In 2018, I hope to read 140 books. Of these, I want to read at least 40 books that I own or have in my possession. I also hope to read 30 e-books on my Kindle and/or Nook. Another 20 books will be from ARC/giveaways.

Thanks, Suzy. Now if I can only do it. I have been spending the last couple days, albeit intermittently (an hour here, an hour there), rearranging my books so I can see all the titles again. My husband has been building me new bookshelves and I hope to read most of my books through my own library of unread books. I think it is entirely possible IF I don't hit the library. Yeah, right! I volunteer there.

Unfortunately, I live dangerously close to a library!
Me too. A block away. I certainly understand where you are coming from (probably the library).

Thanks, Sonya. I hope I get to 140, but I doubt it considering the time left. On the other hand, it is the enjoyment of the books I am reading that matters.
