting together all the images with their inspirational counter-parts. In the gallery, the originals are on the left and my creations are on the right. The links to the pins on Pinterest are in the description for each photo.

My board: https://www.flickr.com/photos/katekintail/albums/72157659281000690


I was inspired by some of the other pins on my board while I was going through them. There's so much more I want to make!
