I’m borrowing this idea from Crazy Cozy Murders Secret Dreamworld of a Bookaholic – writing down all the books I added to my shelves over the course of the year, crossing off the ones I actually read, and then the total number added. Maybe this will help me keep the number down this following year.

I added 129 books to shelves, not including a large number that came from my dad and grandmother (probably totally another 50-100). I currently have 301 books on the TBR pile. Yikes.
Yay! So glad to see Everyone Is Beautiful is already crossed off!!!
Warmly,

Oh, you have some great books there waiting for you 🙂 Glad you liked my way of breaking down my reading year.
By the way, I changed my blog’s name a while ago. It’s now Secret Dreamworld of a Bookaholic, not Crazy Cozy Murders! Just thought I’d let you know.
