I'm a planner myself! Review books come first, then I decide on Sunday what I think I want to read for the week! Though I leave myself room for choosing what I want on a whim! Which is why my "plan to read this week" part usually only lists 1 or 2 books!
Here's my Follow Friday
Have a GREAT day!

I do exactly the same thing! I can plan all day, but if I'm not in the mood, I'm not going to read it. Reading should be fun!!
Here's my F&F!
Your response was so refreshing, it seems as though I've utterly lost that freedom, I hope to make changes soon though!
