Well done Petrik!! I’m almost there myself. I’ve got 18 books left and I had almost 100 at the start of the year. (I’ve unhauled a lot though haha). I’m going to try and keep it low and manageable from now on.

It's certainly hard to do but man, I don't like seeing my purchased books just collecting dust in the corner. I'll definitely make sure my physical books buying manageable from now on.

That's amazing, Petrik! Super congrats to you! I'll never be able to do that. I could read a book a day for the next year and half and still not be done with all the physical and ebooks I own.
This is actually possible??? Holding yourself hostage until you've read ALL your owned books??? Inconceivable!! Lol, kudos on this momentous feat!! I would love to say I've managed to do this, but it'll only ever be in my dreams 😉
OMG, I've done that too! I don't know about anyone else, but I usually have to have a book ban about every other year. In fact, I kinda need one now... Congrats, my friend!

This is strictly for physical books though, I have no idea when I'll be able to finish my ebooks TBR :D

You are the Master! Sometimes I dream to have read all my physical books but that seems impossible. I'll be happy with achieving a more manageable number.🤣 Let's see if I can do it by the end of the year. When are you starting the Wheel of Time? I know people really love that series but I'm not 100% sold yet.
