But I wanted to revist my goal and so I went back and counted from my reading list for this year how many books I've read from my own shelves or eshelves. Curious? 17! So far in 2012 I have read 17 of the books I've been saving until I get around to them while constantly buying more. But I pretty much paused the buying in order to dominate some of what I already have!
Better still, I've continued my love for passing them on! Amber and I have been exchanging books like crazy this year but I've also passed on books to Mia, Jo, and Lindsey too! It's clearing spots for the books people keep generously giving me and those I keep acquiring whether through purchase or trade.
The last post got a great response from many of you who thought you should try the same...how's it coming?
Love,
B

You are seriously on a roll!
I've actually been doing the same! I'm on my second novel that's been sitting on my shelf for a while. And I've been plowing through a lot of my Christian books as well!
Thanks for passing a book on to me! :)
That's awesome! I used to spend SO MUCH money on books before I discovered the library. How did I never use the library before?? I think I've bought less than 10 books in the last three years b/c I just borrow them all for free! (Of course, I still do have a million unread books on my bookshelves too... lol)
Such a great idea to pass them on too-- I have a ton that I could get rid of but just haven't.
