I was trying to read some of the books I have shelved and read more than New Releases. I hoped to read some books I had purchased but I think more of these were library books. I started with a goal of 26 (one every 2 weeks) and then upped it to 52 (one book a week) and still exceeded it easily by reading 131 backlist books this year.

I like your specific number goal of one every week. I need to do that so I can hit my Mt. TBR challenge numbers for once.
Woohoo! You got through a ton. That’s great!
You’re the early bird today! Thank you always for being here. Sigh, it never seems like enough and not necessarily the books I want most to read. I am working on setting up resolutions to focus my reading a bit more this year.
Congrats! Are you doing this challenge in 2020 again? Happy reading.
Thank you! No I am doing something different with challenges for 2020. I’m doing a post on Sunday.
