Ending the year with 179 owned but unread ebooks and paperbooks. I began with 184, deleted 1 that was gosh-awful, and acquired 15 newbies. Of these owned books I read 19. That’s 15 new books and 19 read.

Overall, I read 87 books of which 39 were borrowed, 19 were owned, 12 were audiobooks either borrowed or owned, and 17 were advance reading copies.

My goal for the next year is to only buy books I plan to read right away. Even if they’re not on sale. I think I’ll spend less that way than by buying bargains that I just end up hoarding. Also, I’m setting a LibraryThing ROOT (Read Our Own Tomes) goal of 18 books including audio.
