Normally I look at my reading accomplishments and just want to read more.
This year, my challenge to myself is to read books that I actually own.
Most of my reading has been through the Edmonton Public Library. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that but I am, what is charitably called, a bibliophile. I buy books and simply shelve them. I love books and want them around me but there is always something I don't own that I am interested in reading and the library enables me to do so.
But I have so many books that I have been forced to box up most of them and store them in the basement, and yet I keep buying more.
So this year the only books I will enjoy from the library are audio books, which I listen to while delivering the mail.
My books deserve my attention and this is the year I will make a dent in them.
Not a bad goal, eh?

Below are pictures from my basement of shelves and boxes packed with books I have not read. My house should look like the image above but, since it doesn't, I have to start unpacking and read, read, read.
