Levels:
- Dewey Decimal: Read 12 books
- Thrifty Reader: Read 24 books
- Overdrive Junkie: Read 36 books
- Library Addict: Read 48 books
- Library Card on Fire: Read 60+ books
This is my third year in the Library Love Challenge. My goal was 48 books, the Library Addict level. I read and listen to quite a few but don’t always review them all here on the blog. It was reduced in number by my reviewing more new release audiobooks and a trial of Kindle Unlimited. I have a total of 110.
I use my library extensively for all formats. I take the opportunity to read or listen to earlier books in a series when I am catching up, to try out new series, or for non-fiction research. I do the shortest reviews and the least reviews on the blog for this challenge. So while I recorded the challenge on the blog, it wasn’t very accurate.

Nice job and great savings!
Thanks. So next year maybe I just do this and not do the review linky, since I obviously suck at it. And as host I won’t be doing the rafflecopters.
No worries on the linky. I had a few others that got confused and I had to move their reviews. I may not have been clear. Who knows! Trial and error. That’s how we know what works and what doesn’t. I think this new way to link will be much better. ^_^
I like to see posts like this what savings. It’s nice to see how much ppl save when using the library.
I am planning to do this for 2020 and just add to it every month. Obviously, I won’t do the rafflecopter at all but do we do the review linky. I think just this is enough?
wow…..look at all that and boy those savings. I have never tracked my savings while using the library….I am going to start doing that, since I use my library quite a bit. Hope your year in 2020 is fabulous darling. Happy New Year
Thank you! It was interesting to do this but I would use my library heavily, daily, either way. always! Happy New Year to you too!
Excellent, Anne? Great accomplishment.
Thank you! It doesn’t seem so hard when I just want to read them.
