In 2019 I read 100 books that I owned before 2019.
In 2020 I read 113 books that I owned before 2020.
In 2021 I read 103 books that I owned before 2021.
In 2022 I read 53 books that I owned before 2022.
I grievously failed in 2022! I only got halfway through my goal. I ended up reading a lot more library books than owned books. But I'm going to shoot for Mt. Kilimanjaro (60)!
