My 100 book challenge!

Like many people who love books, I buy far too many books. I think this is especially a problem for people who have become swept up in the bookish side of social media, where acquisition often seems as important as reading.
Since I started my BookTube channel this has become an even bigger issue for me personally. My ability to find job lots of men’s adventure novels on eBay practically superhuman.
The growing piles of unread paperbacks around the house have convinced me that I need to slow down. I am therefore setting myself a challenge. I’m going to read 100 books I already own before I buy any new ones.
I’m allowing myself 4 caveats:
1) I can receive books as gifts
2) I will continue to subscribe to the Abominable Book Club (cos those guys are great).
3) I will still accept ARCs from publishers and authors.
4) I will get books from the library, but only for my book club.
Any books that I read through one of the caveats above do not count against the target.

I’ll provide updates here and on YouTube.
