Ending the year with 161 owned but unread ebooks and paperbooks. I began with 165, deleted 2 freebies and 2 duplicates, acquired 18 newbies, and read 18 of that total.
Overall, I read 82 books of which 40 were borrowed from the library/amazon prime, 18 were books I owned, 13 were audiobooks either owned or borrowed, and 11 were advance reading copies.

ROOT (Read Our Own Tomes) was a big help in reminding me to reach for a book I already own when I’m ready to start a new one and this check-in helps me curb that urge to buy more. (Although I would have ended up with much better numbers if it hadn’t been for all the sales around the holidays.)
Still nothing to brag about but I feel I’m closer to my goal of only buying books I’m likely to read.
