Overview

Do you have books on your shelf that you want to read but just sit there looking pretty? Books on your nightstand you’ve been wanting to reread but are just collecting dust? Books you’ve purchased or been gifted that aren’t as high priority as the fleeting library ebooks that you have to finish in three weeks?

Welcome to We Have Books at Home 2025! 

The goal is to read 10+ books that you already have. It could be your first read, your second, your tenth - as long as it’s a book you had at home sometime in 2024 or earlier, it counts!

Join fellow book dragons as we conquer our own personal hoards!
