Let’s take a look at my Challenge Progress. Mostly I have been focusing on Books Purchased in 2017, but according to the rules, you can decide to include from July 2016 buys through December 2016.
Here are my book purchases falling into that latter category. The ones linked to reviews have already been read.
Totals: Out of 75 books purchased during that period, 14 remain unread. Several were read last year for the 2016 Challenge.
You may notice some that are crossed out, but not linked to a review. Those are books already read, but purchased as re-reads.
I am feeling more optimistic, now that I’ve looked at these numbers!
