[Janice, Moderator]

You're doing great! My owned print books went down by 2, but my owned audiobooks exploded. I own 44 more audiobooks than I did on Jan 1st last year.

[Lori Z]

Thanks, Janice! I need to get my 2021 thread going and put these new stats down so I can keep track of my "progress" again.
