My library has this new thing where you can download a list of your books for the past year. I took out 210 books from the library this past year. Which means I read almost 210 of them. Every now and then I open a book and just can’t stand it, but not that often. I choose carefully, I know what I like. So this got me curious. I checked my Kindle account for the total number of books in my cloud vs the number on my Kindle. I remove after reading to make room for more. This was a bit more complicated, I had to then check dates as I have had my Kindle for more than a year. But in the past year I have read 110 books on Kindle. Oh my. So now I am counting the physical books in my bookcase that either I bought or authors sent me. This is harder. I count 14 that I bought or was given and have already read but my son “borrows” books and I never see them again. hmmm…. That number is wildly inaccurate, just looking at my Amazon past purchases. Then taking into account the ARCs and the assorted bookstores, which I have no record for… Yikes. I really need to step up my reviewing. At least I can use the library list and give some stars at the very least on Goodreads. And resolve in this next year to blog all my reviews since doing this blog challenge is showing me I can do it every single day (so far anyway). The point is, I am buried under books and if I was as addicted to any other substance as I am to books, they would have me in a clinic.
