I have made a New Year's Resolution the TWO YEARS to not buy anymore books until I've read all of the books I have sitting on my shelf. And... I have been completely unsuccessful. So a challenge like this would be really fun for me so that I can keep track of how many I'm reading, how many I'm buying, etc. Is it too late to join for this year?!<br /><br />https://chocolateandchapters.wordpress.com/Rachel @ chocolateandchaptershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432549733802967402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-45861551775978057132017-03-15T08:13:50.342+13:002017-03-15T08:13:50.342+13:00Welcome in, yes it does make you keep an eye on wh...Welcome in, yes it does make you keep an eye on what you buy and that then actually read it!!Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964951326616144323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-63288789934399095012017-03-15T00:32:31.445+13:002017-03-15T00:32:31.445+13:00I am going to join this challenge.

I keep a spreadsheet of all the books I read and the source - whether I get them from the library, get them for review or I have bought them so I will create a blog post with my goal for the challenge and linkup. Great motivation to read my own books. <br />http://runwright.netrunwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00670889747681239410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3168132027607016845.post-72829235292780902412017-03-02T08:11:03.266+13:002017-03-02T08:11:03.266+13:00hi there.

I can't help myself. If a book comes out that sounds like something I know I would like, it's just too easy to hit "one click" on Amazon. Plus I purchase a lot of audio books as well. I also like to support my author/blogger friends so I do my best to buy their books when releasd. I have so many books on my Kindle and it's so unorganized I'm beggining to get overwhelmed when I turn it on. I need this challenge. Is it too late to join?
