Read Your Own Books Challenge

Challenge: Read 50 Books I Own
Status: 53/50

___________________________________________

I, of course, managed to read many of my own books this year. However, it is largely because I went out and purchased the books I read, rather that taking them from my already ample shelves. Sigh. I love buying books. Thanks to MizB for hosting this challenge!
