Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 38 comments I may have failed at my goal in 2022 but I far surpassed it in 2023! I think doing Shrink the Shelf (twice a year-read physical owned-@katesbooknook) and Lower the Library (twice a year-read digital owned-@readwithria) on Instagram REALLY helped me surpass my goal.

Regardless of whether I'm borrowing or reading my own, I will be pretty e-book and audiobook heavy for awhile because I'm having a baby in January!

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.
In 2023 I read 177 books that I owned before 2023.

Liander (The Towering Pile) Lavoie (liannelavoie) | 43 comments *Borat voice* Great success!

Maybe those occasional short TBR pushes are what I need, because just trying to keep up throughout the year doesn't seem to be working too well for me lol.

Elyse (winesaboutbooks) | 38 comments The healthy competition and borrowing audio of e-books and physical books really helped me!
