Good morning! Today as I was creating a new blog header here, I decided to look back at what I was posting about a year ago.
Yes, I like peeking into the archives.
There it was, that midpoint check-in for Read the Books You Buy Challenge. A year ago, of course, we were halfway through 2016, and I wrote:
In July 2016, halfway toward my goal, I have read and reviewed 38 in all.
I am thoroughly enjoying the process….and haven’t actually decided on my percentages. I’m just reading as many books as I can.
***
This year’s midpoint has not yet been posted….but so far in the Read the Books You Buy Challenge- 2017, I have completed 62 books. So I’m doing better this year!
I like challenging myself, and the motivation of trying to do better than I did the previous year is a good one for me.

As for the numbers of books I’ve purchased so far this year, I still went a bit crazy. But so far in July, I’ve “only” bought 6 books; and in June, I purchased 11…four of which I’ve already read and reviewed.
The journey is challenging…but fun. What do you do to find your motivation? How do you curtail (or not) your purchases?

CURL UP AND READ 
That’s a phenomenal achievement in my book.
