Since I joined the 75 book challenge, it seems convenient to track reading my own books that I've collected from my mom, Little Libraries, free boxes, and even purchased! They've stacked up! I'm counting anything that was acquired prior to 2024. I only listed 20, partly so that I can succeed, and partly because the herd needs thinning and not everything owned is going to get read.
I have a longer intro on the 75 book challenge here: https://www.librarything.com/topic/356615#n8338771

Welcome! You're a brave woman, keeping two threads in different groups. I tried that once and almost lost my mind. I'm sure you are much more organized than I am, though!

>6 rosalita: rosalita - We'll see what happens! I may very well lose it trying to keep track, forget completely that I signed up, or be entirely successful. So many possibilities. Ha!
