Most of my books are soft copies (not to be confused with paperback but in fact digital copies) but I do own a book hard copies.

This is my owned shelf.

https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Only 40 books owned. I will not be counting audio towards books read or purchases since I only do my monthly Audible purchase and the occasional deal audio book for less than $5.

1. The Fiends of Nightmaria
2. The Leopard Stratagem
3. Swarm and Steel
4. Bane and Shadow
5. The Fifth Season
6. Dancer's Lament
7. The Novice
Bought on sale for a half credit each
A. Age of Assassins
B. The Court of Broken Knives

I'm going to get a list together for mine, but also think I'm not going to count soft copies in general for mine. I don't spend any money on digital that I don't read immediately (thankfully), and I only have about 10 unread Audible titles that I'll get through within the next few months. This is strictly a physical copy management thing for me lol.

I like challenges where the user can tinker the rules to their own benefit. :)

Me too - there's something about making it personal that makes me more inclined to stick with it. :)

I thought of a second exception. Even if I'm in the hole and there's a daily deal I simply can't turn down $2-3 from $10-12. I'll make up the credits later.

I ignore those for the challenge too lol. And actually, not purchasing books is just part of the mini challenge, which you don't have to do. From what I can tell, you're pretty on top of your collection...

I back dated to where I last purchased a full price book. I also made a personal change to charge half a credit for on sales books since I just bought two.

A. Age of Assassins
B. The Court of Broken Knives

So I'm still to the good a third of a credit.

I've sort of forgotten this was out there. In spite of that I'm down from a starting point of 42 books to 38 books so at least I have positive momentum.

42 down to 25. Almost one year since we started I'm pretty happy with that.
