Well done, Connie! I also have a large secret amount of books on my shelf.
Maybe we can keep each other accountable? :)

One book isn't so bad, really. I added three to my shelf last month, one by accident.

Thanks for the encouragement. Somehow lately I've been wanting to read only library books, so I really need to focus on my NetGalley ones.

I've been travelling, so I'm behind in my reporting. I updated Post #23.

Good job, Lara!

Thanks Kristie! I'm hoping to keep up the momentum and clean out some unfinished books that have been hanging for a while in May.

[Connie N.]

Wow, Lara, that's great! Your ratio must have increased from the beginning of the month to the end, right?

Yes, I think it was a little below 80% when I started. I added several books during the month and they accounted for almost half. I'm pretty new to NetGalley and don't have a blog, so am not competitive when requesting the popular titles. This has limited my shelf size and kep tme from being buried. I'm amazed at how many books some have. I read a lot, but am not sure I'd be able to get through more. I'm already struggling with some.
