I am just going to finish this years 25 RWYO Challenge as I bought MANY MANY books and since my TBR pile has increased considerably, I need to read those books before I buy others. I will utilize my local library as well but I need to at least make my 75 book challenge over half of books I own. I look forward to tackling this!

I imposed my own book buying ban this year and that didn't work out too well. But most of the books I bought were used at super discounted prices so that's my justification. lol.
