Theme: Books you already own"

Hello Tori, could you please expand on this theme? Does it have to be physical copies of the books? "Already own" meaning "as of Ap..."

Sorry for the late reply Adriana.

Books for the April-June theme do not have to be physical. You can use any audiobooks or ebooks you already own too!

It should be any book you own before April 1st, but this challenge has always been relaxed on the rules. Do whatever works best for you!
