Overview

For the past few years, the rate at which I've been acquiring new books has exceeded the rate at which I read them. For 2025, I want to challenge myself to read at least 20 books that I already owned prior to January 1, 2025. And if there are any that I do not enjoy and mark as DNF, then I'm going to unhaul them. My bookshelves are overflowing and I have got to regain at least some control of this physical TBR!
