My Read the Books You Buy Challenge.

This is a reading challenge hosted here. You can find all the details in the sign up post.  

I find it helps me to keep track of what I have bought and what I have read. In 2016 the ones I didn't read I have transferred to a TBR reading challenge so that I can take time to read them. That makes me feel like I am in control of my spending, that I am reading what I am buying.

So the challenge allows for inclusion of books bought from July 2016 onwards until the end of December 2017. I'll just add to the  list as I buy and mark off as I read.

These are the levels

20% or less      Money Sitting on the Shelf.

20 - 40%          Making Inroads.

40 - 60 %         Moderately Successful

60 - 80 %        Maximising  Returns

80 - 100%       Mission Accomplished

If I have read about 65% of my books bought by the end of 2017 I'll count that a win, in 2015 it was 32%, 2016 will see me hopefully hitting 50%, so I want to keep on moving up!
